As the home to Lowery Premier Team Lead Jesse Lowery's first ever real estate closing, Arcadia, AZ, holds a special place in our team's history. Over the past several years, this area has exploded with both incredible new homes and premium renovations of existing properties, driving even more value to this secluded neighborhood in prime location. With these home updates and continued technological advancements, smart home upgrades have become a popular way to put a premium touch on these luxurious properties. These upgrades offer convenience and appeal to modern buyers looking for both efficiency and innovation. If you're looking to put a premium touch on your Arcadia home (and maybe even bring additional value to potential buyers), here are some smart home upgrades to consider.
Automated Window Coverings
No one ever said that they LOVED manually opening and closing all of the window coverings in their home (especially on those 10-foot-tall sliding glass doors. Automated shades and window coverings offer fantastic convenience, saving time and physical effort that can be better spent elsewhere. Whether window coverings are programmed to open and close based on the time of day or simply raised and lowed on-demand, this improvement is a fantastic bonus. In Arcadia, where sunlight is abundant, this feature can protect the home and its contents, while reducing cooling costs. Buyers may appreciate the modern touch as they visualize themselves living in their new home, making automated window coverings a desirable feature.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats are a top choice for homeowners looking to improve energy efficiency. These devices learn your schedule and adjust temperatures accordingly, reducing energy consumption. In Arcadia's warm climate, a smart thermostat can lower cooling costs, but that may simply be a bonus for the owner of a premium property. However, the fact that these smart thermostats can be controlled remotely via smartphone apps and even integrated with other smart home systems is the real bonus, offering convenience and control even when you're away from home. This feature is particularly appealing to tech-savvy buyers who value automation and control for seamless living.
Security Systems
Upgrading to a smart security system can enhance your home's appeal for premium buyers who value privacy, security, and peace of mind. If you want to enhance your home and appeal to premium buyers, available modern systems offer wired and wireless options, as well as features like video doorbells, motion sensors, and remote monitoring. Potential buyers can be put at ease knowing that their new home is equipped to protect both their family and the contents of the home, even when they are away.
Smart Lighting
Perhaps one of the most helpful automations on a day-to-day basis, smart lighting systems allow homeowners to control lighting remotely, set schedules, and even change colors to suit the mood. This upgrade not only adds convenience but also enhances the ambiance of your home. In a neighborhood that values premium outdoor living and entertaining, smart outdoor lighting can create a welcoming environment for evening gatherings, while saving time and improving convenience.
Smart Irrigation Systems
Many yards in Arcadia boast gorgeous greenery, even in the midst of a desert climate. Maintaining excellent landscaping enhances curb appeal, which can help to make the perfect first impression in the minds of potential buyers. However, these beautiful yards can be water-intensive, so if you want your yard to be as efficient as possible, a smart irrigation system can optimize water usage by adjusting watering schedules based on weather conditions. Additionally, remote app-based control of your system can prevent annoying trips out to the timer and allow you or your staff to manage the system even when travelling.
Smart Home Hubs & Integration
Keep in mind that many smart home improvements are only as good as they are USABLE. One of the ways to enhance the usability of your system is to utilize components that interact seamlessly with a unified central smart home hub. These hubs can allow you to deploy voice commands from a single location to manage a diverse set of smart home features, rather than visiting every one of a half-dozen different applications. Additionally, centralized smart home applications can allow you to manage systems directly from your smartphone, while providing voice-activated actions directly from your phone.
