When the housing market picks up again, all signs point toward a home-buying public that will be more techno-savvy than ever before. Today’s technology solutions pervade every aspect of consumers’ lives—from the cars they drive and the phones they use, to the houses they want to come home to. The past has shown technology grows exponentially, rather than vertically, so what can residential builders do to meet the demands of buyers now and in the future?
By offering the latest in IP-connected technologies and wireless HANs (home area networks), builders have a leg to stand on when they promise customers long-term value. Utility meters, thermostats, appliances, and electric vehicles are just a few examples of up-and-coming smart devices that will require a HAN to connect to the smart grid. As the number of ways to connect a home grows, builders that can offer “future proofing” options to buyers worried about becoming obsolete will be better off.
