New home buyers are becoming increasingly tech-savvy. Are you ready to respond?
With tech-savvy millennials (born between 1980 to 1996) firmly in the market for new homes, it is imperative that builders stay up-to-date with the latest technology advances. Smart Home technology is on the rise and experts are anticipating that home devices connected to the internet will grow markedly in the next few years, reaching an estimated 37 devices per home. It also won’t be long before Smart Locks will be the norm on new builds in Australia, just as they now are in the US.
