At CES 2025 in Las Vegas, a variety of smart home technologies were unveiled, drawing significant attention. The biggest trend this year was the integration of AI into smart appliances. Brands like Samsung and Hisense showcased products incorporating cutting-edge technology, signaling the arrival of a time when appliances such as washing machines, refrigerators, ovens, and even robot vacuums can be interacted with through AI.
Are Smart Homes a Desired Feature for Homebuyers?
In the real estate market, smart homes are increasingly becoming an important factor.• In the 2024 U.S. real estate market, the percentage of listings that included "smart home" features rose to 1.6%, a 0.6% increase from 2021.• New construction homes often come with the latest appliances and smart technologies as standard. However, energy efficiency is just as important as AI features.
In 2025, the top smart features that homebuyers are looking for include:✔️ AI security cameras & smart door locks✔️ Smart thermostats (for energy savings)✔️ Solar panels & electric vehicle chargers✔️ AI-powered smart lighting systems
Do Smart Home Technologies Help Increase Property Value?
While AI appliances and smart home features can differentiate a property, the return on investment (ROI) is not guaranteed.Typically, the basic cost of installing smart home features ranges from $2,000 to $4,000, and studies suggest that smart features can increase home value by up to 5%. However, the impact might not be as significant as more traditional upgrades, like a kitchen remodel or bathroom renovation. Smart home features can vary in value depending on the market, and in some areas or price ranges, they may have little to no impact.
Should AI Appliances Be Sold with the House?
When purchasing smart appliances, homeowners may wonder whether to include them when selling the property.• Fixed smart appliances (e.g., refrigerators, smart ovens) are generally considered part of the home and should be left behind. If you intend to take them, make sure to clearly specify that in the listing.
Do AI Smart Homes Have Long-Term Investment Value?
As AI appliances and smart technologies rapidly evolve, the value of smart homes is becoming increasingly significant. However, not all AI technologies will directly translate into increased property values. When purchasing a home, it's essential to consider both practicality and the long-term investment potential. If you have further questions, it's advised to consult with a local expert.
