15.12.2020 Home Improvement by Somfy Team How to Prepare for Selling Your Home Selling your home can be stressful but by making small improvements you'll increase the resale value. Contact Somfy about adding home automation. When it comes time to sell your home there are some things you can do to increase its appeal and make it stand out from the crowd. There are the obvious things like painting and cleaning up the yard, perhaps laying new carpet, but one of the most cost-effective things you can do to add value and that elusive 'wow' factor is home automation. If you look at it from a buyer's perspective, what's more impressive than walking into a home and seeing your automated lights come on, hearing ambient music or watching the blinds or curtains open by themselves? Done For You Everyone seems to have too much to do these days. We're time-poor but cash-rich, and we have money to spend on things that will give us more time. People want to buy a home and move right in without the inconvenience of having to set everything up. Your potential buyers might not even realise they need home automation, until they see how yours works. If nothing else, your automated home will leave a lasting impression, but it'll also guarantee your home sells faster for a better price if you do it right. Automated Heating and Cooling Most homes in Australia use heating and cooling in winter and summer, and some need year-round climate control. Having an automated system that keeps the home comfortable, especially one that can be controlled remotely, is a big drawcard and will add considerable value and interest when it comes time to sell. Automated Security System Another area that'll draw interest is an automated security system, especially in certain areas. We're all concerned about security these days, with good reason, so buying a home with a fully automated security system with all the bells and whistles is an attractive idea. Window Coverings There's nothing quite like automated window coverings to impress a potential home buyer. Opening and closing blinds and curtains numerous times a day can become a real chore so the option of doing it with the touch of a button, voice control and even remotely is very appealing indeed. Automated Sprinklers A beautiful house with a beautiful garden is most people's idea of a dream home, but who has time to keep the garden watered? An automated watering system not only does it all for you, it saves water as well, and you can just set and forget and still have a garden that's the envy of the neighbourhood.
