Latest Hits: Smart-Home Tech Can Help Achieve ‘Toothbrush-Ready’ Status

The concept of a 'toothbrush-ready' home is gaining traction in the real estate market. This term refers to homes that are completely move-in ready, requiring new homeowners to bring only their toothbrushes. While aesthetic appeal remains important, there's a growing emphasis on livability and functionality, driven by smart-home technology. Modern homebuyers are looking for comprehensive smart-home automation that integrates lighting, climate control, security, and window treatments. This shift means that architects and builders must prioritize infrastructure that supports these technologies, such as adequate wiring and motorized systems. The goal is to create homes that not only look good but also enhance the daily lives of their inhabitants through seamless automation and smart features. Jeff Halloran, VP of Operations at BRAVAS, highlights that this approach not only meets current demands but also future-proofs properties, making them more appealing to tech-savvy buyers.
