Smart Home Features Without the Luxury Price Tag

Smart homes used to be a luxury upgrade—something you’d only see in custom builds or million-dollar listings. But not anymore.

Today’s most forward-thinking builders are including smart home features as standard, even in affordable price ranges—and that’s a game changer for buyers.

What’s Included?

In many of the new builds we show, buyers are surprised to learn that smart features are already built in, including:

Video doorbells

Smart thermostats

Keyless entry systems

Smart lighting

App-based home automation

That means you can control security, comfort, and energy usage from your phone—without paying extra.

What It Means for You

Smart home tech isn’t just about convenience. It can also lead to:

Energy savings with programmable thermostats

Improved safety with camera systems and remote locking

Better resale appeal, especially with younger buyers down the road

You’re not just buying a home—you’re buying peace of mind and long-term value.

The Best Part? It’s Built Into the Price

Unlike custom builders who upsell every add-on, this builder includes smart home tech as part of the base package—so you’re not nickel-and-dimed just to feel modern.
