Nearly Half Of Homebuyers Want Smart Homes

This survey was conducted by Parks Associates on behalf of the Coldwell Banker brand within the United State, June 6 to 9, 2016 through a third party via an online omnibus product. The survey was conducted among 1,250 adults (ages 18 and older) among whom 801 own at least one smart-home product. For the purposes of the survey, “smart-home technology/products” were defined as products or tools that aid in controlling a home’s functions such as lighting, temperature, security, safety, and entertainment, either remotely by a phone, tablet, computer or with a separate automatic system within the home itself. Survey sample was demographically targeted to be representative of the U.S. general population.
