Kitchens remain one of the top selling points of any Westfield area home. When you incorporate high tech features with high end appliances, Westfield Buyers take notice. One trending feature is a “no touch” faucet. Keep bacteria at a minimum. Another big seller at the moment involves smart refrigerators. LG and Samsung both feature models with Wi-Fi for all your mobile devices, a built-in screen to write notes on and interior cameras that alert you when you are running low on different items. A bluetooth thermometer, such as iDevices’ Kitchen Thermometer Mini, sends an alert to your phone or smart watch when your food is done. Never burn another dish again because you were busy entertaining guests, helping kids with homework or completing any other task.
Your Security System
High end Westfield Buyers want smart homes. This includes the security system. Wireless cameras keep track of everything happening both inside and outside of your home. Access any camera at any time from your mobile device no matter where you are in the world. Not only can you keep an eye on your home, but you can also hear what’s going on around it as well. Some allow you to answer the doorbell when you’re not even home via a visual intercom system.
Your Thermostat
Another high tech enhancement for your home involves the thermostat. High end thermostats can be controlled via your smartphone. While you’re still at work or running around, tell your home which rooms you want to warm up or cool down. Your home can get ready to receive guests while you are still out and about. Add a smart thermostat to your vacation home to ensure it is the proper temperature before you arrive.
