The Answer is Really Up to You.

The term “smart homes” is generating a lot of buzz in real estate these days. Research indicates that demand for smart features is growing, and builders and technology companies are working to meet that demand. Here in Jacksonville, for instance, the PARC Group has announced the eTown community, promising “smart-home technology, zero energy ready homes, eco-friendly features” and more.

But just what makes a home smart, exactly? The answer to that question may be as different as the homeowners you ask.
