What Matters Most to Middle-Income Home Buyers? Security!

CE Pro Magazine, the leading trade publication for professionals in the custom electronic business came out with a study detailing what matters most to middle-income home buyers.

Data from a recent report says that the high-end home market is driven by audio and video control features. But the middle-income market was more interested in security-related features.

According to this data, the most sought-after smart home devices to connect to a phone are:

  1. Smoke/Water/Gas leak detectors
  2. Motion/Door/Window sensors
  3. Appliances
  4. Lights
  5. Stove/Oven
  6. Thermostat
  7. Panic Button
  8. Security Cameras
  9. Door Locks 
The two most popular features for the middle-income home buyer is the smoke/water/gas leak detectors, about 50% of those surveyed, while 33% say door locks appeal to them the most.

The SABRE Home Series is full of products to appeal to this type of consumer. There are no costly monthly monitoring fees, and because each product is DIY, there are no installation costs either. 

Per this data, SABRE has several products that would give peace of mind to home owners, people looking to sell their home, or realtor's needing to offer suggestions:

  1. Water Leakage Alarm
  2. Panic Alarm
  3. Motion Sensing Alarms
  4. Door, Window, or Glass Alarms 
These standalone alarms sound at 120 dB and can be heard up to 300 feet away - the length of a football field! They'll alert anyone at home, the neighbors, and most importantly the intruder someone is trying to get inside your home that shouldn't be.
