A Wired Home Is A Marketable Home

With an abundance of inventory on the market today, it is the amenities that can truly make a home stand out in the crowd. While some prospective buyers are looking for hardwood floors and granite countertops, there are just as many looking for strong connectivity for communications. Times have changed a great deal in recent years, lending to more and more people finding their lives enhanced by technology and a 24/7 connection. With communication bridging gaps and creating a smaller world, more people are opting to telecommute, thus the need to be connected to a reliable, cost-effective home network. To assist with the ever-growing demand for efficient connectivity, Verizon has recently launched an incentive program through which agents can earn a $100 gift card each time a new homeowner is referred and connected with Verizon products and services.

According to a survey, HD (High-Definition) television viewing in households across the United States increased by 70% in 2006, and DVR (Digital Video Recorder) usage jumped 42% in 2006. Understanding the different services available to sellers can help you suggest small ways that can make their home increase in desirability. A recent study supports this notion, having shown that even the right network can help increase the value of a home; and that home buyers were willing to spend about 0.8% more for a home with fiber-optic services compared to a non-wired home. With more families venturing into the digital age every day, it seems there is an increased demand for homes that support all the latest technology. To be wired or not wired is no longer the question, but a necessity.
