Can a Home Security System Increase Your Home’s Resale Value?

Home-Security-Resale

Many homeowners are constantly searching for ways to improve their home. While many of these are cosmetic, there are other ways to better your home and its value that aren’t strictly aesthetic. One worthwhile investment is a home security system. A home security system can not only save you money but can also increase the value of your home.

 Insurance Discounts

Insurance is a necessity that homeowners spend money on every year. Most everyone could benefit from an insurance discount and there are several ways in which you can save money on your insurance premium. Any efforts to keep your home safer and prevent a homeowner’s claim being made will save you money on your insurance policy, and the biggest discount comes with 24/7 alarm monitoring connected to your home security. Homes with this kind of protection are least likely to be burglarized, hence less claims being made.

Also, since the average loss of a home theft is around $3000, preventative measures like installing a home security system can save you money as well. Since a home security system serves as an immense deterrent against burglaries, these systems greatly reduce the odds if becoming a victim of a home invasion.

 Resale Value

Installing a home security system can help make your neighborhood safer. Often, neighbors follow suit, increasing value by keeping the surrounding areas safe and free from crime.

Additionally, when homebuyers are looking for crime deterrent protection, it is because they travel out of town often or are looking to start a family. These homebuyers will look for home security items like security cameras and motion sensing lights for defense against break-ins and burglaries. Items like these in turn increase the resale value of your home.

Peace of Mind & Convenience

Home security can really settle nerves when it comes to not only being away from home, but also relaxing in your own home too. There is nothing better than having peace of mind when it comes to the safety of your home. Now, it is more convenient than ever to obtain that peace of mind. Smart home devices not only provide security but can also monitor the environment in your home and can prevent issues from arising, again saving you money by avoiding having to make any types of homeowner’s insurance claims. Adding these features also increases your home’s worth by adding that extra layer of protection and convenience.

The best part about home automation is that it is customizable. So even if you don’t plan on living in your home forever, the next owners will be able to customize their home security system to their liking. Again, a win-win situation for everyone!

Conclusion

There are many ways that a home security system can increase your home’s value. In addition to increasing the worth of your home, a home security system can provide you with convenience and peace of mind as well.
