For most people, buying a house is the most important investment they’ll ever make, which is why the process is a little bit long and complicated. Buyers take an average of 4.3 months to search for their new home, while millennials take just under four months, and silent generation buyers take 5.6 months. This process is beginning to change, however, with the introduction of smart technologies. While we know and understand just how smart technology is infiltrating our homes and everyday lives, it’s important to understand how it is impacting the home buying process.
