Selling a smart home? 🏡🔐 There’s more to think about than just handing over the keys.

As smart locks, video doorbells, security cameras, and connected devices become more common, they’re adding a few new questions to the home buying and selling process.

What stays with the house? What goes with the seller? And who has access to those devices after closing?

From outlining what’s included in the sale to transferring accounts and understanding recording laws during showings, a little preparation can prevent some big surprises.

**Whether you’re buying or selling, knowing what comes with the home is just as important as knowing what doesn’t.**

So, what does this mean for buyers and sellers navigating today’s market?

We’re breaking down the latest numbers, what they tell us about the housing market, and what Boston buyers and sellers should keep in mind heading into the final months of 2026.
