Aging in Place Strategy
The LIMELIGHT Initiative (Living Independently & Managing Environments with Lifestyle Innovation, Guidance, Home Integration, and Technology) is a federally supported framework that aligns with Canada’s national priorities for healthy aging and community-based care. Designed to advance Aging in Place goals, the initiative integrates innovation, standards, and best practices into home and community settings. By leveraging technology, evidence-based health supports, and cross-sector partnerships, LIMELIGHT seeks to reduce reliance on institutional care, lower health system costs, and increase the number of older Canadians who are able to live safely, independently, and with dignity in their homes and communities of choice by 2031.
Increased Property Value
Smart home upgrades can raise a home’s resale value by 3–5%, or approximately $15,000–$25,000 on a $500,000 property (House Digest, The CE Shop).
A 2025 study by Vivint found that 28% of buyers are willing to pay an average premium of $18,056 for homes with smart home features.
High-ROI Smart Features
Top-performing upgrades include smart thermostats, motorized shading, water leak detection, and automated lighting.
These features are recognized by Angi, Forbes Home, and Zillow as offering strong returns through improved efficiency and buyer appeal.
Operational & Insurance Savings
Smart energy systems and leak prevention tools can reduce annual costs by up to $700 per home.
In multi-unit buildings, savings multiply, enhancing NOI for developers.
Through PREVCAN and BFL Flowguard, Limelight-enabled systems may also qualify for insurance discounts at both the unit and building level.
Resale Value Increase: According to sources such as House Digest and The CE Shop, smart home upgrades can raise a home’s value by 3–5%, translating to $15,000–$25,000 on a $500,000 home.
Buyer Demand: A 2025 study by Vivint found that 28% of buyers are willing to pay more for smart homes—averaging an additional $18,056. This aligns more closely with the reported resale value increases and suggests substantial buyer motivation.
Top Performing Upgrades: Smart thermostats, automated shading, leak detection, and lighting controls are consistently identified as high-ROI features (per Angi, Forbes Home, and Zillow).
Operational Benefits: Developers and landlords benefit from reduced maintenance costs, enhanced energy efficiency, and stronger insurance alignment through programs like PREVCAN and BFL Flowguard.
A full Limelight smart home package not only delivers enhanced comfort and control but also supports up to a 5% increase in property value, higher buyer interest, long-term operational savings, and insurance benefits—making it a strong investment in both new developments and retrofits.
