Local considerations

Rapid new construction across the metro makes prewire — Cat6 to every room plus ceiling access-point drops — one of the most valuable upgrades.
Many households work from home in tech roles and want wired desks and a small rack rather than consumer mesh.
Texas attic heat affects where switches and recorders can live, so a conditioned closet is preferred.

Common home types here: New construction, Two-story suburban, Home offices.

How much does PoE or low-voltage lighting cost in a home?
