. You’ve heard burglars “case” a particular neighborhood, driving up and down streets examining each house for its security weaknesses, right? No? Well, perhaps it’s time to wake up. “Home might be where the heart is, but it’s where your precious valuables are, too. And thieves know it all too well,” says Realtor’s Larissa Runkle. “That simple fact makes every home a potential target for a burglary.” She says that according to the FBI’s latest reports on crime data, more than $463 billion worth of goods are stolen from residences each year, with more than 847,522 burglaries reported in 2022 alone. It adds up to roughly one burglary in America every 22.6 seconds. Sure. Break-ins can happen in any neighborhood. But there are several steps you can take to protect your family and belongings from the dangers of a home invasion. Runkle spoke to real estate and security experts to get the lowdown on what thieves look for when deciding whether to hit your house. The first is determining if you have an alarm system. Did you know that a whopping 75% of American homes don’t have a security system—and that burglars are 300% more likely to target these properties? “It’s not just about electronic alarms,” says Rental Real Estate CEO Ryan Nelson. “In my early days, one of my rental properties was almost robbed. I learned quickly that even a dog can deter potential intruders. Later on, I invested in a comprehensive alarm system for that property, and the difference was like night and day.” Reach out for more!
