>okay but can't they get that from your address and correlating that with satellite images and/or zip code data?

That tells someone that you can afford to live in that zip code, but it doesn't tell them what you can afford to put in your home. Smart home devices, theoretically, "solve" that "problem".

At least where I live, I can go to an official government website and see exactly what someone’s home is valued at and how much they pay in property taxes just by searching their name and address.
