They are only offering me $150 to make up for this. To me, the pre-wiring was an attractive and valuable part of the home purchase, especially when I decide to sell it. What do you recommend that I do?

Hmm...this is actually quite easy.
Get three quotes on wiring your home for security. Have them official from the security places.
Then put that in front of the contract-writer from your home (or whoever made the $150 offer). Tell them you won't take a dime lesser than that.
If they refuse (and they only would if they're really dumb), simply get a lawyer and let them know what's going on. Hopefully you won't have to go that route because the lawyer won't be free.
Before you talked to a lawyer, I would first make a fake threat that you have a lawyer in the family who has looked over the deal and told you to get a quote and ask for that reimbursement. Maybe they won't eff with you then.

I assume somewhere in the contract for your home it states how much the prewiring was worth. $150.00 sounds really low to me. But i would talk to them and try to get the prewiring done. You can go through the local person, but you can call or write people all the way up the ladder if this is a big company. If you do this, usually the issue will get resolved. Also, i would state to the people you will contact the better business bureau or the news and report this. If you try any of these, you will probably get more money or they will put the wiring in for you

Well how you treat a promise broken in the contract is up to you especially if you relied on it when purchasing the home, however to safeguard the purchase and before I would act on such a broken promise I would get an estimate to do the work from a professional and use that in the negotiations. What worries me is did they do it intentionally or innocently, if intentional I would be worried as to what else you were misled on. If innocently everybody makes mistakes and the information should have been verified by the agent.
Buena Suerte

Bring a security system company out to the property and have the system installed.
Chances are it will be free if you agree to a long term contract, or if it is more that $150, you can negotiate that with the seller.

They broke the contract so you might be able for a sue case but first try to get them to wire it for a security system and to give you a security system

Absolutely right, make them wire it-- it is part of the agreement , but also threaten to take to court if they dont. $150 is a joke.

Have your agent work it out with the other agent. Another route is to take them to court.
