Remote work turned dining tables into desks and spare bedrooms into offices. Now buyers arrive with new must‑haves. Here are the trends we see daily and how they may guide your next move. A separate room with a door—and good natural light—ranks high. Even a finished attic or “cloffice” (closet‑office) can seal the deal for remote workers. Without a daily drive, many people trade city centers for suburbs or nearby towns, gaining more yards or lower prices. Occasional office visits keep airport or highway access important, just less urgent. Buyers ask for actual speed‑test results and check provider options before touring. Sellers boost value by listing verified upload and download numbers. Rooms that flex between gym, playroom, and Zoom studio rise in demand. Simple upgrades like pocket doors or extra outlets show versatility. A small balcony or shaded patio gives workers a quick mental reset. Staging these areas with a café table and chair helps buyers picture their own coffee breaks. All‑day heating or cooling adds up. Double‑pane windows, smart thermostats, and fresh insulation now sway decisions as much as new appliances. When commuting drops, nearby trails, coffee shops and parks become daily perks. A quick map of local hot spots in your listing can make a lasting impression. The work‑from‑home shift is here to stay, and house‑hunting priorities have evolved with it.
