Does Your House Have What Buyers Want?

The rise in remote work is changing what many Americans want in their homes. Many companies are choosing to delay reopening or go remote full-time, and today’s buyers are looking for homes with more space to support their work needs. As a seller, if you no longer need the extra room you have in your home, rest assured there are buyers who do.

More remote work means a greater need for home offices. That’s leading today’s buyers to prioritize finding homes with more space so they can comfortably work from home. The 2021 Home Design Trends Survey from the American Institute of Architects finds that 69% of surveyed individuals still want at least one office at home. However, it also shows that more people are looking for multiple spaces in their home for remote work and virtual meetings.

If your house has extra space that you no longer need, buyers are interested, and now may be the perfect time to sell. I can help you highlight many of the most sought-after features in your listing, including home offices. On the other hand, if you have an extra room without a purpose, consider staging it as an area where remote work can happen. I can help you with this as well by evaluating and preparing your space for potential buyers. I’ll make recommendations for how to stage the room, where to draw the eye, and what other sellers are doing to make their houses stand out.

With the continued rise in remote work, more buyers are looking for homes that can support multiple home offices. If you have extra room you’re no longer using, consider selling. DM me today to discuss the unique features in your house and how you can capitalize on any extra space to appeal to today’s buyers.
