Even as some companies transition back into the office, remote work remains a popular choice for many professionals. So, if you currently enjoy working from home or hope to be able to soon, you are not alone. According to a recent survey, most working professionals want to work either fully remote or hybrid.
This trend is good news if you’re looking to buy a home because a remote or hybrid work setup can help you overcome some of today’s affordability and housing inventory challenges.
More Work Flexibility Equals More Home Options
Remote or hybrid work opens up a world of opportunities. That’s because it allows you to broaden your search for your next home since you’re no longer limited to living close to your workplace. With the freedom to work from anywhere, you can explore more affordable areas. The flexibility can be a game changer while higher mortgage rates are making it difficult for some homebuyers to purchase.
And, since the supply of homes for sale is still so low, another key challenge for you today may be finding what you want. Because remote work allows you to broaden your search radius, you may have less trouble finding a home with the features you want. You will have a bigger pool of options to pick from.
Bottom Line
Working remotely not only gives you more flexibility in your job but also presents a great chance to broaden your search for a home. Let’s get together to discuss your options.
