How Working Remotely Can Help with Your House Hunt
How Working Remotely Can Help with Your House Hunt
Hey, it's Raegan Thorp here with the Raegan Thorp Real Estate Group! This week, we're diving into a trend that's reshaping the home-buying process: remote work. With more and more Americans working from home, it's opening up new and exciting options for buyers in their home search. Let’s talk about how remote work might just change your idea of the perfect home.
1. The Rise of Remote Work
Did you know that 27% of Americans are now working remotely? This shift, accelerated by COVID, has led buyers to rethink their priorities in a home. Now, more people are searching for homes that have space for work, whether that's an extra bedroom, a cozy nook, or even a sunroom.
2. Prioritize a Home Office
If you're working from home, a dedicated office space can make a huge difference. This could mean looking for a bigger home with that extra room, or maybe a place with a built-in nook that’s just right for an office setup. Recently, I helped a client move from New Jersey to Smyrna, Georgia, where she’ll be working remotely for her company. Remote work means you can search for homes further from the office—imagine finding a place with more space or in a location you’ve always dreamed of!
3. Expand Your Search Radius
Working remotely also gives you the freedom to look at homes in cities or towns that might have been too far for a daily commute. This can mean more house for your money and more options. Think about it: the farther out you look, the more likely you are to find a home with a dedicated office space and extra amenities for a price that fits your budget.
4. Lower Your Living Costs
Remote work doesn't just save you time by eliminating the commute; it also helps you save money. Moving to an area with a lower cost of living can cut down on daily expenses, freeing up your budget to go toward other goals. And without a commute, the savings on gas and transportation alone are worth it.
If you're looking to explore options for a home with dedicated office space or just want to learn more about what this new trend could mean for your search, reach out! We're here to make the process smooth and exciting for you!
