How Remote Work Expands Your Homebuying Horizons
Even as some companies transition back into the office, remote work remains a popular choice for many professionals. Whether you currently enjoy working from home or hope to do so soon, you're not alone. A recent survey indicates that most working professionals prefer to work either fully remote or in a hybrid setup.
This trend brings good news for homebuyers because a remote or hybrid work arrangement can help 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 when it comes to homebuying. With the freedom to work from anywhere, you're no longer limited to living close to your workplace. This means you can explore more affordable areas that might be located farther away from bustling city centers or your office.
The New York Times (NYT) highlights how remote work can greatly assist you in overcoming the affordability challenge:
“. . . take advantage of the opportunity remote work has presented to move to more affordable communities (either farther out in the suburbs, or in another part of the country).”
Furthermore, with the supply of homes for sale still relatively low, finding a home with all the features you desire can be challenging. However, remote work allows you to broaden your search radius, giving you access to additional areas. This expanded pool of options increases your chances of finding a home with the features you want the most.
Working remotely gives you the flexibility to find an affordable home with the features you desire, without exceeding your budget.
In Summary
Embracing remote work not only provides job flexibility but also presents a fantastic opportunity to broaden your search for a home. The ability to explore more options due to location independence allows you to overcome affordability and inventory challenges.
