Indy Homes....Where Luxury Meets Innovation.

In the realm of luxury real estate, the winds of change are blowing, and they're ushering in a new era of home buying. For our esteemed clientele of luxe sellers, these shifts in the real estate landscape offer exciting opportunities. 

The way Americans work has changed in recent years and remote work is at the forefront of this shift. Experts say remote working will continue to be popular for years to come and project that 36.2 million Americans will be working remotely by 2025. To give you some perspective, that is a 417% increase compared to the pre-pandemic years when just 7 million workers were remote.

If you’re in the market to buy a home and you work remotely either full or part-time, this trend is a game-changer. It can help you overcome some of today’s affordability and housing inventory challenges. Today, we explore how remote work is not merely a trend but a transformational force influencing how discerning buyers seek their dream homes. 

Redefining Location, Location, Location

Traditionally, the mantra in real estate has been "location, location, location." While location remains paramount, the definition of an ideal location is evolving. Remote work has untethered buyers from the confines of a daily commute, enabling them to cast their nets wider. The coveted dream home might now be nestled in tranquil suburbs, picturesque countryside, or even a dreamy coastal haven.

The Rise of the "Zoom Room"

With remote work becoming the norm, homes are no longer just residences; they're multi-functional sanctuaries. Luxe buyers seek properties with dedicated home offices or spaces that can be transformed into elegant workspaces. A beautifully designed "Zoom Room" with ample natural light is the new luxury.

Priority on Lifestyle Amenities

Buyers are increasingly valuing lifestyle-enhancing amenities over proximity to offices. They're drawn to homes with expansive outdoor spaces, private gardens, and resort-style pools. It's all about creating an oasis for relaxation, recreation, and rejuvenation.

The Pursuit of Space and Serenity

The desire for spacious abodes has gained prominence. Luxe buyers are now looking for estates with sprawling grounds, spacious interiors, and the potential to create bespoke living spaces. With remote work, the home is no longer just a sanctuary; it's a canvas for personal expression.

Access to High-Tech Infrastructure

In the age of remote work, connectivity is king. Buyers seek homes with robust high-speed internet, smart home technology, and integrated security systems. A home that seamlessly blends luxury with technology is the epitome of modern living.

Exploring New Horizons

Remote work offers the freedom to explore new cities, states, or even countries. Luxe buyers are expanding their horizons, exploring regions that align with their lifestyle aspirations. The quest for the perfect dream home knows no geographical bounds.

Patience and Personalization

As remote work reshapes the pace of life, buyers are willing to invest more time in the search for perfection. They seek personalized experiences, tailored recommendations, and a dedicated partner who understands their evolving needs.

How Remote Work Helps with Affordability

Remote or hybrid work allows buyers to change how they approach your home search. Since buyers no longer commute daily, they don't find it essential to live near the office. If a buyer is willing to move a bit further out in the suburbs or rural areas, a pool of more affordable housing options abound. In a recent study, Fannie Mae explains:

“Home affordability may also be a reason why we saw an increase in remote workers’ willingness to relocate or live farther away from their workplace . . .”

If you're thinking about moving, having this kind of location flexibility can boost your chances of finding a home that fits your budget. Work with our team to cast a wider net that includes additional areas with a lower cost of living.

More Work Flexibility Means More Home Options

And buyers broaden their search to include more affordable options, they may also find the opportunity to receive more home features for the money. Given the low supply of homes for sale, finding a home that fits all buyer wants and needs can be challenging.

By broadening home searches, buyers have a bigger pool of housing options to choose from and that makes it easier to find a home that truly fits specialized lifestyles. This could include homes with more square footage, diverse home styles, and a wider range of neighborhood amenities that were previously out of reach.

Historically, living close to work was a sought-after perk, often coming with a hefty price tag. But now, the dynamics have changed. If you work from home, you have the freedom to choose where you want to live without the burden of long daily commutes. This shift allows you to focus more on finding a home that is affordable and delivers on your dream home features.
