Remote workers head for the hills and slopes

Remote workers head for the hills and slopes

The rise of remote working continues across the US today, even though many companies are now calling their workers back to the office.

As an experienced agent, I see how the work-from-home movement continues to transform the real estate scene. 

Buyers continue to prioritize properties that have suitable space for a home office, and they have become absolutely laser-focused on connectivity. 

One of the trends is young buyers seeking to use remote working to enhance their work/life balance. There's no shortage of these buyers shifting their focus away from expensive cities on the coast and heading for the hills and mountains.

Colder climates, once considered less appealing, are now attracting remote workers seeking outdoor recreational opportunities, access to nature and a change of pace from urban living. 

Mountain towns, ski resorts, and lakeside communities are experiencing a surge in popularity as remote workers seek homes that offer both a comfortable workspace and access to winter activities.

Spacious layouts that accommodate both work and family life are increasingly sought after, as are features that enhance well-being, such as outdoor spaces, cozy fireplaces, and access to nature. 

Furthermore, the desire for community and connection is prompting many remote workers to seek out locations with vibrant social scenes, cultural attractions and a strong sense of place.

The shift to remote work has ushered in a new era for winter real estate, blurring traditional seasonal boundaries and redefining buyer preferences. 

As remote work continues to evolve, its impact on real estate trends will likely persist, shaping the future of how and where we choose to live.
