How does remote work continue to shape housing markets?
The rise of remote work has had a transformative impact on housing markets across the U.S. Many workers, no longer tied to specific locations by their jobs, are flocking to more affordable regions with desirable living conditions. Suburban and rural areas have seen a surge in demand as people look for larger homes and more space, while urban areas have seen some declines in demand. This trend has made housing markets in smaller cities and towns more competitive, with increased prices and lower inventory. As remote work continues to be a permanent fixture for many, it will continue to shape housing demand, especially in locations with a high quality of life and lower living costs.
