Why Remote Work Changed Real Estate Buyer Priorities

Flexible working has reshaped what people need from a home. Spaces that once felt optional are now deal-breakers.

A real place to work

A spare bedroom or study with a door, good light and reliable connectivity is now high on most family buyers' lists.

Space over proximity

With fewer daily commutes, many buyers are choosing larger homes in quieter communities over smaller units in the centre.

Amenities on the doorstep

• Parks and walking trails
• Community gyms and pools
• Cafés and retail within walking distance

For sellers, staging a room as a home office can broaden appeal. For buyers, think about how your working pattern may change over the next five years.
