Buyers are facing many challenges in today’s hot seller’s market, the largest being lack of inventory. However, if you are a prospective homebuyer who happens to work remotely, you are at an advantage when seeking a new residence.
A report by Arch Capital Services elaborates on how working from home creates opportunities for buyers:
“…This will enable those who are able to work from home on a part-time or hybrid basis to move slightly farther away from job centers…For workers who secure full-time remote jobs, their place of residence will be determined by affordability and personal preferences.”
Simply put, if your job is fully remote, you are no longer tied to a specific geographic location. This means you have the option to seek homes in areas that have more inventory or are more affordable. You can now consider moving closer to somewhere you’ve always wanted to live, like towns near the beach or mountains — or even in different states.
