It’s been five years since the COVID-19 pandemic changed the world as we know it. In so many ways, it seems far away and still too close. While some of the changes were temporary – mask mandates, six-foot buffers, and take-out-only restaurants – others stuck. 

Remote work is one such change. While many employers adopted work-from-home flexibility as a matter of necessity, the arrangement proved popular and cost-effective. And so, even now, the statistics about remote work show it has staying power:

• Global remote work increased from 20% in 2020 to 28% by 2023.
• 32% of employees prefer to work entirely remotely.
• 41% prefer a hybrid work setup.
• Over half of U.S. workers would prefer to quit their jobs than return to the office full-time.
• Two-thirds of U.S. employers offer hybrid or remote work flexibility.
• 26% of U.S. households now have at least one person working remotely at least one day per week.
• 75 million U.S. employees have jobs that are compatible with remote work.
• 16% of U.S. companies are now fully remote.

The statistics go on and on! The point is this: remote and hybrid work is here to stay. It makes sense for employees and employers, who both see decreased costs and increased productivity from the approach.

But where does the housing market fit into all of this? And how does the remote work boom continue to shape the real estate market as we know it? 

Many people think they’re above falling for a scam. And while we would all hope that’s
the case, these scammers become increasingly sophisticated. AI tools only make it
more challenging to tell facts from fiction, and we’d best believe they’re using every
avenue to fleece their victims!
