Trends in Housing For 2008 – Home Office Leads the List.

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

HomeofficeThe things homeowners want vary from year to year,  but according to the JELD-WEN Real Estate Community Trends survey, having a home office is a no brainer. While many of homes will convert a formal living room or extra bedroom for the home office, having one designated as such in a quieter part of the home is something that homeowners are telling their agents they have to have.

More results from the JELD-WEN Survey:

93% of agents said they’ve had buyers who were interested in having a room specifically for use as a home office
44% of agents said they’ve had clients who wanted home theaters in their new home
26% said clients have wanted an exercise room
18% said clients have wanted an arts and crafts room
8% said clients have wanted a music studio

  1. I would have to agree. I think this trend started long before 2008. It is a lot easier to get extra work done if you have a comfortable place to do it.

  2. I agree with Paul this trend is started long before 2008 but this is not the exact that will be modified a lot and is this.

  3. I will agree -When I was looking for the home I live in that was a requirement-having a home office

  4. I agree. I think having an office in your house is a lot easier then going to the office where there are constant distractions.

  5. Thank you so much for this excellent information. I have used your website often and have told everyone I meet who uses motorways and is unhappy with the services.
