Remote Work and the Future of Housing
Remote work is here to stay. In Portugal, more than 20% of workers already work from home, and the demand for houses and apartments adapted to this new reality is growing rapidly.
Those who work remotely look for properties that offer:
- Dedicated office spaces or multi-functional rooms
- Good natural lighting and sound insulation
- Balconies, terraces, and outdoor areas
- Reliable high-speed internet
Lisbon and Porto are at the forefront of this transformation, with smart neighborhoods, convenient access to services, and proximity to coworking spaces and flexible offices. This combination of comfort, flexibility, and location is redefining the real estate market.
Worldwide, remote work is transforming residential preferences. Cities in Europe, North America, and Asia are experiencing a growing demand for homes with dedicated workspaces, reliable connectivity, and flexible layouts. This trend is influencing urban planning, real estate investment, and lifestyle choices worldwide.
For buyers or renters, properties designed for remote work mean higher quality of life and productivity. For investors, they represent an opportunity to offer modern solutions adapted to the needs of the future.
The home has ceased to be just a dwelling it has also become your ideal office.
