With remote work, where you live can be your decision instead of your employer's. And that puts more affordable places within reach.

While cash sales are declining nationally, some markets are still seeing gains. Pittsburgh, Austin, Texas, and San Francisco all saw a rise in the share of cash transactions compared with a year ago. This wasn’t just because of fewer total sales. It was because the actual number of cash purchases increased.

Your multi-generational-friendly, or simply larger-than-average, house might meet criteria a lot of buyers can't find in a standard one. That's what gets attention. And offers.

That spare room on the main floor. The finished basement with a kitchenette and its own entrance. The bonus room you've been using for storage. To you, it's extra space. But to a growing pool of buyers, it's the reason they'd pick your house.
