"Before the coronavirus pandemic, homeowners would boast about an in-home sauna, pricey new pavers on the patio, or an enormous flat-screen TV with surround sound installed in the den. Six years later, and homeowners are more than ever seeking listings with one specific feature: the Zoom room. More than just a home office, a Zoom room is a dedicated space in your house where you can easily and comfortably attend videoconference calls with co-workers, help the kids log in for remote schooling,"
"According to the most recent Realtor.com® Home Trends report, 56.5% more listings mentioned a Zoom room in their description, selling at a median price of $514,990. The trend is actually higher in demand than custom built-ins and pickleball courts! "The shift to working from home brought with it a surge of demand for Peloton space, dedicated home offices, and, yes, Zoom rooms that are more than just an Ikea desk and chair," says Cedric Stewart, a real estate agent with Keller Williams Capital Properties."
Homebuyers increasingly value a dedicated Zoom room for videoconferencing, remote schooling, and virtual family check-ins. Listings mentioning Zoom rooms rose 56.5%, with such homes selling at a median price of $514,990. Demand for Zoom rooms outpaces interest in custom built-ins and pickleball courts. A Zoom room can be a full room or a small dedicated area in a foyer, under stairs, or shared living spaces. Designers and agents advise ensuring strong Wi-Fi or an ethernet connection, using signal boosters if needed, and creating an attractive, organized background for professional-looking video calls.
