How about a Home Classroom?

Latest ‘Blow Me Away’ Amenity for Buyers? Home Classrooms

Some parents home-schooled their kids even before the pandemic. But after the recent lockdowns, more buyers with kids see it as a golden amenity.

NEW YORK – Despite more school districts returning to in-person learning, the pandemic has many more parents appreciating the importance of organized, stand-alone learning areas for their children.

In addition to repurposing rooms in existing homes, developers and real estate agents are now marketing and staging these spaces to prospective buyers.

“The family’s priorities have changed,” says Fredrik Eklund, an agent with Douglas Elliman in New York. “People want these learning centers.”

According to Realtor.com, listings over $1 million that included a learning space spent a median 45 days on the market in 2021 – 12 days less than homes that didn’t mention a room for teaching. In May, 1,178 homes mentioned terms related to learning spaces, up 58% from the same period last year.

Possible duplicate emails

I am in the process of changing email marketing providers – at least, I think I am – after problems last week. There may be a duplication of providers for a short time which may mean you get two emails from me.
I do apologise and sincerely hope – for your sake and mine – that this will be resolved in the very near future.

Thank you
