NOTABLE TREND: Continued demand for flexible living spaces, including homes with multiple office spaces, media rooms and expanded indoor-outdoor living. Buyers are prioritizing how their homes function day to day, with greater emphasis on comfort, versatility and time spent at home.

NEXT GEN ADVICE: Be present. Put your phone away and be intentional during meetings and interactions. It helps you stay engaged and ensures you retain important information long after the conversation ends.
