Amongst a chaotic year, we as a society transitioned into a new type of world. Collectively, we all began to practice tasks digitally more than we have ever seen before. Virtually, we now have the opportunity to work, attend school, shop and even obtain doctor consultations, from the privacy of our own home. Working remotely and online shopping has been steadily increasing and is now a common occurrence that has been normalized in everyday life. The new digital trends are steadily advancing the virtual homebuying experience.

This year, we have witnessed an increase in buyers utilizing the internet to find a home. Some purchasers have even gone to extreme lengths of buying a home without ever stepping foot inside of it. With the pandemic striking this year, we have seen virtual home buying reach an all time high. The NAR has even reported, “one in every 20 homebuyers purchased a house sight-unseen.” With the help of your trusted real estate agent, you have the opportunity to find your dream home with enhanced digital practices.
