According to Zillow, the use of whole-home batteries has surged by 62% since last year.

In addition to solar power, homes that come with electric car chargers are appearing in 34% more listings than last year.
We use the word “cozy” often, but in 2025, it’ll be more than a word and a phrase — it’ll be a realistic living standard.
