Here in suburban Seattle large houses are hot, because people want Zoom rooms and someplace to walk during lockdowns.

So people expect these pandemic conditions to just be the norm for so much longer than they are buying/designing houses around it?

Yes, to oversimplify. Many do not expect a return to the daily commute.

That seems to be more of a common theme in Seattle. From my experience there mostly are apartments with the occasional small home near the sea side. I can’t imagine what a large house goes for over there.
