A new analysis from Realtor.com reveals that the total number of guest bedrooms in America and the share of homes with guest bedrooms are at record highs. Last year, the total number of extra bedrooms reached 31.9 million, up from 31.3 million the year prior. The study found that the increase is driven by both an increase in the number of bedrooms per home and a decline in the number of persons per household.
