The pandemic has changed the way we live and there is no doubt that what buyers are looking for in a home has changed. As people adapt to this new way of living they are reconsidering what they are looking for in their future home. Potential home buyers have a whole new list of priorities.
This is what we’ve heard from buyers...
- Flexible layouts to accommodate multiple home offices, exercise space, and a need for privacy. Reimagining floor plans is a new art. Traditional homes with less open concept spaces suddenly seem more attractive.
- There is a premium on outdoor space. Not only is this now much-needed extra living space with everyone home, but it also gives us the opportunity to socialize safely without bringing guests into our homes.
- Accommodating a home office has never been more important. Whether it’s a nook in the kitchen or part of a bedroom space with the hopes of having an uninterrupted Zoom meeting. A former guest bedroom is the new home office.
- With everyone home, a need for privacy is essential. A bedroom space that is large enough to become a part-time home office or gym, maybe just a reading nook for a little me time definitely adds bonus points when house hunting.
Life after COVID is going will take some time to recover from, for many people a new home is a way to adapt to this new way of life.
