The real estate market<\/strong>  changed significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic<\/strong> , a little like so many others. This period had a particular effect on the premium<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong> segment<\/strong> , giving rise to a complete paradigm shift in the search for property<\/strong> . Thus, the pandemic situation inevitably forced buyers<\/strong> to redefine housing needs<\/strong>  and priorities .<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discover some of the reasons that justified the change in behavior of potential investors<\/strong>  and also how the Portuguese began to view some characteristics associated with real estate<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The transformation of society’s lifestyles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new coronavirus<\/strong>  has caused a profound transformation in the lifestyles<\/strong>  of the world’s population. In the national context, the state of emergency and the calamity situation were decreed and extended successively. As a consequence, pandemic mitigation and prevention measures were adopted that significantly limited freedom and the performance of routine actions in society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the luxury real estate market<\/strong>  remained very active, providing solutions for the well-being<\/strong> , comfort<\/strong>  and leisure<\/strong> demands  that became more acute with the upward evolution of the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Home as a multifaceted space<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The term home<\/strong>  has undoubtedly acquired a new meaning in the wake of COVID-19. In the period before the appearance of the new coronavirus, the home<\/strong>  was largely intended for rest at the end of the day. There was, therefore, a set of daily activities carried out outside the place of residence, such as work<\/strong> , school<\/strong>  and leisure<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, as a result of the constraints imposed by the pandemic, the cohabitation<\/strong> experience  has undergone a true revolution. Looking for a solution, the Portuguese had to diagnose the configuration<\/strong>  of their homes<\/strong>  and assess the need for deep or superficial adjustments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the luxury real estate market<\/a> , the demand for valued outdoor spaces<\/strong>  with generous areas has intensified, as would be expected. Terraces , gyms<\/strong>  and swimming pools<\/strong>  have gained enormous popularity among the desires of buyers of this type of property .<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The massification of teleworking<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Teleworking spread at an impressive speed<\/strong>  nationwide. Its mass expansion<\/strong>  encouraged the acquisition of large properties, with a space specially reserved for the same purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This measure, which covered several sectors of activity, also redefined the perception of the employer<\/strong>  and its employees<\/strong>  regarding the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oscillating between mandatory and recommended, teleworking remains in vogue. It is expected that it will continue to be an increasingly common reality over the next few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strong investment in more peripheral areas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As daily trips to schools and workplaces were not essential, there was a focus on housing located in more peripheral areas. Unlike urban centers, the fact that the cost of purchasing a luxury property in the suburbs is much more attractive has largely contributed to the expansion of this trend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A real feeling of security<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The number of hours we spent at home never reached the level of current days. Therefore, there was a growing desire within the real estate market to acquire properties equipped with a diverse range of amenities<\/strong> .<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this way, and given the volatility of the pandemic situation, it becomes possible to enjoy pleasant indoor and outdoor spaces. All this with family and safety<\/strong> , avoiding unnecessary travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
