Trends in real estate during post-COVID-19

Workspace industry

The current COVID-19 pandemic has forced millions of employees to work from home. The work from home trend will continue further and adoption for tools helping in it will experience exponential growth. In addition to the normal rooms, the developers are expected to come up with home offices that have the required digital connectivity (as social distancing is the new norm to follow). 

Six feet office

According to the new guidelines announced by the Government concerning the commercial sector, the offices need to ensure that no employee is closer than six feet from one another. Keeping these guidelines in mind, our future offices are likely to be structured in a manner so that the workstations are placed six feet apart from each other.

Preference for independent/individual houses

With Covid-19 a majority of respondents are favoring risk-free investments like real estate. As physical assets render the highest sense of security especially during exigencies such as Covid-19 or when stock markets plummet to new lows and financial markets witness turmoil. In the future, individual houses, preferably with a balcony or a terrace, are expected to gain prominence. More than an escape from the urban routine chaos, independent houses tend to offer a retreat from viruses and infection. Thus, in a scenario, where it is necessary to reduce contact with everything, the coming years would witness an increased fondness for low-rise buildings or independent residences. 

Closed plan layout may gain prominence

Similarly, instead of open plans that have been the primary trend in the interiors since the last few years, the developers would rather opt for a closed scheme with enough space for separate activities shortly. A closed layout makes the area much more functional and separates the entire house into distinct private areas. In addition to this, the upcoming residential spaces might witness the creation of a compulsory separate entrance where you can remove your shoes without bringing them inside the premises.

• Keeping in mind the need for maintaining cleanliness (more than before times) the developers of smart homes may also provide no-touch faucets for the ease of the residents. 

In conclusion

Thus, recognizing some of the trends mentioned above and taking timely action will help individuals and real estate domains gain an advantage in this world of disruption.
