How COVID-19 Will Shape the Real Estate Development of the Future

Life as we know it will change in many ways due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but one change that many people are not focused on is how this will affect the future of real estate development. In the matter of months, the wants and needs of real estate buyers have taken a sudden shift. What once seemed important and practical to buyers has now changed to adapt to our new normal.

What Will the Future of Real Estate Development Hold?

According to Forbes, the real estate development buzzwords are quickly morphing into new words like “privacy, virtual, distanced, and mine.” There has been a universal agreement amongst real estate developers that health and wellness will now be at the top of buyers’ wish lists. This may include things like air purification, aromatherapy, cleaning protocols, etc. as a necessity for all buyers instead of those only with compromised immune systems or other special needs.

However, there are others who believe that it may been unwise to overcorrect and completely re-evaluate the real estate market for needs that may only last three to twelve months. It is wise to focus on the trends that are certain and not just those resulting from the coronavirus. If a vaccine is found, the real estate development world could move in an entirely different direction. Ultimately, it is important to always stay up to date on the latest trends in the real estate world and adapt accordingly, but maybe not too quickly.
