Fear of new confinement and contained demand intensify home purchase

The contained demand and a greater interest in housing located outside the urban area precipitate the purchase decision of many buyers concerned about the return to confinement in a second wave of the pandemic, according to the latest barometer of the real estate sector developed by Quality Real Estate. The company concludes that the third quarter of the year has remained active in transactions, prices have remained and properties that were not in the urban area have been sold.

Real estate agencies indicate that the third quarter of the year remains marked by the influence of covid-19 on the real estate sector, as well as by an increase in transactions in the months immediately following confinement.

Houses that are characterized by terraces or plots, with greater luminosity and in quieter environments. This type of housing, more common indoors than in coastal areas, usually has common areas such as swimming pool, sports court, playground, etc.
