The Covid situation has undoubtedly underlined the need for a house with a garden. This is because such a space represents an escape zone. Where you can disconnect from the rest of the world. After explaining in previous guides how to organize a terrace or garden to make us feel at our best, today we have something new. We will try to understand how, after the Covid emergency, having a house with a garden has become an essential element. Especially when it comes to rentals. So, if you are ready to receive these updates, we can get started!
In order to be able to analyze what is the trend of the real estate market in terms of rented houses with garden, we have relied on statistical data. Well, at a global level, rental contracts for properties with a large garden have increased by 70 %. But that is not all. There is also an increase in demand for purchase and sale contracts for independent properties and penthouses. In short, there is growing interest, determined by an obvious need. That of looking for a new dimension within one’s own home. Investors are more oriented towards smaller properties but with a garden area, compared to larger houses but without an outdoor area.
Also increased the desire for more privacy. So, you opt for more distant houses. And the garden can be a valuable ally in this case. It goes without saying that penthouses also play a decisive role here. But it all tends to depend on the financial resources of the investors themselves. In addition, because of smart working, which has remained even in the post lockdown, many have felt the need to work remotely but without giving up greenery. Here is another motivation, therefore, to fully enjoy an indoor garden.
Tourism has also been strongly influenced by the greenest real estate ever. Many vacationers, eager to visit an alternative place, make sure to stay during their stay in a house with garden. Who doesn’t love the classic barbecue and garden parties in summer? Well, at a time when social distancing has become a constant imperative, the garden can save us. Inside a private area, in fact, it is easier to manage distances but also a possible party. Rather than looking for ad hoc premises to be able to feel the summer more on us.
But how have the prices of green real estate changed? The answer is : it depends. If we are talking about areas with a great tourist vocation but which have suffered a hard setback, prices will tend to increase. While, for less touristy but more standard areas, prices will remain at the same level as always. For those who are unable to find a property with a garden, will turn their attention to areas close to parks and wooded areas.
In short, a green change worthy of note !
