Sheltering in place leads to desire for more space

May 5, 2020

Sheltering in place leads to desire for more space

The shelter in place orders that have been in effect for weeks across the country have many people spending more time at home than ever before.

And after spending so much time in their homes, many of them are noticing what they don’t like about their current space — and what they’re looking for in a new home. A new survey from realtor.com asked people what they considered must-have features for their next home after sheltering in place. And, unsurprisingly, many of them had to do with space.

Some of the most common must-haves on buyers’ post-quarantine wishlist include:

  • More space (16 percent)
  • More/better outdoor space (14 percent)
  • Separation from neighbors (10 percent)
  • More bedrooms (9 percent)

So if stay-at-home orders are making you realize you’re ready for a new space (and more space), you’re not alone — and you’re not stuck. Thanks to virtual tours and closings, home sales are still happening in the midst of the coronavirus—so get in touch with your real estate agent and start looking for the space you need.

TESTIMONIALS

"We found Russ to be an excellent Realtor. He was so easy to work with, very professional and thorough. He was always prompt to respond to our calls and emails. We were a bit nervous at first, because we were out of town buyers, but Russ quickly put us at ease. He sent us many potential prospects but he was never pushy. It was so nice to work with someone so honest. We would highly recommend using Russ to anyone who was looking to buy or sell."
- Linda M., Quail Creek
"Russ was perhaps the best Realtor I’ve ever had the privilege to work with. Always accommodating and very responsive … he guided me thru a maze of unusual issues selling my home and we closed right on time at the price I hoped for. I wouldn’t even consider anyone else if I had a home to sell, and I would urge you not to pick a realtor without at least meeting with Russ first."
- Patsy V., Quail Creek
"Fair, reliable, professional and a pleasant person to work with. Would not hesitate to recommend. All aspects of the sale were very professional. The materials to publicize the house were well done as were the photos. Russ’s familiarity with Quality Creek and the market were up to date and reliable. His manner was low key and very responsive. Easy to work with. Very helpful in staging the house. Excellent in all respects. Overall, a very easy person to work with and always professional."
- Joan H., Quail Creek
