The health crisis created by the coronavirus has transformed many sectors and real estate is one of them. Now that a new year is beginning, it is important to know what 2021 has in store and which real estate trends will stand out. We tell you what things to look out for if you want to rent or buy a property in the coming months.

● Buying bigger homes

In the wake of the coronavirus, people interested in buying a property to live in, whether a flat or a house, are opting for bigger places, with much larger spaces and even open spaces such as terraces or gardens. Confinement has made us realize how important it is to have more square meters and those who can afford it will opt for larger homes.

● The rise of digital advertising

Today's customers are on social media, blogs and the Internet in general. Therefore, real estate agencies are investing in SEO and SEM, in creating content for their websites, staying active on social networks, etc. Their goal is to capture the largest number of clients and the digital environment is perfect to achieve this.

● Increased use of technology in the sector.

Are you looking for a real estate agency in Tenerife? Technology will be your great ally. Now that people are limiting physical contact as much as possible, online property viewing is booming. The best thing is that thanks to 3D technology these visits are almost as if you were in person, and they can be even better because you can go into more detail. Photographs are also very helpful; if they are of good quality and show the property in detail, they can be enough to give you a first glimpse and make a preliminary selection.

● The premium market will become more affordable

If you want to know about house price trends, there is good news for those who want to buy a property of a higher standard. In Barcelona, for example, the premium market is becoming more affordable every day because the biggest demand is from national buyers and they are looking for properties between 300,000 euros and one million euros.

Real estate trends tell us that the market will start to move in 2021, but experts predict that it will be 2022 before the real estate sector reaches the levels it had before the arrival of the coronavirus.
