Understanding the needs of those who want to move home is essential to focus on the priorities in real estate research and identify proposals that may arouse interest, until finding a solution that fully meets expectations.
During the spring quarantine we decided to ask our interlocutors directly what their search criteria are and we involved our contacts in a targeted survey: “My dreamy House”.
Through a simple, but specific questionnaire, made up of targeted questions, we have profiled real estate preferences in the era of the pandemic.
The results we have found?
Families are mainly looking for a strategic positioning, convenient to services and close to work and relatives, and a good quarter of the participants believe that an open outlet - probable effect of forced quarantine - is essential, be it a balcony or a garden.
As far as the spaces are concerned, the optimal dimensions are those of four-room apartments (over 55% of preferences) and three-room apartments, preferring the comfort of generous spaces to the more restricted ones of two-room or one-room apartments.
As for the amount designated for the purchase, in Parma and its surroundings, buyers show that they have a fairly defined budget in mind: between € 200,000 and € 400,000. 38% of those interviewed, on the other hand, are looking for an investment within € 200,000, while 20% are willing to spend more demanding amounts.
In conclusion, in 2020 the predominant need is to experience the house at 360 °: more satisfactory sizes, where everyone has their own space, whether it is a studio for smart working, a comfortable room for studying, an extra space for a small gym. Another decisive element are the openings, both for those looking for a detached house with a garden, and for those looking for an apartment, in which a loggia becomes of primary importance in which to spend some time relaxing, perhaps taking care of a small flowery space.
