Poles looking for gardens, terraces and balconies
17:35
Lots, houses, but also larger flats than before – especially with terraces, gardens or at least balconies – these properties were much more popular in April than in March. Restrictions introduced during the epidemic affect what real estate Poles are looking for today.
And so popularity records and family allotments have broken in recent weeks. Dutch houses, wooden houses, caravans and motorhomes are also enjoying record-breaking interest – according to data collected by HRE Investments. We are looking for everything that during government restrictions will allow us to enjoy more freedom and allow contact with nature.
Otodom data confirm, for example, the fact that after the outbreak of the epidemic we are looking for larger surfaces. In April, 60 sqm was the most sought-after minimum premises size. Even a month earlier, the lower limit of the most frequently searched area of a flat was set at 40 sqm. This trend also applies to homes. In March, we were most often looking for buildings at least 60 sqm. Today, the most frequently entered minimum surface in the search engine is 100 sqm.
The changes are very dynamic. From April to May 5, the demand for apartments with gardens increased by as much as 60 percent compared to the number of inquiries from March this year. Apartments with terraces recorded a slightly larger increase (63percent). Revival of demand can also be seen in the segment of apartments with balconies. These were recently (from April 1 to May 5) searched 19 percent more often than in March – according to Otodom data.
