Spaniards new preferences to buy a home

It is a fact, the preferences of Spanish buyers has changed when buying a home.

The pandemic has marked many changes in the behaviour of buyers.

In the wake of harsh restrictions and total lockdown in 2020, we were all forced to spend more time at home.

This fact made many families rethink the space they needed, both indoors and outdoors.

What are the new preferences of Spaniards when buying a home?

The search percentage referring to penthouses with terraces or ground floors with patios has skyrocketed in recent months; reflecting a change in consumer needs.

Flats with more than 2 bedrooms have become the most sought after, many even with spaces already enabled for offices, due to teleworking or the need for entertainment spacse.

The new needs of buyers have led them to assess aspects such as:

• Energy efficiency.
• Environmental sustainability.
• Exterior spaces: terraces or gardens.
• Homes with natural light.
• Common services such as swimming pools.
• The presence of green areas.
• Parking spaces in the building itself.
• Domotic homes.

Added to these trends is the fact that more and more families are inclined to buy new construction homes. Properties that meet all their requirements and provide, without a doubt, a higher quality of life.

In our real estate agency in Barcelona we have residential projects that more than satisfy all these new needs. Properties that also have an excellent location, another of the key aspects to look for by Spaniards.
