Positive developments are expected in 2021 in the real estate sector, which has managed to survive despite all the negativities experienced with the start of the pandemic period.
An optimistic view can be found in 2021 in the real estate sector, which is one of the sectors least affected by the economic decline process with the coronavirus. Demands for real estate investments, which are among the investments that are stated to have the least risk, are also shaped with the pandemic.

Evaluating the changing demands in 2020, Tüm Girişimci Emlak Müşavirleri Derneği (TÜGEM) President Hakan Akdoğan said, “When coronavirus came into our lives, our whole order has changed. It was impossible for the real estate sector not to be affected by this change. There has been a change and transformation in office needs, especially with the models of working from home. The number of people moving to smaller offices instead of large offices has increased. Some companies have given up offices altogether. On the other hand, due to the increase in the time spent at home, the interest in houses with gardens and terraces has increased.” He commented on the sector change with his words.

Keeping up with digital transformation has become Mmndatory

Expressing that one of the changes experienced after the pandemic is the working style of real estate consultants, Akdoğan said, “Now, real estates are visited with video, drone and 360 virtual tours. Interviews are held online. In fact, online deed application can be made via applications without going to the title deed offices. Both buyers and sellers are very satisfied with these applications. Digital transformations continue to occur in the marketing, sales and management phases.”

‘Real estate is the best investment tool’

Mentioning that real estate is the most appropriate investment tool despite the fluctuations in foreign currency and gold in the recent period, Akdoğan said, “For example, gram gold, which has forced 600 liras, is currently at the level of 420 liras. On the other hand, although short-term returns were not seen in real estate, it provided a return much higher than the inflation rate this year. For this reason, we, as professional real estate consultants, continue to recommend real estate for both investment and rental income.”

RISING DEMAND FOR RESIDENCES IN THE CENTER OF THE CITY

Stating that the demands in the housing sector have changed with the changes in the social structure, TSKB Real Estate Valuation Manager Makbule Yönel Maya emphasizes that the customer is leaning towards the residences in the center of the city.
The social, economic and cultural structures that have changed in the last period are also shaping the demands in the housing sector. Makbule Yönel Maya states that buildings with the concept of residence, attract more attention. He states that the residences that appeal to the upper income group; stand out with their security and ease of transportation, daily cleaning service, reception service, shopping service, parking lot, sports fields, swimming pool and valet parking services.
Maya says: “Housing demands will be directed to high-rise buildings in the centers in the coming period; With the change in collective family structures, the interest in studio, 1+1 and 2+1 flats has also increased. Functionality in residences is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Useful structures materials are more popular. Wide-used social activity areas, relaxing recreation areas that appeal to visual aesthetic pleasure are highly regarded by home buyers. With the increase in awareness, projects using earthquake-safe static materials draw attention. In addition to being on a secure site, it is expected that the house will create a living space, not just a house to live in, with its school, shopping center and social facilities.
