At the start of 2020, homebuyers were excited to finally purchase the home of their dreams. Then, as the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic swept the nation, many homebuyers immediately screeched their real estate endeavors to a halt.

By the end of June, many buyers started to resume their plans — driven by pent-up demand from earlier this spring. And as the world was rapidly forced to adapt to the coronavirus, homebuyer needs also adapted.

As a third of the world begins working from home full-time, kids adapt to virtual classes, and some companies state they may never return to their old workspace — homes have seemed more crowded than ever before.

When asked what the top motivation is for buyers to move currently, top real estate agents dubbed the need for more space (44%), the desire to leave the city (37%), and the need for more private outdoor space (31%) as some of the most important factors motivating people to move.

While a large acreage of land and more space sounds ideal in an age when people are spending all day at home, homebuyers should also do their research on water wells. If you’re a homebuyer thinking of making a move to a rural area and you’re seeking a large acreage of land, you’ll almost surely have to contend with water wells.
