News in the holiday home sector: what is happening
right now?

On the growing demand for holiday homes, Credit Suisse has published a report entitled "Pandemic slows urbanization", which offers a unique insight into the topic of holiday homes. Thanks to the new possibilities of location-independent working, holiday apartments have become more attractive as they can be used more frequently. The COVID-19 pandemic has considerably influenced the second homes market. The prices for holiday apartments have risen the most over the past year, with an average increase of 16 percent.

How do people choose their holiday homes and how can this choice affect your profitability?

Trend: A leading global provider of audit, assurance and consulting, Deloitte, claims that the continuation of COVID-19-induced lockdowns, and financial stressors, have affected our minds and souls. The last 2 years have been stressful and exhausting, that is why people are choosing to prioritize their health and wellbeing. Homeowners will prioritize creating retreats within their homes, such as private spaces for meditation or reflection, reading books and spa-inspired bathroom escapes.

Our advice: Always choose homes that will help you refuel. Natural colour schemes and comfortable furniture combined with functionality will create a welcoming ambience at home. The presence of natural light is important. An additional advantage will be access to spa treatments, saunas, and a swimming pool to help you wind down when needed. Homes with these features increase in value over time.

Trend: There is a growing demand for large spaces. An international real estate aggregator, Realtor.com carried out research and released an article which claimed that suburban real estate is more popular than ever before. People want to trade their urban environments for the suburban areas, and the number of suburban shoppers is 42% higher in comparison to pre-pandemic levels. Properties outside the city are usually larger and give people the opportunity to set up feel-good spaces in their flats, upgraded rooms for self-care and spacious communal areas.

Our advice: Freedom and space are keywords to remember. It is better to choose larger apartments. Do not forget to pay attention to whether the common spaces are comfortable for you. If you love cooking, ensure that the kitchen is spacious. If you value privacy, check if there are separate bathrooms for family members and private spaces.

Trend: People are beginning to prefer investing in a second home rather than a house for permanent residence. Millions of people switched to remote or hybrid work during the pandemic, and they naturally want to have remote-friendly accommodations. Thus, a second home gives you the opportunity to live in the house when it suits you most – you come and go whenever you want while having an additional source of income.

Our advice: If you work remotely, travel all the time and don't stay much in your permanent home – consider buying a holiday home, which will generate income when you are away.
