A Surprising Shift to the \u2018Burbs May Be on the Rise<\/p><\/div>\n

While many people across the U.S. have traditionally enjoyed the perks of an urban lifestyle, some who live in more populated city limits today are beginning to rethink their current neighborhoods. Being in close proximity to everything from the grocery store to local entertainment is definitely a perk, especially if you can also walk to some of these hot spots and have a short commute to work. The trade-off, however, is that highly populated cities can lack access to open space, a yard, and other desirable features. These are the kinds of things you may miss when spending a lot of time at home. When it comes to social distancing, as we\u2019ve experienced recently, the newest\u00a0trend<\/a>\u00a0seems to be around re-evaluating a once-desired city lifestyle and trading it for suburban or rural living. George Ratiu,\u00a0Senior Economist<\/em>\u00a0at\u00a0realtor.com<\/em>\u00a0notes<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the re-opening of the economy scheduled to be cautious, the impact on consumer preferences will likely shift buying behavior\u2026consumers are already looking for larger homes, bigger yards, access to the outdoors and more separation from neighbors. As we move into the recovery stage, these preferences will play an important role in the type of homes consumers will want to buy. They will also play a role in the coming discussions on zoning and urban planning. While higher density has been a hallmark of urban development over the past decade, the pandemic may lead to a re-thinking of space allocation.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Harris Poll<\/em>\u00a0recently\u00a0surveyed<\/a>\u00a02,000 Americans, and 39% of the respondents who live in urban areas indicated the COVID-19 crisis has caused them to consider moving to a less populated area.<\/p>\n

Today, moving outside the city limits is also more feasible than ever, especially as Americans have quickly become more accustomed to \u2013 and more accepting of \u2013 remote work. According to the\u00a0Pew Research Center<\/em><\/a>, access to the Internet has increased significantly in rural and suburban areas, making working from home more accessible. The number of people\u00a0working from home<\/a>\u00a0has also spiked considerably, even before the pandemic came into play this year.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you have a home in the suburbs or a rural area, you may see an increasing number of buyers looking for a property like yours. If you\u2019re thinking of buying and don\u2019t mind a commute to work for the well-being of your family, you may want to consider looking at homes for sale outside the city.
