Why do people choose to upsize their home during a pandemic?

COVID-19 has been an eye-opener of sorts. It has propelled families to take stock of their health, safety, and finances as well as put a strategic plan in place to get their life back to normalcy.

The pandemic also affected the way people lived and will continue to impact how they will live in the future.

Future residence

The trend of rural to urban migration saw a reverse migration with city dwellers returning to their homes in towns and villages once again. The flexible Work from Home trend triggered this mass movement.

When it came to mass residential community living, those who were living in smaller and affordable homes, desired to get away from congested urban clusters to bigger homes on the outskirts. There are several reasons for this fast-emerging shift.

The start of physical distancing

In a tech-savvy era when technology is bringing the world closer, medical science is underlining the strong message of maintaining a healthy physical distance within our communities.

On the home front, for those homeowners already living in a compact home, the pandemic singularly pushed them into taking a huge decision – that of moving into a larger and spacious home. Primarily for health purposes which was not possible in a smaller home.

When you have maids, cooks, and drivers coming into your home to work, it is entirely impossible to maintain a clear physical distance of one meter at least within a small home.

Better ventilation

A larger home means more windows and doorways. It also features balconies and terraces. This automatically translates to enhanced ventilation with air flowing in and having the space to dispel mustiness and stale air in the home. It also leads to more sunlight streaming in to eliminate germs and viruses.

Having a balcony in the home lends additional private outdoor space for that dose of fresh air and sun without having to step out of the home. Transforming the balcony into a small garden gives homeowners their own little green lung within their abode.

More space

All of us yearn to have our own space, our own room to spend our time in whichever way we want. Living in a small home means, sharing our space with other members of the family because there often is not enough rooms for everyone.

With the uncertainty that the pandemic posed, more families in India had their elders moving in with them. This led to their looking for a larger home to accommodate all generations under the same spacious roof.

Remote employment

Several multinationals and corporates moved the office space into their employees’ home. This fostered the mass movement of the employed to places and larger spaces that they could afford the luxury of. This opportunity to work remotely, and from wherever they chose, drove people to move to larger, luxurious homes which are pretty affordable on the outskirts of the city. A lot many employed realized they could save up on the commute and divert this savings towards a higher EMI on their home loan for a bigger apartment in Kanakapura Road or Sarjapur Road.

Affordable luxury

Luxury is not just the domain of the rich and famous. It is accessible to all those who have a taste for quality and the finances to realize their desire. The same principle works for a luxury home.

Following the pandemic, more families with a large disposable income and the appetite to possess the finer aspects of homeownership, began looking for larger homes with more bedrooms and balconies. A lot many explored newer home design plans of sky villas and condominiums spreading across over 5000 sq ft of uninhibited living spaces.

Homeowners of 2 BHKs upgraded to 3 and 4 BHK homes within secure environs of self-contained gated enclaves and mini townships on the city’s outskirts. With these luxury gated communities appointed with in-house concierge and facility management departments meant they did not have to step out of their comfort zones to access basic essentials such as groceries, courier, or chauffeur services.
