Digital real estate market definitively broken through?

“The digital real estate market seems to have made a definitive breakthrough. Obviously there were the various websites with real estate classifieds, but forced by the corona measures, buyers and sellers seem to go a step further today. Buyers and sellers seem to find each other more than ever before through digital tools. Couple this with the observation that real estate once again appears to be the most stable investment and you have the explanation for the recent increase in real estate sales, ”says Björn Verhoeven, General Manager of Van Wellen Group.

"It is difficult to estimate what effect the corona crisis will have on the real estate market in the longer term. There is a possibility that the real estate market will be equally resilient now," says notary Bart van Opstal. "However, it cannot be ruled out that either the consequences of the corona crisis will be greater, in terms of real estate activity, but possibly also in terms of prices. ”
