As the coronavirus pandemic drags on, some city dwellers are eyeing the affordable square footage and open spaces that suburban living offers, even going so far as to sell their current home for the ability to relocate. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Novi and Northville neighborhoods and we have seen that there are people want to get away from the hype. They want more relaxation. In a time when the virus has diluted many of the traditional city allures such as a short office commute and access to renowned restaurants, it’s easy to see why so many are high-tailing it out of dodge. Moving to the suburbs is a life-changing decision, though, and it’s not one you want to make lightly. Many agents say remote work is encouraging moves away from the office and urban areas, where parents may also benefit from access to better schools. In addition, 32% of agents report that less density and a suburban location is top of mind for luxury homebuyers post-COVID-19. A Harris Poll released earlier this year confirms that concerns over COVID-19 spurred some urban dwellers, particularly those ages 18 to 34, to consider moving elsewhere. They said the virus had prompted them to consider living where it’s less crowded. Check out below to see what sold in Island Lake Arbors in August 2021:
