The coronavirus crisis has now reached Europe, causing a considerable slowdown in everyone's daily routine. But what are the consequences of the ‘stuck-at-home’ scenario for potential buyers and users of the ListGlobally real estate portals?

We already focused on Chinese buyers worldwide and coronavirus, but now it's time to focus in Europe. Let's have a look...

Buyers plan to spend more time on property research

Between the 14th-31th of March 2020 , the ListGlobally team has conducted a survey among 696 real estate buyers that have made inquiries on our platforms.  Our findings are:

A good opportunity to reach people at home

While transactions will decline during the crisis period, it is a good opportunity to reach people who are at home searching online. We noticed a 3x increase of properties enquiries from China over the last 6 weeks.

Blocked at home? Check out what property buyers can do!

Blocked at home? Our Partner, Hürriyet Emlak recently produced a hilarious ad (not specifically for coronavirus). We present you:  "Are you looking for a house with ocean view? For example in Miami? Don’t look at me, look at Hürriyet Emlak"

This funny marketing campaign (particularly applicable in #coronavirus lockdown) is being currently transmitted on Turkish TV and the feedback couldn't be better.

Congrats to our partners and friends at Hürriyet Emlak for developing such a light-hearted, yet relevant campaign that highlights the concept of staying at home as an opportunity to reach foreign buyers.

The conclusion is that availability is key!

Although travel and transactions will slow down in the coming weeks, a lot can be achieved through our online tools and resources:

• phone calls with buyers
• emails
• discussion on listings
• virtual visits

Real estate transactions continue. See the market for what it is: an opportunity where people cannot travel, but can very well view properties online, especially as they have more time than before, to do so. Availability is key.
