And it is that teleworking, driven by the pandemic, also boosted the growth of rural life. Something the reverse of what had been happening in previous years.
The role of the Internet in all of this
And what does the Internet have to do with all this? The search for a new home, especially in rural cases, caused many people to move several kilometers. To other climates, other regions. And quoting remotely was possible thanks to the help of the Internet.
Online visits, videos, 3D models and all the resources at hand helped in this new “migration” driven by the pandemic, teleworking and the search for a better quality of life.
Recommendations for the search for a custom home
It is that between the high prices of the properties, the need for people to leave the big cities, and teleworking that allows them to work from anywhere, people have chosen to buy small plots of land: there they can build a house of the way and time they want.
And in order to buy the right plot, it is necessary to review issues such as location, and follow the following recommendations:
Dedicate yourself to investigate. The value may have variations depending on the location, the quality of the land and additional characteristics. A key point is to research the offers and determine a reasonable price that you can pay for the parcel.
Consider growing places. One of the benefits of having plots close to the cities is that you can live a life far away, but at the same time close to the necessary basic services. For example, according to the real estate compratuparcela.cl “People seek to disconnect at times, but they also need to have nearby services. We are currently launching the Hacienda don Bastián project in the La Estrella commune, where we have plots of 5,000 square meters 3 minutes from the city, and close to places like Pichilemu or Litueche. In fact, next April 8, we will carry out the official launch with special discounts, so we invite you to register for free on our website”.
The objectives must be clear. The choice of the plot must be based on a clear objective, ranging from whether you are looking for a place to live and guarantee a great quality of life for your family, or if you are looking for a plot as an investment to be able to rent it over time.
Seek advice. It is necessary to have a good lawyer to review all the details of the purchase. Always try to have advice, it helps to have greater peace of mind, especially if it is your first purchase.
