Basically, we adapt to new needs and likes but at the same time we benefit from the customs and experiences of the generations before us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Think About Real Estate Priorities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was thinking about this a lot the last couple of weeks \u2013 not only because I have a lot of time sitting at home \u2013 but mainly because my priorities seemed to have changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Storage Space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyunder50k.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/pantry-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-595\"\/><figcaption>New on my wishlist &#8211; a pantry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I live in a spacious apartment but now\npreparing for the lock-down I found myself running low on storage space for\nfood items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I ended up piling up water bottle and\ncanned food in the living room. I was reminded of the basement in my\ngrandmother\u2019s house where they use to store foods for winter time when there\nwouldn\u2019t be much fresh fruits and vegetables available \u2013 that would come in\nhandy right now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I also thought of those nice old-style\napartments in Berlin, they would always come with a \u201cSpeisekammer\u201d, \u2013 literally\nmeaning food chamber \u2013 that\u2019s a pantry, a small room in the\nkitchen dedicated to shelf-stable food storage. I loved to hide in one of those\nwhen playing hide and seek with my friends who lived in one of those\napartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think that\u2019s one of those things I really\nwould like to have now and I\u2019m sure in my next home I will make sure I have a\npantry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Practical and clean<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I always hated clutter, now I hate it even\nmore. Since the coronavirus I became very minimalistic and I just love it,\nevery day more. It looks tidy and is just so easy to clean and disinfect. I\nonly kept some decoration that is actually serving some purpose, like mirror or\na clock. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing that is on my wish list for\nmy next home is a sink beside the entrance door. A place where you can wash\nyour hands straight away when you come in. It just seems to be the perfect\nplace and you can make washing your hands a little entering-the-house-ritual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Outside space<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.propertyunder50k.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/balcony-1024x658.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-597\"\/><figcaption> Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/@djan22?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Artur Aleksanian<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/s\/photos\/balcony?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\">Unsplash<\/a> <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing I find to be great in this time is some sort of outside space &#8211; being it a garden or just a balcony. It can be great for many things, drying the cloths, grow some vegetables or just letting the sun shine on your belly\u2026 Especially when spending several days or weeks at home some space like this can make all the difference. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.listproperty4free.com\/list_view.php?show_set_alert=false&amp;search_order_by=best_results&amp;search_adsperpage=10&amp;search_ad_type=all&amp;view_state=exp&amp;search_type=house&amp;what_state=exp&amp;search_extra%5B%5D=6\">Houses with garden<\/a> are just great when you have to stay at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Flexible<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing COVID-19 teaches us is that our\nhouse should be flexible. Within a couple of days some people found themselves\nin a new situation where they maybe had to quarantine someone of the family or\nset up a home office. This is very challenging for many. An en suite guest room\ncan be a good solution as you can turn it into your temporary office or where\nyou can quarantine yourself if necessary. An en suite guest room\nis a bedroom with adjoined private bathroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Back to the Basics &#8211; think about real estate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Altogether, with everything that happened\nin last few weeks, it definitely already changed my view of real estate. It all\ncomes back to the basics \u2013 a warm, practical, clean shelter with enough storage\nspace for necessities and last but not least for our mental health, some space\noutside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think, will the covid-19 change\nthe way we think about real estate?
