Demand for rural homes shows ‘profound, psychological change’ due to coronavirus, Redfin CEO saysPUBLISHED FRI, APR 17 2020 5:38 PM EDT
• The CEO of real estate brokerage Redfin said Friday that demand for homes has
shifted to rural areas as people react to the coronavirus pandemic and look to
move out of dense urban areas.
• “We have seen that people are more interested in that house at the foot of the
mountains by the lake,” Glenn Kelman said on CNBC’s “Closing Bell.” “Rural
demand is much stronger right now than urban demand, and that’s a flip from
where it’s been for the longest time, where everybody wanted to live in the city.
We’ll see how it comes back, but there seems to be a profound, psychological
change among consumers who are looking for houses.”
