Yusuf Boz who is founder and current CEO of PropertyTR.com says that “with the pandemic, most companies have moved to home office working model " .The time spent in the houses are longer now. This, in turn, caused the needs of the real estate sector to change. In our study, we found that with the prolongation of time spent in homes, demand shifted, especially between the ages of 0-4 properties and mostly detached housing. The pandemic also affected the sale value rather than the rental value. People once again understood the importance of the need for housing and shaped their investments in this direction. Although the effects of the pandemic will decrease in the coming period, we think that real estate preferences will continue in this direction,” he said.
