Chiavari – Working and living permanently in what used to be the second home, that of the holidays: “With smart working this phenomenon is also taking hold, yes – explains Mario Breglia, president of Scenari Immobiliari which yesterday, in “Santa”, at the Grand Hotel Miramare, kicked off the twenty-eighth edition of the Forum – rather than working from home in the suburbs of Milan, it is better to move to Santa Margherita, in Alassio, in those second homes that become first ».
Forum with an emblematic title. “Après le déluge”, recalling a poem by Arthur Rimbaud, to reflect what it is and what will be after that flood called Covid 19. For the real estate sector: according to the data of the European Outlook 2021 presented by Scenari Immobiliari, yesterday, in 2020 in Italy the turnover for the real estate market had a decrease of 15 percent (percentage which is del minus 10 per cent, in Europe). For 2021, a return to growth is expected (with value, however, at minus 8 percent). For homes, sales have fallen to at least 23.6 percent but a plus 8.5 percent is expected for 2021.
Among the data, always linked to Covid 2020: the analysis of Scenari Immobiliari and Johnson Controls puts pen to paper that, to redevelop the 210 thousand hospital beds in Italy, something like 6.2 billion euros in ten years. Of these 6.2 billion euros, approximately 18 percent will be used for the technological component. Covid 19 watershed between the life that has been and what is and will be. «One of the most important issues is not only the recovery but also what kind of recovery – underlines the president Breglia – how the markets change, what are the demands today. After what we have experienced, the main theme is the relationship between workplace and residence. And, among those who work from home: one account is a single senior professional, another is one young professional couple with children who, too, do their homework or lectures remotely. Important changes have been triggered ». Houses also decentralized but more liveable: this is what the Italians looked for in the lockdown and immediately after.
And there is not only this aspect, to be analyzed. “The months we have lived have seen an impressive development of e-commerce, a significant crisis in large-scale distribution, the rediscovery of neighborhood shops, the difficulty of the shops in the most beautiful streets of the city – continues Breglia – on this too. we must reflect “. On how cities are and will change, after the Covid-19 flood.
