The Importance of Home

April 3, 2020

Quality investments power on even in the worst conditions, like global pandemics. The home, a source of great wealth but more recently maligned for its unaffordability has just rebounded to the top of the asset pile, again. Just when you thought it was too expensive to go outside, you now find yourself inside. That’s exactly where you need to be – in a germ-free sanctuary which provides not only shelter and safety but now, your new workplace.

Buying a home means buying into a community too. You have your duties as a citizen to act with thought and care for others, so physical distancing and staying at home are now necessary.

So now our home performs two functions, we eat, sleep and socialise with our families but now we work from there too. Initially, you’ll run into challenges like video conferencing with overloaded internet and decisions on how you’ll dress. But once you get settled, it’s business as usual.

It was a good decision to own your own home but in the worst of times that’s now become a great decision.

In Knight Frank’s Wealth Report 2020, you will read about the ongoing love affair the world has with home ownership and real estate in general. Enjoy the read whilst you’re at home.
