Since the beginning of the sanitary crisis, the first lockdown and thus, the massive implementation of telecommuting, more and more city dwellers have decided to move away from big cities to the heart of preserved environments. According to the national real estate federation, this exodus concerns 200,000 households, or 10% of the 2.2 million annual transactions. The restrictions generated by this exceptional health situation have completely changed mentalities. Before the first lockdown, telecommuting affected only 3% of employees, today it concerns 30% of them and up to 50% of the executives; 80% of these people worked from home for at least half of their working hours. Thus, in this particular period where confinement is the rule and where telecommuting is becoming generalized in most companies, people feel the need to get away, to breathe away from the hazards of the city to find a "green" refuge, in the heart of a soothing property, where "telework" and "pleasure" can coexist.
In this "new world" where the worker is no longer forced to go to his workplace every day, and where the proximity of his "office" is no longer a barrier, why not offer the life of his dreams, in the heart of the region and the villa of his choice?
Living in the heart of nature, in the sun, is no longer just a dream but a real life project. The trends are reversed: move to the country and keep only a pied-à-terre in the city to make only a few business trips during the week.According to Magrey & Sons sales agents, this is the reality of the field today. Thus, in this particular period where confinement is the rule and where telework is becoming generalized in most companies, people feel the need to get away, to breathe away from the hazards of the city to find a "green" refuge, in the heart of a soothing property, where "telework" and "pleasure" can coexist.
Some "idyllic" destinations are trying to attract highly qualified teleworkers, whose jobs are compatible with long-distance work, to come and work in the sun, near the beaches... Many countries are competing with each other to attract these people from all over the world: tax exemption, specific visas or even e-resident status.
