WINNIPEG --
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted many areas of everyday life, and the housing market is no exception.
With many people working from home, buyers are looking for extra space to get work done.
The Manitoba Real Estate Association commissioned a public survey through Probe Research of 1,000 random Manitobans to see how the pandemic has changed what they look for in a home.
Research shows almost half of Manitoba residents wanted a dedicated space to exercise.
Extra space for a home office is a higher priority now for 44% of Manitobans, and almost one in four Manitobans said having a property with a yard is now a much higher priority.
