COVID five years on: How the pandemic continues to shape real estate markets

Five years on from the start of the pandemic and the structural shifts it brought about continue to underpin real estate performance. Over the coming weeks, we will publish a series of pieces that draw upon our initial work from 2020 and 2021 on the impact of COVID-19 on property markets and cities and set out what we think comes next.

This is the first in a series of pieces that revisit our pandemic-era forecasts about the future of global real estate markets and cities and explore how they will evolve in the coming years. This dedicated page highlights key analysis from our earlier work on this issue and is where you’ll find new work as it is published in the weeks ahead.
