This is also what a realtor told me. People working from home means they need bigger spaces, and COVID means they need these spaces by themselves, not shared with other people. IIRC condos haven't been selling well but houses certainly are.

Definitely curious to see data to back that up. I’ve seen a couple friends who used to live alone move into shared housing during the pandemic because they craved more social contact than they could get living alone. I don’t know anyone who’s moved from shared housing to solo housing in this time. Movement away from single-person housing lines up with the price pressure you’re seeing, too: small apartments losing value; houses not losing as much.
