“Work/lifestyle balance may have been a trend that was cemented by the pandemic in 2020, but this initial trend
has long been in the making as people recognized the need to de-stress their lives. As we move in 2021, there
is an expectation that this will be one of the lasting trends and exurban, rural, and resort locations will be the
beneficiaries. The pandemic is still fueling the uptick in numbers of new residents who are now ready to enjoy the
perks of these lifestyles, especially given that they can work from home.”
