With the pandemic that is going on all over the world, many businesses have been closing down. However, not every business has been hit with as heavy a toll. Some businesses are still operational because they are deemed essential because they are critical towards the daily lives of mankind. According to the director of the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, Christopher Krebs; real estate services are considered critical to public health, economic and national security (too bad Governor Cuomo disagrees…haha).

In the department’s memorandum, they included real estate as part of the essential businesses and advised real estate companies to continue offering their services. This goes to show how much of an impact real estate has on the economy as well as in people’s daily lives. Here are some of the basic concepts that enable real estate to be so crucial in our economic and social infrastructure.

Real Estate is A Basic Need

People have basic needs that need to be met in their lives such as food, water, and shelter. These needs are essential to ensure survival, and are also why real estate is essential. This entire world is real estate, everything from your home, to the corner store you shop at for your groceries or household needs. Any piece of property in this world that you can see, feel, or talk about, is considered real estate. Furthermore, people will always look for real estate, either for personal use or for business use. With this being said, no matter what the state of the economy, real estate will always be in demand as an essential piece of mankind’s infrastructure. 

Real Estate Offers Stability

No matter what happens in the economy, the real estate market is often stable. As the population grows, the demand for real estate will increase. This is due to the fact that people will always need  a property to live in. As the demand increases, it offers greater potential returns. Because of this, it is considered as one of the best investments that you could make. It is a long term strategy that can help you gain more profit as time passes by. With proper representation, the margin for error in real estate investments is slim and for this reason, it has become a vital investment tool.

Real Estate Provides Value

As a tangible asset, real estate will continue to appreciate as compared to other types of property like vehicles whose value will depreciate over time. This is one of the reasons why many make use of real estate investments. Having a physical property gives the owner multiple options to secure a profit on their investment. 

Real Estate Offers Job Opportunities

There are several industries responsible for making the business thrive, such as the construction industry and the housing industry, among other things. Because of the need for it, many jobs have been in demand. From architects, construction workers, laborers to real estate agents, all of them work together to provide real estate for the people. With the increasing job opportunities, it has made a considerable impact on the economic sector and employment rate of the people.

Real Estate Generates Income

Having a property has certainly provided a secure income to many. People who purchase real estate know that they will acquire benefits from it.  One of which being that they can have passive income. This means even when doing little to no work, they will still receive in income stream through their property. Many people have also used their real estate purchases, as rental properties where a landlord and tenant relationship is established.
