Im the only person in the whole country that I know of who is actively trying to move at the moment. And its not as easy as I thought it would be. Try contacting and getting info out of a few of those vacancies.

JimmyVik wrote: » Most people who can work from home thinks everyone can work from home Its just human bias. Everyone thinks the same rules apply to whole populations as themselves.Wonder what percentage of the working population can actually work from home long term. A post I read earlier where they were saying there will be a government subsidy, maybe a tax break on the salary of a person that works from home over 50% of the time. Now that would get companies thinking.

Even if you are correct People will still desire to live in an urban setting for access to amenties, so all of those will need to spread also.

As I also said before businesses' fine margins won't care much for the human interaction side of things. That is the simple reality. The move towards remote working, teaching and learning is inexorable. To our grandchildren someday, the idea that we drove 3 hour commutes to and back from work every day, that we travelled abroad regularly for conferences in the UK and elsewhere that could just have easily and productively been done online, etc. Such a world will seem so alien to them.

There's also likely to be staggering of workforce rather than 100% of your time in the office or WFH. My place is proposing no more than 50% of the workers on site at any one time leaving a lot of flexibility for managing WFH. We'll likely still have a very small amount in the office 100%, a very small amount WFH 100%, with everyone else being a mixture based on needs. I've been looking to buy myself in North Wicklow but with this move think I might only have to go to the office twice a week at most I'm starting to look further south in Wicklow and even North Wexford as it would be easily manageable but getting much more for my money Won't apply to everyone but I reckon we'll see a sizeable enough shift in behaviour with work patterns

I have no issue with people WFH 1 or 2 days a week. Full time 5 days a week isn't workable for the majority though, nor is it healthy for them either. Maintaining productivity over a 4-8 week period is one thing, you would want to see that over a 12 month period.
Cyrus wrote: » its far more likely that self driving cars will have the change on the property market you expect to see than any mass movement to work from home. humans are a social species, working from home suits a minority only.
JP100 wrote: » That's real head in the sand stuff. It's not an either or approach, you can work from home and still have the human interaction. Lots of companies do it already whereby staff work outside of the office 1 or 2 days per week. Expect to see more and more companies incorporate the latter and more and more employees expecting it and demanding it. Business fine margins also won't care about human interaction. This pandemic is proving for a significant number of businesses that wfh is feasible while maintaining productivity. Money talks, bulksh1t walks, that's what ultimately dictates business fine margins.
