Work Proximity Matters Less in Post-Corona Times
by Carlisle Homes
Looking ahead, to a post Covid-19 housing market, will “Location, location, location” still be the heralded catch cry of the real estate sales pitch? Our experts think not.
The past few months have delivered an unprecedented turbulence across every aspect of our lives. We have been forced to adapt to a new way of life and adopt new principles that will change the working landscape. Now, as we begin to emerge from the initial panic and lockdown - Australians are re evaluating what is important to them and their families and are taking some positive learning from early 2020.

Some of Australia’s leading companies have actually noted a surge in productivity with their workforce working remotely, saving time on commuting as well as a long list of other WFH benefits. Experts predict that this ‘forced WFH experiment,’ has resulted in companies realising that their workforce don’t need to be under the same roof to be productive. Meaning we will see more people than ever before, working remotely permanently or for at least part of every week.

For many this newly gained opportunity of working from home will result in previously unimaginable lifestyle gains. Proximity to the city or their workplace becomes, for them, an out-of-date benchmark for purchasing a new home.
Instead, as our priorities shift to focusing on family and lifestyle over location we will see a greater demand for space to build and grow, surrounded by communities of the same mindset. New estates like Upper Point Cook offer the opportunity for families to build their dream home without compromising on space, amenities, schools or direct access to the Princess Freeway for times when they are required to go into the office.
The study nook demonstrates that with clever joinery solutions spaces can become dedicated and organised work areas for the whole family, on display at the Arlington in Newhaven Estate Tarneit.
In our business we have seen an upsurge in enquiries related to new home designs that incorporate dedicated home office space. Designing a home with these new priorities in mind offers the opportunity to create purpose built areas for productivity and a work/life balance that was previously impossible for many families.
“Many of our home designs incorporate spaces in the floor plan for a home office away from the disturbances of everyday life”.
- Danielle Taylor – Interior Design Manager
