The home of the future – what housing requirements will be relevant in 10 years and how we already consider them when selecting properties

According to Raúl Llorente, the future of real estate begins not when a home is built, but when a person’s expectations of space are formed. He believes that in 10 years, properties will be evaluated not by square metres or location alone – but by their ability to adapt to lifestyle changes. This is why at RentSale RealEstate we already prioritise properties capable of responding to evolving ways of living, remote work formats, technological growth and shifts in personal values.

Today’s client does not simply choose a home – they choose an environment that supports their wellbeing, productivity and personal development. At RentSale RealEstate we assess how flexible a space is: whether functional roles of rooms can be changed, if smart systems can be integrated, whether privacy can be ensured and if it is possible to create zones for focus or recovery. In 10 years, properties will be valued by their ability to “evolve with their owners”.

Technological readiness is becoming a fundamental criterion. RentSale RealEstate tracks trends related to smart systems, energy efficiency, automation and hybrid solutions that allow a home to function also as a workspace. However, as Raúl points out – technology only works well when naturally integrated into architectural logic rather than artificially added. That’s why we analyse structural potential before presenting a property to a client.

Sustainability and environmental quality are also moving to the forefront. We see increasing interest in natural light access, air quality, building orientation and how architecture influences psychological stability. RentSale RealEstate selects properties that help people feel balanced – because the home of the future should not only ensure comfort but actively support mental and emotional resilience.

In 10 years, the true value of real estate will be determined by its ability to simultaneously be a home, a workplace, a restorative environment and a space that aligns with personal lifestyle. At RentSale RealEstate we don’t wait for the market to shift – we already choose properties with long-term relevance and strategic resilience. This approach allows our clients to create not only comfort but also competitive advantage.
