House prices during Covid – level 1
12-05-2021 15:00
House prices in big cities stay at the same level. It is true for New York, London, or Sydney. It is because people can get cheap loans from banks. House prices usually go down during an economic recession but it is not true during Covid.
House prices go higher in nice areas with a lot of space and trees. People want to live there because they think that they can work from home. Now they don’t need a house near the city center.
It’s also true that the prices for people who want to rent an apartment go down. It is good for them.
Difficult words: level (size), loan (money which you borrow from a bank), economic recession (a difficult time for the business of a country).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
