In analyzing the industry and its market, several factors working together contributed to this good performance. One of them is related to the personal data of consumers. Due to social isolation and remote work, many people have turned their attention to their living environment, seeking to renovate and replace their existing homes for larger and more comfortable spaces. This behavior fuels and promotes the sale of new properties.
