Sumario:After the case of Maceió city, which is facing subsidence (sinking) of soil in at least 5 neighborhoods, due to the unrestrained exploitation of rock salt by Braskem, the real estate market, which had been cooled by the national economic scenario and showed a timid recovery in 2019, after the initial apprehension with the pandemic decree in early 2020, it saw an upward curve of appreciation with the advance of payments of financial compensation, the result of an agreement signed between the company, the Public Ministry and Public Defender. This article aims to analyze the reactions of the real estate market, both in the rental and the sales market, to verify the fulfillment of the real housing demands of the population affected by the disaster. Reports from APSA, Panoramas of the Real Estate Market released by Sinduscon and FipeZAP Indices were consulted, observing numbers of property launches, offers, sales, leases, and available types. As a result, there is an immediate increase in rental prices, followed by an increase in the price per square meter. However, attention is urged to an exponent supply of one-bedroom apartments, which does not respond to the demand arising from commuting.
