But several realtors told CNN that their clients are now citing another reason: Russia’s war in Ukraine, and the fear that the conflict could spread.

Lopez said a client last month bought a property because they wanted to avoid being conscripted into the Polish military.
“The trigger, really, was the war in Ukraine.”But most buy just for peace of mind – a back-up plan, for those wealthy enough to afford one.
“Obviously, we are in NATO, but I must say there’s a big amount of people who are really, really afraid,” she said.
