24.01.2022 What is happening to residential real estate amid COVID-19? On March 17th, CoreLogic circulated an article exploring property value performance against such events. The findings were:... 1. Negative economic shocks do not necessarily lead to severe declines in property prices; 2. Property does not see the same declines as shares during a downturn, because it is used to live in and therefore not as speculated upon as shares; additionally, it cannot be bought and sold as quickly as shares, meaning price movements are not as volatile; 3. Due to the temporal nature of the COVID-19 downturn, vendors may hold high expectations for their property value and simply hold off selling until the economy returns to full-scale production; 4. The current high level of household debt amplifies the risk of an adverse change in household circumstances such as loss of income, unemployment or illness on housing market conditions; and, 5. The number of property transactions have seen more drastic declines in response to economic shocks, and could be even more affected amid the COVID-19 downturn. -

23.01.2022 ATTENTION FIRST HOME BUYERS - you could be the target of further government stimulus packages. With the RBA announcing the cash rate it to remain at its current record low of 0.25%, mortgage aggregator Finsure has underscored the importance of additional stimulus packages from the government in helping the economy rebound from its current slump. Finsure Group managing director John Kolenda has welcomed reports that the latest package being prepared by Treasurer Josh Frydenb...erg includes increased grants for new home buyers and renovations for established homes. According to Kolenda, the significant increase to the first home buyers’ grant was key in buoying the sluggish housing sector during the global financial crisis in 2008. In October of that year, the grant was temporarily doubled from $7,000 to $14,000 for established homes and brought up to $21,000 for new properties. That stimulus resulted in an increase of 300,000 inquiries from first home buyers at the time one of the greatest uptakes in history which produced a positive flow-on effect for the entire housing market which benefited the whole economy," Kolenda said.

06.01.2022 The RBA will keep the cash rate at its record low for the foreseeable future with no improvement in inflation and labour market conditions in sight, according to AMP chief economist Shane Oliver. As widely anticipated, the RBA yesterday held the official cash rate at 0.25 per cent. In a statement released following the decision, RBA governor Philip Lowe reiterated that the central bank would not consider changes to the cash rate until its long-term targets of unemployment and... inflation were met. The board will not increase the cash rate target until progress is being made towards full employment, and it is confident that inflation will be sustainably within the 2-3 per cent target band, he said. The RBA is expecting inflation to remain below 2 per cent over the next few years and is expecting the unemployment rate to hit 10 per cent in the coming months before ending 2020 at 7 per cent.

03.01.2022 Cash rate remains unchanged on this winters day. Both the Federal Government and Reserve Bank have introduced measures over the last few months to help the economy through this challenging period. This support is likely to be needed for the foreseeable future, in order to assist with the economic recovery, as mentioned in Governor Philip Lowe’s official statement: The Board is committed to do what it can to support jobs, incomes and businesses and to make sure that Australia... is well placed for the recovery. Its actions are keeping funding costs low and supporting the supply of credit to households and businesses. This accommodative approach will be maintained as long as it is required. The Board will not increase the cash rate target until progress is being made towards full employment and it is confident that inflation will be sustainably within the 23 per cent target band.

01.01.2022 According to CoreLogic, "So far, the COVID-19 downturn has had a dramatic impact on agent activity and listings volumes in residential real estate. But the value of dwellings has been relatively resilient". "It is still likely that property values will fall amid the downturn. But the decline in momentum across property values has been mild relative to what has happened in market activity".
