Auctions on hold due to COVID-19

After PM Scott Morrison announced last week that all public gatherings, including housing auctions, are to stop as part of COVID-19 restrictions, sales of established housing in Sydney has slowed significantly.  This is more a pause than a full-stop – auction houses report there are thousands of homes waiting to go under the hammer when live sales are allowed to resume – and many vendors who had previously committed to marketing campaigns have carried on.  It remains to be seen how this impacts the market, which has been rising steadily since July 2019.

Construction of infrastructure, housing continuing

While many businesses and industry sectors have been told to close shop to help contain the spread of COVID-19, the building sector continues to deliver infrastructure and housing projects.  Federal and State Governments have allowed our sector to keep working provided strict social distancing and hygiene measures are in-place on all sites.
