JOBKEEPER PAYMENTS EXTENDED...

The Government has just announced that it will be extending Jobkeeper payments. So what does this mean for the property industry? At the moment it's both a buyers and a seller's market, which is something that we haven't seen for a very long time now. This means that there isn't much on the market to choose from, which is great for sellers, as it provides competition for their home and drives prices up, but prices are still low from when they dropped slightly in previous months, which suits buyers well if they don't get into a bidding war with multiple offers on a property.
​

​The continuation of Jobkeeper payments means that people still have money coming in if they're on reduced hours, and buyers are still in the position to make offers on low priced properties, and sellers can keep making repayments on their mortgages while they're waiting for the right buyer to come along.
​
We are still waiting to see if the market will go up or down next, however at this stage it's holding steady.
