Australian housing values racked up a third consecutive month of declines in July, with CoreLogic’s home value index dropping 0.6% over the month, a slight improvement from June when the national series was down 0.7%.

However, with fiscal support set to taper from October and repayment holidays expiring at the end of March next year, Mr Lawless believes the medium term outlook remains skewed to the downside.

“Urgent sales are likely to become more common as we approach these milestones, which will test the market’s resilience. Similarly, the recent concerns of a second wave of the virus and the potential for renewed border closures and stricter social distancing polices are likely to further push consumer sentiment down. This is likely to weigh on both home buying and selling activity more broadly.”

If we cant find a way to keep working, isolating the vulnerable and mandatory quarantine of the infected the general economy will be on a very rocky road to somewhere unpleasant.

This has nothing to do with govt support, everything to do with fast testing and sensible action.

We cant keep sending healthy people into isolation lockdowns - recipe for economic disaster. Lockdown healthy people = Weapon of Mass Wealth Destruction.
