Open inspections and auctions to practice social distancing measures today as coronavirus fears test Sydney's rebounding property market.

Some of the major banks have indicated they will allow eligible mortgage customers the chance to defer repayments for up to six months to deal with the crisis."If there are widespread job redundancies that might come into distressed sales," Ms Ball said.The states also agreed to work on how relief could be provided to tenants in both commercial and residential tenancies over the next six months.

Bidders will also be separated and most agents are looking to increase live streaming of auctions and phone and online bidding options. Sydney Auctioneer Clarence White is conducting 14 auctions this weekend but expected fewer onlookers coming onsite to watch the action."We would then make available the option for someone to phone bid, or if agents want to go to the next step, those apps can be allowed for online bidding."
