REA Group Chief Economist Nerida Conisbee says the property market in premium suburbs of Sydney and Melbourne appears to be least affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

“If you have a look at somewhere like Sydney’s east, we’re seeing six times the level of activity we’re seeing in the south west,” she said. “If we have a look at some of Melbourne and Sydney’s most expensive suburbs… they’re the ones that do seem to be holding up a lot better in terms of buyer demand.

” Ms Conisbee said the auction market saw “quite a significant change” since the start of the coronavirus crisis. “Before COVID-19 we saw roughly around 15 per cent of homes sold via auction, now we have had a ban on live auctions, a lot of agents have moved to digital auctions,” she said. “The take up hasn’t been as great as live auctions – so we’re seeing only around five per cent of homes sold via online auctions which is a big drop.

Not risking to be under gun point or shot dead I guess given they have no rights as the JJE’s(Judge,Jury,Executioners) are out there, the other worry is these militants maybe suffering delusional & paranoia episodes including schizophrenia given the new powers they have.
