3 minute Read

Last week, most of the focus was put on lockdown, but there were still a few stories out there about the property market.

Let’s focus on the grants available to businesses and individuals made available by the State and Federal governments. These grants are designed to relieve some of the pressure of lockdown. Businesses have access to $5,000 – $10,000 and individuals who can prove they have lost money during lockdown can receive up to $500.

In lighter news, new spots for the First Home Loan Deposit Schemes are available now! If you are eligible, sign up now as there are only 10,000 spots available each year. However, keep in mind that some of the optimism in the property market from recent months is beginning to die down as people are worried about prices, once again, being too high. But not it’s not all bad, more and more people are moving to regional areas, where prices are far more manageable.
