Executive summary:
This study focuses on the impact of Novel corona virus outbreak on Housing market. Restrictions such as lock down, social distancing imposed by Australian government lead to loss of employment among several individuals, income earnings were also affected. This resulted in low real income among the people. Low real income level decreases the demand for housing among the people leads to decrease in price of house in the housing market. Currently price elasticity demand for housing market is inelastic which indicates people will respond less or demand increase relatively low along with a decrease in price level of housing in the market. This reduces consumer wealth by decreasing their purchasing power. Providing demand subsidies to increase the consumer expenditure, the demand for housing will increase. At subsidize rate people will tend to purchase more quantity of housing, this will increase their welfare in the economy.

Housing price in the city of Sydney is expected to fall by 4 per cent in second quarter and by 2.5 per cent in fourth quarter. For Melbourne it is expected to fall by 5.6 percent in quarter 2 and by 2.8 per cent in quarter 4.Perth housing price is expected to decrease by 5.8 per cent in quarter June and 3.8 per cent in September quarter.

They have used data from 2018 Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. Home equity tells us about how much cash owner of the house will receive from buyer after repaying all outstanding debts on the home while selling it to the buyer.
From above graph of predicted percentage changes in home equity by state, for Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne they predicted home equity will fall by 10 per cent or more and for Adelaide this impact is less severe compared to Perth of one quarter forecasted impact on home equity is fall by around 20 or more than 20 percent. More impact on Perth city of Australia on housing price is due to housing markets are more exposed to stock price movements and average household debt in Perth are relatively high to home values.
