Seven ways COVID changed housing trends
Four years on from when the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic, CoreLogic research director Tim Lawless has revealed seven ways COVID changed housing trends.
It was four years ago when the World Health Organisation declared COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic. Since that time economic trends, including housing metrics, have been on a roller coaster ride. Although lockdowns and the uncertainty of vaccination programs are well behind us, the legacy of COVID will be with us for a long time yet.
This report provides a retrospective of seven housing and peripheral economic and demographic trends through the pandemic to-date.
1. Housing values have surged since the onset of COVID. CoreLogic’s national Home Value Index (HVI) surged 32.5% between March 2020 and February 2024, adding approximately $188,000 to the median value of an Australian dwelling.
