July 29, 2021 | REIV RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY SALES UPDATE – JUNE 2021 QUARTER
The latest data released by the Real Estate Industry of Victoria (REIV) shows strong and sustained results for the June 2021 Quarter. Building on historic highs in the first quarter of this year, trends are continuing historic upwards trajectories. Buyers are making the most of low interest rates, and forecasters are warming up predicting rising house prices right through 2021, compared to this time last year where Melbourne’s property market was uncertain due to Covid-19.
