The yo-yo of coronavirus restrictions continues in Victoria, the real estate sector is hoping to avoid another wave sweeping across the state, but we remain ready to comply.<\/h3>\n

I have been incredibly proud of how resilient and proactive the real estate sector has been during the COVID-19 crisis.
\nAuctions and real estate inspections will now revert to being held online only in Melbourne\u2019s 10 COVID-19 hotspots.
\nThe Victorian real estate sector is a flexible, innovative, and resourceful industry capable of dealing with any problem.
\nThe Victorian government on Monday announced that in light of rising cases of coronavirus, 10 suburbs with the highest amount of incidents would be shutdown.
\nThe REIV is calling on all real estate agencies in the affected area to revert to holding online auctions and online inspections.
\nAny return of restrictions is frustrating for all involved, but real estate is prepared to do anything required of it to help curb COVID-19.
\nAs the threat of coronavirus continues to escalate, it is crucial agents continue to review their work practices and monitor the advice daily.
\nReal estate agencies are well prepared for doing their business online having already gone through stage 3 restrictions earlier this year without any major setbacks.
\nLocal agents have turned to technology to satisfy the high demand in Victorian real estate, with virtual reality inspections, and transactions conducted over the phone and electronic document signing over the internet becoming commonplace.
\nThe REIV will be on hand to help agencies in the impacted area prepare for a return to online auctions and inspections.
\nWith interest in Victorian property remaining strong, real estate agents will be doing their best to meet the needs of their customers safely.\u201d
