The same thing applies in government policy and there are few places it is more obvious than in housing. In other words, the government will give you a top-up of up to 10 per cent of the value of your home. But as McBride notes, interfering even on the lower end may cause the stimulus to leak out into the wider housing market. As of February, the average price of a home was down more than five per cent, although that differs regionally and by property type. If the decline continues, even with the new incentive, those who can might still be wisest to wait.
