Gold and silver usually goes up when something bad happens and property is usually inverse correlated to the monetary precious metals.
What will happen to property markets if this coronavirus does keep spreading as it is doing currently?

Is this going to be like when SARS was going to kill everyone? Then it turned out that it only affected very crowded places with, crumbling infrastructure, poor public hygiene and inadequately funded national health care?
Oh wait. The UK is stuffed this time around then.4 -

It's only going to have an impact on house prices if it kills enough Brits in a small enough area. Wipe out half a town and the supply sand demand will skew for a few years.
This isn't going to get you on the property market, just save up like everyone else.1 -

Corona virus is currently mainly killing elderly people with chronic conditions already.0 -

That’s the first sensible point I’ve seen.
At the moment I can’t see it affecting Russian or Malaysian buyers so would be fairly limited in its impact, but fear can Certainly have an impact.2 -
More people have died from flu in the Uk.;)0
