Today, I deep dive into Perth's building industry bottleneck and how it's impacting housing costs and prices of established properties. Since my last update, high population growth has only increased demand, with around 25,000 new homes needed each year to keep up! We'll look into the hurdles facing the building sector, like rising construction costs, project delays, and land price increases. With even more builders recently going bust, building a new home is getting pricier, and consumer confidence is taking a hit, pushing affordability even further out of reach. As difficult as this is for home buyers, it's all adding up to giving me even greater confidence that established prices will continue to rise.  Let's go inside.   Resource Links: Get your Strategic Portfolio Plan and our help with Buying Your Next Perth Property  (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/invest-in-perth-property/) Join the Perth Property Investment Facebook Group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/perthpropertyinvestors) Join Jarrad Mahon's Property Investor Update (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/join) For more info on our award-winning and highly rated Property Management services that give you guaranteed peace of mind (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/perth-property-management-specialists/) For more info on how our Property Sales services can ensure you get the best selling price while handling all the stress for you (https://www.investorsedge.com.au/selling-your-perth-property/)       Episode Highlights: Intro [00:00] Building Bottleneck and Its Impact on Property Prices [00:52] Demand and Population Growth [01:36] Supply and Commencements [04:04] Construction Delays and Industry Challenges [05:45] Cost of Building and Land Prices [08:36] Impact on Affordability and Market Outlook [13:50]   Thank you for tuning in!

Today, I explore the critical question every property investor faces at some point: Should you hold onto properties through market cycles or aim to capitalize on timing the peaks?  Achieving potentially higher returns sounds enticing, but the complexity of market timing as well as buying, and selling across different regions raises serious challenges. We'll take a close look at the financial impact, risks, and rewards of both strategies. I'll guide you through key assumptions, including tax implications and property growth cycles, while dissecting the true cost of transacting versus holding. Are the potential gains from timing markets worth the added complexity, or does a steady, long-term approach deliver better outcomes in the end?
