Ever feel like you're navigating the property market blindfolded? You're not alone. Claire Westra, our guest on Dashdot Insider, has been there. She went all-in on a DIY approach, thinking she could handle it solo—until she found herself frustrated with a property in Toowoomba that sat stagnant for a whole year. Her first property investment in Brisbane brought some early success, but when the stock market crash hit, it made her rethink everything. That's when she realised the real cost of relying on emotions and outdated market data. Claire found Dashdot, and suddenly, everything changed. Using predictive data and a team of experts, she stopped guessing and started investing. Her goals shifted, too—from dreaming of a forever home to focusing on building a life that gave her freedom. She's now well on track to early retirement with a thriving portfolio. Claire's advice? Don't go it alone. Get yourself a team—solid professionals who can guide you through the ups and downs. And be open to new strategies, like rent-vesting or even Airbnb. She's learned that with the right support, those big, scary goals start to look a whole lot more achievable.

With property prices going crazy, it's easy to feel like you're being left behind. But there's still a way in. In the latest episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast, we're sitting down with Sean Simpson, Head of Property at Dashdot. He's looked at thousands of properties and studied every corner of the market. And what's he buying for himself? Units. If you're one of those thinking that houses are where the money's at… it might be time to shake off those old-school biases. See, the price gap between houses and units is the largest it's ever been, and units are starting to outpace houses in growth in major cities. But why? Let Sean tell you the details in this episode.

Anyone can make rent and price forecasts. But the ability to predict growth and rental increases accurately is next to impossible. So, how do we do it? Well, for starters, we've got models all powered by machine-learning algorithms. We're talking about crunching numbers and zapping them with AI magic to predict prices 15 months down the road. We're talking confidence intervals, and predictions so accurate they put weather forecasts to shame. And did we mention the accuracy? Our models hit the bullseye within 1%, nearly 75% of the time. We're at 85% accuracy on predicting price shifts, and a whopping 98% on foreseeing the not-so-great ones. But we're not just about numbers and data. We're talking innovation that's turning heads and getting awards. So join us as Julian Mougenot wraps up with all this mind-bending data and insights for Part 3 of our Dashdot Tech series.
