When it comes to property investment, data is a very valuable tool for making informed decisions. However, looking at single data measures can be dangerous, especially when it comes to something as complex as the housing market. To truly understand affordability and sustainability, we need to consider a range of factors and look at the bigger picture.  Take median house prices, for example. This is a commonly used statistic that can give us a general idea of the state of the housing market. However, by itself, it can be misleading.  Folks, in episode 437, we have the perfect guest to help us unpack all things property data, what to look for and the dangers of looking at single data measures.

Not every suburb is worth buying property in. Sure, sometimes data may suggest otherwise, but those “top 10” lists don't really tell you everything. Aside from the market trends and forecasts in the real estate industry, you also have to check crime statistics - no one wants to live in an area where people live in fear! So, how can you evaluate and analyze data (including crime statistics) so you'll know which suburbs to avoid? Today, we have Suburb Trolls' Kent Lardner & Mike Mortlock for a lighter chat about what impacts property prices. We also talk about identifying the suburbs to avoid just by looking at the news, crime statistics, and real data.

Kent's background in Market Research and Data Analytics makes him the go-to person to talk all things demographics, and in this episode Kent and Mike delve deep into the primary drivers of market demand and how understanding these will help inform your property investments.

In the housing market, buyers have been taught that it's essential to rely on data when making decisions. But the truth is, property data can be presented in ways that don't exactly tell the full story.  Sure, the statistics presented to you by “experts” may be real, but are they used correctly or are they “spin” created just for profit? In this Suburb Trends episode, Kent Lardner and I talk about the proliferation of the use of misleading property data, the different ways to measure the housing market, the dangers of relying on numbers without knowing the context, and more!

Property prices rise more rapidly in some suburbs than others and it makes one wonder - what could be behind this movement? Is it purely due to established properties in the area being in high demand, or do building projects & renovations have a hidden impact on price growth?

Mike talks to property research specialist and data analyst, Kent Lardner, about the key metrics he looks to when analysing market dynamics.

On the latest episode of The Property Nerds podcast, self-proclaimed data nerds Arjun Paliwal and Kent Lardner deep-dive into property data and unpack what the biggest trends in Australia's housing markets mean for investors. Arjun, head of research at InvestorKit, and Kent, director of Suburbtrends, highlight what investors can learn about the direction of the market by taking a closer look at inventory levels, rather than just focusing on median house price growth. The nerds talk through some of the biggest questions raised by recent movements in the rural and rental real estate markets? What short-term opportunities do they present, and what are the long-term impacts for rural Australia?

This month we look at year to date data, focusing on how the dramatic price rises of the most recent months may have set the stage for the rest of the year? It has been a challenging time for home buyers and a lucrative opportunity for vendors, but will current market conditions last? How many more times will the buyer's return to the market to try their luck again? Kent Lardner provides key statistical insights on current trends and their inevitable effect on the property market, revealing the full extent of the recent price rises, with 20% of all markets risen in value by 20%. Here's what we covered: How inventory levels and price changes relate. What areas with high supply still saw a positive price change? Any areas with low supply and negative price changes? What is the outlook for the remainder of 2021 What areas will be worth investing in later in the year?

Do you know what the primary dictator of property price movements is? In this episode of The Smart Investment Property Show, host Phil Tarrant is joined by the co-founders of The Property Nerds, Arjun Paliwal and Kent Lardner, to chat about the latest in the property data world. Arjun and Kent reveal why they're confident that the housing market is pegged to interest rates rather than to a calendar cycle. In fact, to prove their theory, Arjun and Kent rehash property growth trends over the last 25 years, calling into question the prevalent belief that property booms every eight to 10 years.

On the latest episode of The Property Nerds podcast, self-proclaimed data nerds Arjun Paliwal and Kent Lardner deep-dive into property data, showing how it all combines to create a picture of a market. Arjun, head of research at InvestorKit, and Kent, director of Suburbtrends, inform listeners of how low inventory levels are a driver of price and a handy hint to know whether or not it's a seller's market.  The nerds show the importance of trends, with even properties in a traditional buyer's market not necessarily showing strong signs of growth. 

On the latest episode of The Property Nerds podcast, self-proclaimed data nerds Arjun Paliwal and Kent Lardner discuss how investors can find the ‘true demand’ for an area by studying the rental market. Arjun, head of research at InvestorKit, and Kent, director of Suburbtrends, discuss the fluidity of the rental markets, the city exodus into regional markets and how investors can use the data to see emerging trends.  The duo scan the country, pointing to the SA3 regions that have been most impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Property Data expert, Kent Lardner from Suburb Trends joins Co-Founder Domenic Nesci to share the key measures he uses to identify and find performing markets to invest in. Kent also reveals the current trends that are affecting the market and how property medians aren't a true reflection of the property values across suburbs.

Kent Lardner & the hosts took a look at the most popular searched suburbs from a year ago and discussed whether being popular then resulted in price increases. The 10 most searched suburbs in Australia were in Sydney and Melbourne and they fit in two buckets, aspirational and affordable. Listen and find out which performed better. Here's what we covered: Why is regional NSW looking strong for both units and houses? Why will the Sydney market always run hot? Where is the mass exodus of Melbournites heading to and what are they buying up? How does an outer edge suburb like Hornsby experience such rapid growth? Who were the owners that saved the Paddington and inner east terrace house? Who will miss out at auction in Melbourne and how are home buyers preparing themselves to purchase?

In this Suburb Trends update, Kent and the team talk shop on the cardinal rule of the Australian property market; that there is not just one market. This being said why is that? What makes property different? The team discusses the differences between the aspirational and the affordable property markets noting why developers choose to offload ‘premium' builds in low socio economic areas expecting to create some hidden growth.Here's what we covered: What's happening in the world of regional property? Where will people be more inclined to move to; a sea or tree change? Connecting the correlation between LMI data and Kent's ‘danger zones' Why quality houses in great locations always outperform units in the same area. What unit markets are currently in danger? How does the LMI risk data highlight low growth areas? What data points don't match up to the high or low performance of an area? Why are developers choosing to create projects in low socio economic areas? Is it the right idea or are they trying to manufacture growth?
