With the market's tempo changing at a faster pace than previous cycles, how can investors keep up and ensure they're set up for big wins? In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar analyse how market conditions have changed in the face of rate hikes and shifting trends and look into how the increased accessibility to data and information has changed the cadence of property market cycles. Instead of getting swept up by speculations of an upcoming market crash at par with that during the global financial crisis, the experts called on investors to consume content that will help them better understand their current market position and explain why the market fundamentals are still ripe with investment opportunities. They also try to answer the million-dollar question of when the next property boom will occur and unpack why it may happen sooner than most market observers forecast.
With the market's pendulum neither swinging in favour of buyers or sellers, these experts recommend focusing on capturing investment opportunities that are positioned for long-term and sustainable growth. In this episode, Right Property Group's Steve Waters joins host Phil Tarrant to take stock of the current market dynamics and unpack how a balanced market has changed the game for both sides of the transaction. And while it's currently no one's market, the duo says the right opportunity — combined with the right and research-backed choices — can help investors tame the everchanging beast that is the property market. They also look into the market conditions in markets across the country, explain what trends are underpinning each region and give their forecasts as to which areas will emerge as losers or winners in the post-pandemic era.

Should investors focus on timing the market or time on the market? When it comes to this age-old question, these experts say that the optimal buying and selling windows will depend on an investor's unique circumstances. In this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar unpack property market cycles and why investors should stop viewing it as a clockwork process with specific phases, but rather focus on the different trends and events that drive the market's movement. The trio also emphasise that no strategy is “set in stone” and explain that remaining invested over the long run or trying to profit from turning points in the market will work in favour of an investor, as long as their strategy aligns with their long-term goals, financial position and portfolio. Lastly, the experts underline that good fundamentals will continue to be the tried-and-tested formula to having a successful real estate investment, no matter where the property market cycle is currently at.
What's more important than headwinds is your plan to overcome them. On this episode of Investing Insights with Right Property Group, Phil Tarrant, Steve Waters and Victor Kumar discuss the Australian investing environment presently and how these added financial and geopolitical pressures are impacting investors. The trio discuss the internal factors that investors need to analyse and understand about themselves, their habits, and their motivation behind investing to ensure they can manage different market cycles. They also touch on reactivity versus proactivity, chat about why you shouldn't buy for ego, and reflect on how cryptocurrency has influenced the property investment market.
