Listen to Akhil Patel’s appearance on the “State of the Markets” podcast here.

I want to address the current debate concerning Australia’s property market. I have never witnessed such dissonance between the reporting on this subject and the facts as they appear on the ground. Never. There is just so much going on behind the scenes here

News about the UK equity markets is quite bearish. In fact, even real estate is getting a serve of negativity too. But is it true? Should you be staying on the sidelines and waiting this one out?

Can you guess how you could make a fortune in property by not actually buying any property? Maybe you guessed virtual property in the metaverse? That’s a solid attempt if you did. But it’s not correct. This week’s newsletter takes us to Canada.

News from across the globe recently has focused on the fact peak inflation is behind us and that the headline figures are falling. Cue talk of central bankers pausing or even cutting interest rates. But is the inflation problem really behind us?

Good things always come to those who wait. And if, like me, you are an avid student of the 18.6-year Real Estate Cycle, you sometimes can be waiting for a decade or two sometimes! Nonetheless, recent news caught my eye.

An interesting survey recently shed some light on the different housing and urban density habits of a host of modern western economies. I feel this is an important study on many levels. This is why. Not only does it provide evidence of the different views held across these different countries surveyed, but it also gives us some valuable clues as to precisely what type of residential properties will drive future growth. If you are a property investor, I believe being aware of this fact would prove quite a lucrative edge for you.

Will you be ready next time? So, just how bad is this crisis going to get? The first thing you do is know where we are within the 18.6-year Real Estate Cycle. This tells us the true financial crisis that will badly affect global markets is many years away

We are now in a higher-than-normal inflation environment allied with aggressive interest rate raising from global central banks. But what does that mean for you?

As property experts always say: it’s all about location, location, location. Today I’ve provided you with one practical and useable explanation of what precisely that means. There is however so much more involved in the land market that you would do well to know about as we move ever closer to the eventual peak in land values later this decade.
