Welcome to the most important year of this 18.6-year real estate cycle, 2026. It’s a critical year because we are close to the peak of the cycle.

And for this one, I thought I would bring you something memorable. One that will, during your own Christmas break, resonate and percolate around in your mind.

Once again, you just can’t keep him out of the news, can you? Although I assume he isn’t aware of the real estate cycle, this one is truly going to go down as the “Trump cycle”.

As we approach Xmas for the western world, many of you may decide to make the best use of that downtime and read a good book.

This week takes us back to the good old United States of America. For it’s there that we find some very interesting news.

How would you like to work and pay off a mortgage until you’re 104 years old? A rhetorical question – or is it?

Well, well, well. What do we have here? It looks as though we have another signpost for where we are in the current real estate cycle

I am inviting you to upgrade to our Boom Bust Bulletin (BBB) newsletter where you can get to know the cycle better and learn how to practically apply it to your investing.

Something I’ve been waiting for years has just happened. And the fallout will, in a short while, be immense.
