Real Estate Exposed – The week concluding 20 November

Phil Tarrant and Tom Panos discuss the hard-hitting topics relevant to real estate that others might shy away from.

To determine whether the market has reached the floor on property price declines, Tom and Phil take stock of housing data spanning back 35 years.

While the duo surmised that correction phases unfold throughout an average period in the past, they also underline that Australia is composed of markets within markets that are at different points of the downturn stage — meaning a one-size-fits-all strategy for buying and selling is not feasible.

With that, the duo provides strategies on how investors can navigate the current market and why the best strategy is remaining invested despite the cooler conditions.

They also touch on how regulatory interventions, including state-based stamp duty and land tax reforms and home-buying schemes, are shaping market trends.
