“Housing markets shouldn’t be leading monetary policy; they’re a response to monetary policy.” — Dr Andrew Wilson

 

Folks, our guest for this week is Dr Andrew Wilson, Chief Economist at My Housing Market, who is sounding more bullish than bearish when it comes to Australia’s property market and overall economic outlook!

To give you an idea, Dr Wilson provides comprehensive property market insights and is a highly-regarded and prolific housing market speaker, as well as a keynote presenter for the Committee for Economic Development of Australia (CEDA) and an appointed housing market expert and adviser to the Federal Government funded Australian Urban Research Infrastructure Network. He’s also a repeat offender on the Couch, gracing us with his invaluable insights all the way back in Episode 87!

Oh, and of course, he also holds a PhD and Masters by Research in Housing Market Economics. Just sayin’.

So if the uncertainty of the property market is sending your confidence out of whack, let’s go up 30ft around the country and see what’s coming up over that hill. You’ll get a sneak peek at some of the regions that might be worth your attention this year, as well as when the interest rate will potentially drop this year, according to the Chief Economist himself.

Spoiler… the Scare Campaign just might lose its edge!

220 | Sell or Hold? The $64 million dollar question.

Folks, “the $64 million dollar question” — and the decision that comes with it — has the potential to either CRIPPLE or COMPLETE an investor’s property portfolio…!!

And the expensive and decisive question is this…

“Should I sell or hold onto my property?”

Who knows, maybe YOU are currently mulling of this exactly question right now? Or maybe you’ve invested in a not-too-great property, but you don’t know if you should keep it? Or maybe, just maybe, you’re like a lot of us… and you simply don’t know how to work out if a property’s got something in the tank — ie. Capital Growth — or it doesn’t.

 

So… how can you work this out?

Well, to help us with the Number #1 Dilemma property investors and home owners have faced since day dot, is none other than the self-confessed “Data nut” himself… Jeremy Sheppard!!

Because if there’s one thing data can do for us, it’s to take the guesswork out of a seriously costly decision an make it a research-backed, conscious one! (We’ve got a surprise in this episode that just might help YOU too — and there’s a link further down if you’re looking for it!)

Of course, for the folks out there who may not have heard Jeremy on the podcast before — he is of course, the better third of the LocationScore Lads (yep, he gets to hang out with us two larrikins riffing on about the best suburb to invest in ALL the time!) 😉

Jeremy Sheppard is one of Australia’s leading property data experts and analysists, having pioneered DSR data, a formula that scores every suburb in Australia out of 100 based on their Demand to Supply Ratio. Oh, and not to mention he is fluent in every property market metric — from Auction Clearance Rates all the way to the “Recycling Costs” we’ll be talking about today!

Hint: it’s got a lot to do with how to answer the $64 Million Dollar Question!
