125 (Part 2) | Everything You Need To Know About Picking The Next Hotspot – Chat with Jeremy Sheppard

By The Property Couch July 21, 2017 in Hot Market Tips, Podcast

Did we deliver on the gold in PART ONE?

Jeremy Sheppard, also the Director of Research at Select Residential Property, definitely has a serious knack for data collection and analysis, doesn’t he? (Side note: he actually calls himself the “property-data Nutcase”. Yep.)

Chasing the tail of Part One, PART TWO unpacks the remaining 3 of the 8 fundamental indicators that affect demand and supply.

The last 3 are:

Vendor Discount
Rental Yield
Renters versus owner-occupiers

Yep. Did we warn you that this episode could be quite overwhelming? Stay with us.

It’s been no secret that we’ve been waiting A LONG TIME to share this episode with you because … LocationScore is finally live!!

So, what is LocationScore?

Jeremy met with The Property Couch’s Bryce and Ben back in 2016 and that led to their creation of this online property research tool.

All of the indicators you hear mentioned in this episode are exactly what LocationScore’s algorithm measures! They are the tools that sniff out supply and demand levels of all across the country, changing the face of Capital Growth, and investing, forever!

So, what if we could tell you the suburbs—right down to the specifics of houses and units—that are saturated in scarcity, landing you the BETTER LOCATIONS to increase your chances of making real returns in the long term?

This is what LocationScore, pioneered by Jeremy, Ben and Bryce, has been designed to do for you.

These indicators are the wires that power LocationScore. And with over 15,000 suburbs in the Australian market, Jeremy, Ben and Bryce continue to untangle them for you, hoping to fix the headache of finding investment grade suburbs and, in turn, crucial asset selection.

Let’s be honest: there’s obviously a lot to tell you.

We hope you like this one guys!

25 (Part 1) | Everything You Need To Know About Picking The Next Hotspot – Chat with Jeremy Sheppard

By The Property Couch July 20, 2017 in Hot Market Tips, Podcast

We’ve been building this one up a bit haven’t we? But TODAY is the day we’ve got Jeremy Sheppard on the couch! Jeremy—himself an investor with 16 properties in his own portfolio—explains his years of passion in data collection, analysis and research into the levels of supply and demand (across every market and 15,000 suburbs in Australia). This passion pioneered the DSR Formula and the inception of DSRData.com.au.

How it works (nutshell):

Supply and demand are the only things that affect the future price of any good. If you know the exact level of supply and demand in a market, you can roughly predict its capital growth direction—up or down/making you money, or not.

But how do you identify the level, and how can specific variables influence the market’s movement?

There are 8 proven indicators that measures EXACTLY WHERE demand exceeds supply, honing in on where the capital growth lives.

And in PART ONE, 5 of the 8 key indicators will be explained by the boys. They are:

Stock on Market
Auction Clearance Rates
Online Search Interest
Days on Market
Vacancy Rate (and how to calculate your own vacancy rate)

Just listen. We promise more gold than ever.

So, what is LocationScore?
