Market Cycles &
Timing
Understanding the property clock — where different markets sit right now, and how to buy at the right point in the cycle.
What you will learn
Four things to understand before you start the lessons.
The four phases of every property market cycle — and how to identify which phase you are in.
Interest rate changes, building approvals, clearance rates — which signal what and how far ahead.
Why the best time to buy is when sentiment is lowest — and how to act with confidence when others are fearful.
Why Perth and Sydney rarely peak at the same time — and how to use this in portfolio construction.
The four phases of the cycle
Every market moves through the same stages.
Not every cycle is identical, but the structure is consistent. Identifying the phase at entry gives you a significant advantage — buying in Phase 1 or 2 versus Phase 3 can represent a 15–25% difference in your entry price.
