Key takeaways

The economic landscape in 2024 has been marked by confusion and mixed messages, creating an ideal environment for strategic long-term real estate investors.

Recognizing that different locations are at different stages of their property cycles, investors can capitalize on emerging opportunities by understanding local market dynamics.

National or state-based property statistics may not accurately reflect specific target markets. It's crucial to delve into microeconomic factors of target suburbs to make informed investment decisions.

I see the current market offering a window of opportunity for property investors with a long-term focus. You see…we are one year into a new property cycle, something that doesn’t happen very often. Not that I suggest you try and time the market- this is just too difficult, and in truth, you’ve missed the bottom which occurred in early 2023. But if the market hands you an opportunity like this, why not take advantage of it?
