    EBS 29: Be Greedy When Others Are Fearful | Was Buffett Right for Property?

    Episode 29 challenges the way property experts apply Warren Buffett’s famous advice to “be greedy when others are fearful.” Using more than a decade of online search data and decades of historical price movements, we test whether buying into fearful property markets actually produces stronger future growth. The results show the opposite pattern, with markets displaying stronger buyer demand and positive momentum generally delivering better growth over the years that follow. The episode also explains why property behaves differently to shares, including the dominance of owner occupiers, slower transaction speeds and significantly higher entry and exit costs. The takeaway is simple. In Australian property, fear is not automatically an opportunity. The better strategy is to recognise where demand exceeds supply and buy into a seller’s market rather than assuming falling prices are a bargain.

    EBS 28: Buy in an Overheated Suburb? Yes!

    Episode 28 challenges the idea that a property market can become too hot to invest in. We explain why strong buyer competition, fast sales and prices moving above previous benchmarks are not warning signs in themselves, but symptoms of demand exceeding supply. The episode also looks at why some professionals may avoid hot markets, including the difficulty of securing property and the failure of bargain hunting strategies when competition is intense. Using Sydney as a historical example, we show how avoiding an overheated market can create a significant opportunity cost. The takeaway is simple. Hot markets are not the problem. Cold markets with weak demand and little growth are the ones investors should fear. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:48 - Reasons why people label a suburb "too hot" 02:15 - Cold, Goldilocks, Hot 03:35 - What is hot? 04:57 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

    Ep. 59 - How to Analyse a Property Market in 2026

    In Episode 59, Damien and Jeremy revisit how property investors should analyse markets in 2026 and whether anything has fundamentally changed over the past few years. They cover the role of supply and demand, how DSR 3 is used to assess investment potential, why relying on a single metric can be dangerous, and how factors such as population growth, yield, recent data and statistical reliability should actually be interpreted. The episode also looks at how investors can avoid over filtering, how to assess the right property within a strong suburb, and why land to asset ratio still matters when choosing what to buy. Using historical examples, they show how high and low ranked markets performed over different time periods and explain why strategy, price point, time horizon and risk profile should guide how you use the data. The takeaway is simple. Better investing comes from combining the right data, understanding what it actually means and avoiding the temptation to build a strategy around one favourite metric. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:47 - What makes the property market grow? 02:10 - Has anything changed in property market analysis? 04:07 - What's the DSR 3? 07:45 - Can investors rely too heavily on one metric? 11:18 - How much weight should investors put on recent data? 13:39 - How do you know if the data is reliable? 15:36 - How to avoid buying the wrong house in a strong suburb? 25:29 - How has AI changed property analysis? 26:47 - What is the biggest mistake investors make when using data? 32:37 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

    EBS 27: “Investment Grade” Is a Myth

    Episode 27 challenges the idea that certain suburbs or properties are inherently investment grade. We test the claim against long term data and show that affluent areas, premium streets and expensive properties do not consistently outperform cheaper markets over time. The episode also examines risk and yield, finding that so called investment grade markets can be more volatile, offer lower rental returns and concentrate more capital into a single asset. The takeaway is simple. Features such as prestige, lifestyle appeal and street quality may influence price, but they do not guarantee superior growth. What matters most is supply, demand and choosing the right market at the right time. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:48 - Fake expert definition of "investment grade" 02:05 - Investors definition 02:33 - Example of investment grade according to fake experts 03:38 - True investment grade market 06:27 - Capital growth measurements - N.

    Ep. 58: August Property Market Update – PROPERTY MARKET COOLING?

    In Episode 58, Damien and Jeremy break down the latest July market data across Australia and examine where conditions are strengthening, slowing or beginning to shift. They compare houses and units across the capital cities using DSR, market cycle timing, stock on market, days on market, yields and recent price movements, with Darwin continuing to stand out while Perth remains strong but further through its growth cycle. The episode also looks at rising stock levels, softer buyer sentiment and why units are currently holding up better than houses in several markets. The discussion highlights the importance of looking beyond national headlines, with some markets cooling while others still offer strong demand, affordability and growth potential. The takeaway is simple. Property conditions are becoming more mixed, so investors need to focus on the individual market, the data and their own time horizon rather than assuming the whole country is moving in the same direction.

    EBS 26: Demographic Deception | Why the Majority Doesn’t Matter in Property

    Episode 26 exposes how demographic data can be misinterpreted when investors confuse supply with demand. We explain why a suburb containing mostly houses does not automatically mean houses are the most sought after property type, and why the same mistake is often made with family demographics. The episode shows how vacancy rates and stock on market provide a more useful and current view of where demand actually exceeds supply. The takeaway is simple. Do not assume that what already exists is what buyers and renters want most. Measure demand directly and use a broad range of current data before choosing what to buy. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:43 - Golden Rule #1 Supply and demand 01:05 - What does "80% houses" tell you? 05:34 - Family type 07:33 - So, what are we looking for then? 08:55 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

    EBS 25: Yield Focus Mistake | How Chasing Yield Can Hurt Your Investing

    Episode 25 challenges the belief that investors should prioritise high yield and cash flow positive property. We explain why capital growth has a much greater impact on long term wealth, how stronger growth can also lift rents over time, and why targeting unusually high yields can eliminate most of the property market from consideration. The episode also explores when yield should matter more, including retirement and serviceability constraints, and why investors should only chase as much yield as their circumstances require. The takeaway is simple. Yield helps you hold property, but capital growth is what builds wealth. Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:52 - Growth > Cashflow 01:59 - Growth vs Yield 04:10 - 12 Month capital growth vs rent growth 11:25 - Jeremy’s story 15:11 - When yield is OK 16:24 - Gross rental yield 23:22 - Conclusion ============================================================= Got questions or feedback?

    EBS 24: Rent Money Is NOT Dead Money | Rent for Lifestyle, Own for ROI

    Episode 24 challenges the claim that rent money is dead money. We compare owning a home with rentvesting and show why renting where you want to live while investing in a stronger growth market can produce a better financial result. The episode explores tax deductions, mortgage interest, hidden ownership costs and the opportunity cost of buying in a location that suits your lifestyle but may deliver weaker capital growth. We also examine the benefits of home ownership, including stability, control and the main residence capital gains tax exemption. The takeaway is simple. Rent is not wasted money when it gives you the flexibility to invest where the strongest opportunities are.   Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 00:52 - What "Rent" actually buys 04:42 - Tax efficiencies 05:21 - Hidden costs 07:07 - Same timeframe.
