Akhil Patel - The 18.6 Year Property Cycle & How it will Make or Break Your Property Investing

Ah, the 18.6-year property cycle, super interesting concept for those in the property investment game!

Let's break it down.

Imagine property cycle as the hour hand of a clock, taking 18.6 hours (years) to complete a full rotation. Each hour represents a different phase of the market's rise and fall.

Here's how it typically plays out:

• Recovery Phase (Years 1-7): After a crash, things start off slowly. Prices are low, and it's a buyer's market. Investors who jump in here are the brave souls. Think 2009!
• Explosive Phase (Years 7-14):This is when things heat up. Prices start rising faster, often fueled by easy credit and a booming economy. Think our crazy COVID pump!
• Recession (Year 14): Just like after a big party, there's a hangover. Around year 14, there's often a minor downturn. It's like a warning bell, but it's short-lived and waiting for a real pump to tear through. Think.....right now!
• Peak Phase (Years 14-18): After the little recession dip, the market climbs again, reaching dizzying heights. This is when things can get risky. Prices are sky-high, and there's a lot of speculation......think early 2000s with the dotcom bust
• Crash (Year 18): What goes up must come down. Around year 18, the bubble bursts. Prices plummet, often due to factors like an economic downturn, over supply and a realisation we overspent. It's a tough time for many, but savvy investors know that it's also the groundwork for the next recovery phase.

I bet you're keen as mustard to understand this concecpt futher, even saying "Surely, we're at the peak?".
