The Real Estate Espresso Podcast Beginner Series - Understanding Market Cycles
On today’s show we are doing another in our monthly beginner series. The real estate espresso podcast is unlike other podcasts in that most others are focused on a more entry level audience.
Our listeners are sophisticated. Many of you own large portfolios of apartments. But you also have people in your life who are interested in learning more, but maybe don’t have access to high quality information. The idea of sending your spouse to a $199 weekend bootcamp for beginners where they are going to be abused by sleazy sales people sounds unthinkable. So where do they go. Look no further. We are going to dedicate a couple of shows a month to topics that will accelerate the learning for less experienced investors, and might give the most sophisticated investors a new way of explaining a concept that is otherwise complex to describe.
On today’s show we are talking about market cycles. Market cycles are the result of the delay between perception and reality.
The best analogy I can use is what happens when you drive a car. If the delay between turning the steering wheel and the car actually turning was not instant, you would have a tendency to oversteer. You would be continually wavering in your lane because of the delay between cause and effect.
The same situation exists in every market, including real estate. We see it in retail where retailers rush to build inventory in order to get ahead of possible tariffs. But then they are sitting on tons of excess inventory and the manufacturers witness a cycle of feast and famine. Huge orders and then the orders dry up. This pattern repeats itself in many places in the economy.
