Why real-time data is critical to your next investment decision

Whether you’re buying or selling property, investors are advised to not rely entirely on spreadsheet data and instead focus on real-time market indicators to make stronger investment decisions.| In this episode of The Smart Property Investment Show, Phil Tarrant and Tom Panos unpack the impact of data latency on investment decisions and why investors should go talk to real estate professionals to get a “barometer” reading on what’s happening in their local markets. They emphasise that with the market in the eye of an interest rate hike storm, investors should not solely focus on price declines as well as the boom-to-gloom narratives but instead zero in on market fundamentals such as listings, financing, and market sentiment in order to emerge as big winners. The duo also flag their forecasts for the upcoming spring selling season, share why investors should not wait on the sidelines for prices to continue declining (or to stage a rebound), and give their interesting take on when is the best time to sell and buy property.
