Property Hub - Investment Insights & Inspiration Get Invested: 'The Stats Guy' Simon Kuestenmacher on the importance of property demographics
A key quality of great property investors is the ability to read and predict the future. And it's an ability that's more attainable than you may think.
The most successful property investors look beyond the rear-view mirror of past performance, and transport themselves into the future to see how an area, local economy and a property is going to look and change in 15+ years, and not be too distracted by how it looks today.
More than imagination, there is a data-driven approach to this. So where do you get the right data, and how do you know what trends to focus on and what to ignore?
To help us do that, we're joined by 'The Stats Guy' Simon Kuestenmacher who shares his insights on how you can joins the dots using the right data to predict and forecast property outcomes as you build and execute your strategy.
Simon is the Co-Founder of The Demographics Group together with Bernard Salt, providing specialist advice and insights on demographic, consumer and social trends, where his predictive intuition has been finely honed by years of analysing leading indicator data.
In addition to writing regular columns in the New Daily and The Australian, Simon has authored three books, and now hosts the world’s largest Twitter account dedicated to data and his social media posts reach over 40 million people every month leading to his rank as one of the world’s top 10 influencers in data.
