Welcome to Pathway to Property, a podcast to help everyday Australians on their property investment journey through education, real-life stories, and firsthand investing experiences. On this episode of Pathway to Property, Atlas Property Group director Lachlan Vidler and Luke Clifford dive into how investors can leverage crucial market pressure indicators to guide their investment strategy.

They then discuss how these insights can be utilised to develop both short- and long-term investment strategies.
