Are we really on the edge of an Australian property crash, or are investors getting spooked by a theory that doesn’t stack up?   In this episode, Junge Ma breaks down why the famous 18.6 year real estate cycle doesn’t hold up in Australia and why relying on century old patterns can lead investors astray.   We look at how modern economic settings, global capital flows and strong local fundamentals shape Australia’s housing market very differently from the U.S. and why data driven indicators give a far clearer picture than predictions of an inevitable downturn.   Whether you're starting out or scaling up, this episode helps you cut through the fear and focus on what really drives the market.     🥇🥇 InvestorKit - Back To Back "Buyers Agency Of The Year 2023 & 2024" Book your discovery call here: https://www.investorkit.com.au/youtube     Connect with InvestorKit:   Website: https://www.investorkit.com.au/ Send your questions to: arjun@investorkit.com.au Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InvestorKit/ Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/investorkit.com.au/ Subscribe to our YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@investorkit3615 Connect with us on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/investorkit/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.       Disclaimer: The information provided in this podcast is general in nature and should not be considered as personal financial advice.
