What is the main focus of this episode on timing the market?
It's The Real Estate Podcast, brought to you by Ray White, the largest real estate and property group in Australasia. And welcome to another episode of The Real Estate Podcast, available on iHeartRadio, also on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast from. Well, the 1st of April has finally arrived, May next month and then June, and you know what happens then? we are getting ever so closer to that cash rate rise. And I've started the day with my food poisoning from last night. So it's going to be a very quiet day for me. But the show must go on, as they say. And in just a moment, Rich Harvey is here from Property Buyer. But first, we better have a look at what's happening with the weather across Australia.
It's the main centre forecast with propertybuyer.com.au. And looking at Sydney, expecting a few showers today and also windy with a high of 20 degrees. Melbourne, partly cloudy, also 20 degrees. Brisbane, fine and sunny with 28. And in Perth, expecting a high of 28 degrees and partly cloudy. We feature market updates, interviews and trends. It's your real estate podcast for breakfast. Well it's another Friday which means another episode from the podcast series Let's Talk Property and this morning we're looking at the phenomenon of FOMO which was a really big factor in the house price boom of 2021 and buyers who didn't enter the market may feel that they missed the boat but those who did pay a premium during the boom more than likely are still going to enjoy capital growth as prices keep going up.
Now the peak growth seems to have passed. Many would-be buyers are re-evaluating the situation, wondering how to get the timing right in the future. Is it possible to time your entry into the market, which is what we're going to look at, or is buying while the market is cooling a good or bad idea? Let's Talk Property, a podcast series with Rich Harvey. To add his thoughts to the conversation, we are joined by Rich Harvey, CEO and founder of propertybuyer.com.au. Good morning, Rich. Another busy week, no doubt for you. Good morning, Craig. Always busy, mate. As a business owner, the clock never stops. This week has just evaporated on me something awful. So starting with the first point, should people try and time their entry into the property market?
I get asked this question again every day, is now a good time to buy? But if you're trying to weigh up future possibilities and balance a whole lot of external factors, you could actually end up getting the timing all wrong. So for me, buying a property, it's really pretty simple. It's when is the time right for you? So if you're buying and selling as a home buyer in the same market, whether you're downsizing, being a tree change or a seed change or just relocating, I'd say do it when your circumstances allow, when you've got the money to buy. So what I'm saying is the planets don't need to be perfectly in alignment to be a perfect buyer's market. If you're trying to forecast the top or the bottom of the market, what we do know, we do know when the top of the market has happened and we do know when the bottom of the market has happened in a past tense.
you know, we can look back and go, you know, during the GFC, it was a particular month and during COVID it was this. But for me as a buyer, I'm actually buying now. So for me, it's when I've got the capacity to buy and when I find the right property, because I'm a long-term buyer, I'm not a trader. If you're a flipper and a trader, then timing is going to be more important. But for the majority of the population that are simply buying and selling a home or buying and selling an investment property, which is a longer term decision, timing is not as relevant in my view. You know, one of the things that I find interesting with this FOMO is this all sort of happened, as we mentioned, over the last couple of years, this FOMO mentality.
And it's going to be interesting with a little bit of a cooler market as to whether that FOMO craziness still happens, you know, still boils.
