Predictions for Real Estate Markets based on 18-year Property Cycle Theory: The Chinese and Australian markets may correct in 2016, US growth to continue, and Australian election outcome may be influenced by house price trends
The speakers on this podcast are making three predictions for the real estate market based on the 18-year property cycle theory. The first prediction is that the Chinese and Australian property markets will experience a significant correction in 2016. The second prediction is that the US real estate market will continue to experience fast growth in the coming years, despite traditionally seeing slower growth in the first half of the cycle. The third prediction is that the momentum of house price growth in the two years leading up to the May 2015 election in Australia will be a good indicator of which party will win. These predictions are based on the idea that real estate markets follow an 18-year cycle, and each stage of the cycle brings different trends and patterns. While the speakers acknowledge that cycles don't repeat exactly, they believe that these trends are likely to hold true based on historical data and current market conditions.
House prices and political elections: Rising house prices, particularly in London, could impact UK election outcome due to global influences. London may experience a 'wobble' due to Chinese market crash and uneven growth throughout property market cycle.
House price momentum plays a significant role in political elections, and the current rising trend in house prices, which started earlier than expected in London due to global influences, could potentially influence the outcome of the upcoming UK election. The speaker predicts that London will experience a "wobble" in late 2016 or early 2017 due to the Chinese market crash and the detachment of London's property market from the rest of the UK. This global interconnectedness could lead to an uneven spread of growth throughout the property market cycle. Despite some differences in opinion, the speakers agree on the overall trend of rising house prices, which is expected to continue until the mid-cycle correction.
Understanding the unique cycles of UK property markets: London's market is in mania phase, may only plateau, while rest of UK is in awareness or stealth, expected to see price drops
The UK property market is not a monolithic entity but rather a collection of distinct markets, each with its unique cycle. London, in particular, is currently in the mania phase and is expected to experience a soft landing with a potential fall of up to 5%. The rest of the UK, however, is still in the awareness or even stealth phase and will likely see price drops in the coming years. This cycle, divided into four stages - stealth, awareness, mania, and blow off - can help predict the future of various cities in the UK. London, being driven by foreign demand, may only experience a plateau rather than a fall. It's essential to remember that markets are not static and that understanding their unique stages is crucial for making informed predictions.
UK Property Market: Boom and Bust Cycle Continues: The UK property market is forecasted to experience double-digit growth in the 2019-2025 timeframe, with varying stages of growth across different regions. Investors can capitalize on the disparity in growth rates between regions.
The UK property market is experiencing varying stages of growth across different regions, with some areas like Manchester and parts of the North showing signs of mania, while others like the East Midlands and certain parts of the North are still in the stealth phase. The speaker predicts that there is still significant upside to come, especially in the 2019-2025 timeframe, where double-digit growth is expected across the whole of the UK. This growth is expected to continue until a correction occurs, likely in the mid-2020s. The speaker emphasizes that this is not a cause for alarm, but rather an opportunity for investors to capitalize on the disparity in growth rates between different regions. Overall, the market is expected to continue its cycle of boom and bust, but with opportunities for investment throughout.
Understanding market cycles for effective investments: Investors should educate themselves on market cycles to maximize returns, prepare for a severe mid-cycle correction around 2019, and remain brave during market downturns for potential buying opportunities
Investors who educate themselves on market cycles can be more effective in their investments. The speaker predicts a more severe mid-cycle correction around 2019 due to an unusually high number of repossessions. This correction may be delayed by governments trying to keep interest rates low, but eventually, they will rise, causing financial struggles for homeowners. This will result in a buying opportunity for investors, as history shows that the second half of the cycle brings the most growth. Therefore, investors should remain brave and prepared during market downturns, as they are often the best times to invest. The speaker also emphasizes that not all of the UK is experiencing the same property market mania as London, and the media can be misleading.
Understanding the 18-year real estate cycle: The real estate market follows an 18-year cycle with respectable growth outside London for the next two years and challenges for London in a few years. Use this framework to make informed decisions based on various factors.
The media may make sensational predictions about the real estate market, but it's important to look beyond the headlines and consider the long-term cycle. For the next two years, there will be respectable growth outside of London, while London will continue to grow but may face challenges in a few years. This is part of an 18-year real estate cycle. It's essential to use this framework to make informed decisions based on various factors, including global, regional, political, and economic conditions.
