Does it feel like the property market is moving faster than ever?

These days, it seems like the strategies that worked 10, even 5 years ago seem less effective.

It makes you wonder:

What’s really happening in the Australian property market right now?

In this latest episode of Dashdot Insider, we’re answering this question just for you.

Traditional tactics might not be your best bet anymore. We talk about how tech, data, and a mix of solid fundamentals are changing the game, giving investors a clearer picture of where the opportunities are. 

Our guest, Sean Simpson has been in the trenches, investigating more properties than anyone else in Australia. So, when he says the market is fundamentally shifting, it's time to pay attention.

With property prices going crazy, it’s easy to feel like you’re being left behind.

But there’s still a way in.

In the latest episode of the Dashdot Insider Podcast, we’re sitting down with Sean Simpson, Head of Property at Dashdot.

He’s looked at thousands of properties and studied every corner of the market. And what’s he buying for himself?

Units.

If you’re one of those thinking that houses are where the money’s at… it might be time to shake off those old-school biases.

See, the price gap between houses and units is the largest it’s ever been, and units are starting to outpace houses in growth in major cities.

But why? 

Let Sean tell you the details in this episode.

If you’re wondering how to get your foot on the property ladder or secure your financial future, this episode is for you. From discussing liquidity and investment strategies to highlighting the flaws in our monetary system, we've got it all covered.

Goose is BACK! And he’s not happy. 

Why?

Well, if you’ve ever felt like the financial system is rigged against you, you’re not alone. And today we’re lifting the lid on just how broken the system is, and more importantly, what you need to do. 

You see, now, more than ever, it’s simply impossible to save your way to wealth. 

Imagine being able to save upwards of $60K a year and the properties in today's market are still running away from you. It's a crazy game where the rules keep changing, and the real problem? We're short on houses, and the money system is all out of whack!

The way banks lend money without sufficient reserves is a ticking time bomb. 

In this episode of the Dashdot Insider, Goose pulls no punches in venting his frustration at our debt-based monetary system and its impact on property investing. Join us as Goose and Emil break down how this system creates an unfair scenario where the rich get richer simply by understanding and playing the game better.

And if you want strategies on how to secure your financial future in a system that’s set up to work against you, then keep watching ‘til the end. 

Remember: in a world where the money game feels like a puzzle, being savvy about your investments is key to staying ahead.
