THE PURE PROPERTY PODCAST: Buy now or wait? Why investors need to rethink their next move

With capital city prices falling and interest rates rising again, investors are facing a difficult choice: take advantage of softer prices or hold back until the market turns.
On The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop speak with senior buyer’s agent Aaron Findlay about navigating the downturn, avoiding the trap of trying to time the market, and knowing when to consolidate rather than buy again.
The trio examine past property corrections, affordable regional Victorian markets, and the yields now available in established locations.

They also discuss the risk of negative equity for buyers who entered Brisbane, Perth, and Adelaide at the peak, and why a seven- to 10-year holding period should shape purchasing decisions.

Glossop and Findlay also explain when investors should stop buying and focus on cash flow, review their existing properties and consider whether each asset still serves a purpose in their portfolio.
