In this month’s report we review why understanding real estate cycles are important for buyers and sellers especially as we transition from a market set for a correction, and what this truly means.


We discover why the predictability of real estate cycles can help understand cyclical trends, while appreciating that there will always be variables that will impact the speed of change and strength of each cycle.


We research why 2023 is expected to return to a more normalized market with short-term cycles seeing typical ebbs and flows with respect to buying and selling trends.

 

How, even though we have moved in the long-term cycle from a Peak Phase to a Recession Phase, the expectations for 2023 are not likely to see a ‘crash’ but instead a ‘correction’ in the level of sales activity and pricing.


We discover the exceptions in this Recession Phase that are preventing a downturn in the market and the factors that could influence opportunities in the current market.


We reveal the contradictions in today’s market that manifesting in local markets experiencing very different results with respect to demand and price.

Equally, we understand how differing demographic demand for location, property type and pricing are expected to impact both choice and decisions in 2023.


Finally, we explore what can we expect, all present conditions remaining constant, in 2023 with respect to pricing, inventory, sales and why ‘value for money’ will become an important part of the decision-making process again.
