How understanding property cycles can help your property decisions

Matt from Matt Wineera - Thats Real Estate with Matt Wineera

Buying low and selling high is the dream, but it's not always easy to predict property cycles and therefore difficult to “time the market". 🏡

The real key is the time you spend in the market. By understanding the phases—whether it's a slump, stagnation, or upswing—you can make more informed decisions. That said, there are certain advantages to buying during the slump and stagnation phases.

One major benefit of purchasing property during a downturn is that it often allows for more time and strategic decision-making.

On the other hand, buying during the later stages of an upswing can sometimes lead to irrational choices driven by the fear of missing out.

Always do your due diligence and stay within your budget!

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition

Bob Owens Retirement Village

The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.

For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.

What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
