Talk "The 4 Cycles of Real Estate: Timing is Everything", by John Darling

Success in real estate isn’t just about what you buy or sell—it’s about when. Learn to read the market’s rhythm and move with precision.

Real estate is one of the oldest forms of wealth creation in human history, yet many investors still underestimate the importance of timing the market. While it’s tempting to assume that property values will always rise in the long run, the truth is that real estate markets move in predictable cycles, and understanding these cycles is key to maximising returns.

In this talk, we’ll break down the different phases of real estate cycles, how to recognise them, and how to position yourself for success at each stage. Whether you’re an investor, developer, or real estate agent, mastering market cycles can mean the difference between a good deal and a great deal. Real estate markets don’t move in a straight line. Instead, they follow a repeating pattern of four distinct phases: Recovery, Expansion, Hyper Supply, and Recession. Each phase has unique characteristics, and savvy investors can identify these patterns to make better timing decisions.
