About Which Way Home

The property market does not exist within a vacuum. Yet buyers commonly maintain a micro-focus on the market within their particular street, city, state or country. Professionals within the industry often succumb to the folly of cruising on autopilot, failing to question the circumstances they find themselves within and failing to see that the emperor has no new clothes.

In truth, property markets are utterly reliant on, and subject to the ebb and flow of the global financial markets. More specifically, the titanic increase in money supply over the last 30 years and the accompanying explosion in the availability of credit has exposed investors to a wicked game of chicken, across a variety of markets. Currently, the property market hangs very precariously on the fate of the global financial markets due to the massive levels of debt accepted by home buyers and investors, so an accurate view of future prospects is essential.
