STOP CHASING THE NEWS: WHY THE "PERFECT" TIME TO BUY IS A MYTH

STOP CHASING THE NEWS: WHY THE "PERFECT" TIME TO BUY IS A MYTH

The headlines say the property market is about to crash. They said that last year, too. The truth is, they will say it again next year. The news media wants you to be scared. Scared people click on stories. But scared people do not build wealth.

If you are waiting for the "perfect" time to buy a home, you are going to wait forever.

Here is the thing about the economy: it never feels perfectly safe. There is always a war, an election, or a crazy interest rate to worry about. Most people let these big, noisy headlines make their decisions for them. They sit on the sidelines, paying rent, watching everyone else make money. They are waiting for a crash that might never come.

The crisp, sharp snap of a morning newspaper being folded in the cold air while the city hums around you.

But really, you need to ignore the noise. The big national news does not matter for your bank account. What matters is the specific neighborhood you want to live in. We don't make plans based on scary stories; we make them based on real data.

When you use the "Data-First" plan, you look at the real numbers. Is there a new train station coming? Are the local schools good? How many houses are for sale on that exact street? Sometimes, when the news is scariest, the competition is lowest. That is your moment to find a deal that fits your math. If the numbers work for you, then the timing is perfect.

Don't let a headline steal your future. Let’s look at the real data for your favourite neighbourhood today.
