EBS 22: Market Cycles | Should You Pivot to a Better Market?

July 3, 2026·20 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Episode 22 examines the claim that investors need to adapt their strategy every time the market changes. We show that while market conditions can affect timing and decision making, they do not change the core principles of successful investing. Using long term capital city data, the episode highlights that there is almost always a market booming somewhere in Australia, even when others are flat or slowing. The real question is not whether the rules have changed, but whether your money is still in the best place. We also break down the practical options when a market begins to level out, including holding, refinancing or selling and reallocating equity into a stronger location. The takeaway is simple. You do not need a new strategy for every phase of the cycle. You need a clear plan, the discipline to follow it, and the ability to recognise when it is time to move on to a better market.   Episode Highlights: 00:00 - Introduction 02:42 - Fake experts pushing a change agenda 05:10 - A common expert claim 06:13 - A professional’s patch 09:44 - Major city booms (30 years) 13:33 - When the market peaks? 18:05 - Conclusion   =============================================================   Got questions or feedback?
