PROPERTY: Impacts of Buying in Overvalued Markets - with Stefan Tsvetkov

In this episode, Rob speaks with Stefan Tsvetkov, the founder of Realty Quant. A company that brings data-driven and quantitative techniques to the real estate industry. Stefan explains, in-depth, how economic crises impact housing markets. Explaining things like why the crash takes years to pan out and unfolds very differently in overvalued areas than it does in undervalued markets.   They also discuss what type of data gathering and analysis tasks can be automated. As well as talking about the impact demographics is having on the market in both the long and short term.     KEY TAKEAWAYS   Automating data analysis is a highly effective way to glean and gain valuable insight from that data. Stefan automates underwriting, valuation, and some aspects of the marketing processes. Usually buying in areas with shrinking populations is not wise. The change in age demographics means you might have to shift in terms of which type of assets you buy. Historically real estate crashes take place in slow motion. For example, in the US it took 4.5 years to bottom out. In an overvalued area, the crash, bottoming out process, can take even longer. Stop looking at market prices and conditions nationally. The market is much more nuanced than that, drill down into areas. There are always opportunities, you just need to know how to find them.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Valuing house algorithmically is very, very challenging, but possible.’ ‘There seems to be some overvaluation, in the UK.’ ‘If one just takes pricing commercials and tries to find a deviation from historical levels you can detect the overall prices in the UK.’     ABOUT THE HOST Rob Smallbone the host of The Property Nomads Podcast, is on a global mission to guide your success.
