Surviving black swan events

Pandemics, economic downturns, and geopolitical upheavals can create uncertainty in the property market – but good investors should have the resources to ride out the tide. In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, co-hosts Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop unpack the long-term ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic on Australia’s key urban and regional housing markets. The pair discuss how black swan events can create panic in the investment community, driving poor sentiment and reactive decision-making. Phil and Paul turn to history to explain why panic reactions are rarely justified in the broader scheme of Australia’s resilient property market. They also zoom in on the Melbourne property market, and explain why this might be the favoured market for investors seeking sustainable future growth.
