Is Australia heading toward a housing crash or are we simply entering the next phase of the 18.6-year property cycle?
In this episode of The Folio Property Podcast, Reece and Lachlan unpack one of the most talked-about questions in the Australian real estate:
Does the property market really move in predictable cycles?And if so… what does that mean for Australia in 2025, 2026, and beyond?
We break down the four phases of the cycle, the history behind Phil Anderson’s research, how the theory ties into US markets, and what happened in past downturns like the GFC. More importantly, we look at whether Australia is positioned for a fall, why speculation is rising, what the “winner’s curse” phase means, and whether everyday buyers should be worried or preparing for opportunity.
Whether you're an investor, first-home buyer, or simply curious about the future of Australian property, this is a grounded, data-rich conversation that cuts through the noise.
