Episode 211: Preparation for Buying in 2022 | Meighan Wells, Property Pursuit & Jarrod McCabe, Wakelin Property Advisory

At the end of 2021, the media ran many stories on a market downturn. The problem is, there never seems to be any middle ground with property headlines. It's always either boom or doom. 

What sparked these gloomy headlines? Is the property market really experiencing a downturn? And what does this mean for sellers and buyers in 2022? 

To gain clarity, we’re joined by Meighan Wells of Property Pursuit and Jarrod McCabe of Wakelin Property Advisory. We discuss our outlook on the Melbourne and Queensland property markets, if we should focus on the right time to buy or the asset, and how to best prepare for buying in 2022.
