Summary: Last episode, we mentioned about <a title="Investment stock vs Investment grade properties" href="http://www.thepropertycouch.com.au/ep-008-investment-stock-vs-investment-grade-properties/">Investment Stock vs. Investment Grade Properties</a> and following that line of conversation, Bryce and Ben emphasized that some investors are just snatching up investment stocks now because they think that the property market is heating up and hence, are afraid of missing out. So this week, Bryce and Ben talk about understanding the property market trend and buying counter cyclical instead of chasing for properties which is potentially at the peak of their cycle already. This could potentially mean borderless investing for some of us and is especially true in Sydney where the property value seems to have overshoot the fair value.<br> <br> <a title="Core Logic Monthly Housing & Economic Chart Pack" href="http://www.corelogic.com.au/reports/chart-pack.html" target="_blank"></a>What investors also need to remember is that each state has its own cycle but it’s not always easy to determine where the market is currently at. So how do you know if you are buying counter cyclical?
