Do house prices actually change when there’s an election… or is that just something investors tell themselves?
In this episode, Ed breaks down what really happens in the property market around elections ... and the results might surprise you. You’ll learn:
- Why property sales typically drop by ~10% before an election
- What actually happens to house prices (hint: it’s not what most people think)
- What it means for property investors
The key insight? Elections don’t really move house prices… but they do change behaviour. The opportunity isn’t about timing the election result – it’s about acting while everyone else is sitting on their hands.
