In this latest episode of Help Me Buy Podcast, Moxin Reza sits down with Luke Metcalfe, the visionary founder of Microburbs, to explore how real estate data is reshaping the way we invest. From understanding livability scores to the market cycles that drive capital growth, this episode dives deep into evidence-based strategies for smarter real estate decisions.
Luke explains the dynamics of iconic heat maps and using them for predicting property trends, and why factors like crime rates, government intervention, and employment accessibility are critical in determining property values.
We also uncover the hidden risks of confirmation bias and discuss the science of identifying suburbs with untapped potential.
Long-term growth in real estate markets remains steady, but knowing the market cycles is key. Whether you're a seasoned investor or just starting out, this conversation offers actionable insights into how data and smart analysis can transform your real estate journey.
