Why Your Buyers Agent Might Be Leading You Into a Property Trap

Darwin property prices are up 15% this year. That buyers agent you follow is probably excited about it.

They shouldn’t be.

What you’re seeing isn’t genuine market growth - it’s what we call a “babble” (Buyers Agent bubble location) - a fascinating new phenomenon we’re seeing, when multiple buyers agents pile into the same market without proper research, creating artificial demand that inflates prices beyond what the true fundamentals support.

This week on The Investor Lab, we’ve got our Head of Property, Sean Simpson, back on deck to reveal how well-meaning buyers agents are putting their clients into risky situations - and more importantly, how you can protect yourself.

What you’ll discover:

The Darwin dupe - Why these “hot markets” are actually warning signs of Babbles (Buyers Agent bubble locations)
Not all growth is created equal - The difference between sugar hits and sustainable fundamentals, and the right metrics to looks for
The 20-year buy and hold fallacy - Why market cycles are shortening and timing matters more than ever
Portfolio protection - Why you need ongoing reviews, not just a one-time purchase

Sean will show you real examples of “double whammies” - markets where both fundamentals AND buyers agent activity create dangerous bubbles.

This isn’t about bashing buyers agents (most of them mean well!). It’s about understanding why their model is flawed and what sophisticated investors do instead.

See you on the inside,
