As a research analyst on Australian housing markets, and a strong advocate of residential real estate as an investment, I always feel more optimistic when we are in periods of economic disruption – as we are right now.

Recent share market collapses have reinforced once again the relative safety of bricks and mortar - and provided a reminder that real estate often thrives in times of widespread economic disruption.

Recently Australian shares dropped to their lowest levels in months. Although many of those losses have since rebounded, we are undoubtedly in a period of volatility in share markets in Australia and worldwide.

Asian and US markets are going through periods of volatility as fears emerge of a looming recession.

While that’s not good news for those who have shares, it causes me to feel more optimistic about the future of real estate.
