Wow.

But if we look back at the last 50 years, Simon Pressley said that Australian residential, the average house has gone up by 8.2% a year.

And then when I recently had a look, and I shared this with you, the largest 20 markets in the country, each of the capital cities or sunny coast Goldies, Wollongongs, Newcastles, like those big markets, they average, when I looked at them between 2007 and 2000 and sort of '25, like the last 18 years, somewhere between sort of 8 to 17% per year.

Wow.

There's also The Power in the Land by Fred Harrison that looked at 350 years of booms and busts in the UK.

We know that in the last 50 years according to Simon Pressley, even with all these bumps and bruises that we've gone through and all these downturns where property markets are being good and scary and GFCs and COVIDs in markets like this one, the average Aussie property has still averaged 8.2%.

So we know that the long-term history has been strong, and I think the stock market is a really, really nice place to start data-wise because when I look at the S&P 500 index, the collection of the biggest 500 companies in the world between 1927, um, and 2026, we've gotta remember that the average person in super in Australia because of the way that the government, especially now that they've made buying property in super with leverage effectively illegal for now, um, is invested heavily in the stock market whether they wanna be or not.

Um, a lot of Aussies aspire to by, at some point in their life to have a great stock portfolio because of the incredible long-term gains.

In fact, in the next 12 to 18 months alone, the Australian government is expecting rents in Australia to grow by between 10 to 20%.

And if you look at the longer term history of real estate in this country, according to Simon Pressley over there at Propertyology, in the last 50 years the average house price in Australia has grown by an average of 8.2% per annum, which is so much above the 5% that I've given you in today's example.

And so now you've got a super, super simple strategy that you can apply on your own or with our help over the next few years to take you from where you are today to a life filled with freedom and choices.

Now, when it comes to investing, for me personally, I've never really loved the idea of just going out there and buying any property in any market and hoping that it works out over the next 15 years.
