Oh, you didn't know? Well, where have you been? Under a rock? Hopefully, one you own because if not, property prices are about to make sure you stay there.

Yes, folks, brace yourselves! Property prices are on the rise, again. Just when you thought you could finally afford that dream home, the real estate gods chuckled and said, "Not so fast!"

Every time property prices soar, experts roll out the same old tired explanation: supply and demand. Apparently, there are more people looking to buy than there are properties available.

What a shocker! It's almost like people need places to live! And heaven forbid developers build more housing at a reasonable pace because where's the fun in that? But here's a twist, what if you actually knew where supply was increasing the fastest, potentially keeping prices lower?

The Real Estate Database (RED) Analytics Report does just that. It provides a real time true picture of which locations and districts have rising supply, which agents and agencies are contributing the most listings, and which property categories are seeing the highest demand. So maybe, just maybe, you can outsmart the market before it outprices you.

Ah yes, inflation. That wonderful economic phenomenon that makes sure your money buys less and less every year. The same amount you were saving for a decent three-bedroom house last year? That'll get you a garden shed today. But hey, at least it has ‘natural ventilation' (a.k.a., holes in the walls).

Developers love to remind us that the cost of materials is skyrocketing. Cement, steel, labor, everything is pricier. And, of course, these costs must be passed down to you, the buyer, because who doesn't love spending millions on a property with the same square footage as a shoebox?

Investors and speculators have entered the chat! These cash-loaded real estate moguls are out here buying everything in sight, inflating prices, and then turning around to rent it back to you at a rate that'll have you considering a side hustle selling kidney stones.

Well, you could wait for the ‘market to stabilize' (whatever that means), but let's be real, when has that ever happened? Or, and hear me out, you could get smart about your property search. This is where the Real Estate Database (RED) comes in.

Instead of doom-scrolling through outrageous price listings, let RED do the work for you. Our platform connects you with actual properties within your budget before some investor turns them into luxury Airbnbs. We even have a dedicated section for ‘affordable properties' (if those still exist) and advanced search filters to help you find something before it's completely out of reach.

Look, we're not saying you should panic-buy a house today, but we're also not not saying that. Because at the rate things are going, next year's property prices will make today's seem like a Black Friday sale.

So, if you're tired of waiting and watching prices soar, head over to Real Estate Database (RED) and start searching. You might just find something before prices jump again. Or don't… and keep renting that overpriced studio apartment. Your choice!
