069: Timing the Real Estate Market with Robert Campbell

Published: March 26, 2020, 8:25 p.m.

In 2002, Robert wrote the book Timing the Real Estate Market which is the only book ever written that shows investors how to predict the peaks and valleys of real estate cycles with a 85-90% degree of success.

\n

Most notably, Robert\u2019s real estate timing model predicted the top of the 2000-2006 housing bubble within two months of peak prices.

The son of a successful San Diego home builder, Robert worked on his father\u2019s construction sites when he was growing up and to help pay his way through college. He quickly learned that there was far more to real estate than dirt, concrete, lumber and building materials. Early on, he learned that real estate markets are a lot like roller-coaster rides where spectacular climbs are frequently followed by spectacular falls.

Here are the questions I asked during the podcast:

\n\u2022       How does trend tracking work in real estate?
\n\u2022       I have heard that no one can time the market, how can you figure out when to buy and sell?
\n\u2022       Can you share examples of how you were able to time the market?
\n\u2022       What do you see post COVID-19?
