EBS 11: Apples, Oranges & the Ripple Effect | Why Long-Term Outperformance Is a Myth
Episode 11 shows why long term outperformance is a myth. National multi-decade historical data shows extremes fade. Markets converge to the long-term average. The growth leaders of the past become the laggards of the future as buyer focus shifts to better value.
The takeaway is to avoid betting on a permanent edge. But if you must, favour houses over units, old over new, and avoid supply-heavy vacant land corridors.
