Markets we're watching
Markets where the evidence has materially changed or where current conditions are statistically unusual against their own history. This is research direction, not a recommendation list. Australia Property Data does not tell users what to buy. We show what the evidence says, how strong it is, what contradicts it, and what would need to change for the conclusion to change. Every conclusion must be falsifiable.
