In this episode of Brick to the Future, Cam McLellan and Michael Beresford tackle one of the biggest wealth killers in property investing: procrastination.

With Christmas approaching, many Australians tell themselves they’ll “wait until the new year” but that delay often comes with a hidden cost. From rising build prices to increased land values and missed capital growth, this conversation breaks down why waiting can be far more expensive than taking action now.

This isn’t theory. It’s based on real client stories, market data, and decades of experience in the Australian property market.

Key Highlights:

• Procrastination is the silent killer of long-term wealth
• Why “waiting until after Christmas” often costs tens of thousands of dollars
• The two times every year builders typically increase prices, and why December matters
• How rising construction costs push up all property prices, not just new builds
• The myth of the “perfect time” and the “perfect property”
• Real examples of investors who waited and the opportunity cost they paid
• How mindset, not money, is often the biggest barrier to investing
• Why interest rates shouldn’t be the deciding factor in smart property decisions
• The danger of taking advice from people who’ve never invested
• Why taking a long-term view changes everything

Key takeaway:

There will always be a reason not to act, interest rates, the economy, kids, work, life.
But history shows that people who wait for certainty usually pay a much higher price later.

Property isn’t about timing the market perfectly.
It’s about time in the market.

If you've been thinking about investing but keep finding reasons to delay, now is the time to get clarity.
