An investor owns a townhouse in Altona North, Melbourne, surrounded by what looks like empty land. They're worried future oversupply could kill the property's growth, and they're weighing whether to sell before it happens. Is that concern actually justified?

Junge Ma, Senior Research Analyst at InvestorKit, answers real questions our strategy team and clients bring to the research team, kept anonymous, with the focus on the question behind the question rather than the specific property. This one covers how to actually check oversupply risk using planning documents and building approval rates, and why the property's own underwhelming growth might have nothing to do with oversupply at all.

This is a must-watch for any investor sitting on a property that's underperformed and trying to work out whether to hold or sell.
