The hurt of losing $1 can outweigh the joy of gaining $10 — but it shouldn’t really be the case, according to this property investor and economist.

Dr Diaswati Mardiasmo is no stranger to data, given she plays with it every day. The chief economist at PRD Real Estate returns to the show to give new insight into the numerous market factors currently at play, revealing the many different speeds at play across the breadth of Australia’s markets.

Lifting the lid on her and her partner’s property portfolios — and the arguments for keeping them separate — Diaswati showcases the real-world effects of micro-markets, before shedding some light onto the non-negotiables and locations she is looking into next.
