Wouldn’t it be great if you could predict the real estate market—knowing exactly when to buy low and sell high? While there’s no crystal ball, history leaves clues, and we’re about to break down two of the most powerful real estate cycles that have accurately predicted past booms and busts.
If you're looking to build wealth in real estate, keep reading. By understanding the 18.6-year real estate cycle and Benner’s Cycle, you’ll be able to time the market like a seasoned pro—and of course, Jet Lending is here to help you fund every smart move you make!
Real estate follows a nearly two-decade-long pattern of expansion, a mid-cycle dip, a final run-up, and a crash. Here’s how it has played out in the past:
✅ Peak in 1925 → Crash in 1929
✅ Peak in 1989 → Crash in 1991
✅ Peak in 2006 → Crash in 2008
If history repeats itself (and it usually does), we’re currently heading toward the next major peak around 2030-2032.
Samuel Benner, a 19th-century economist, mapped out cycles of financial panics, good times to buy, and good times to sell. His predictions eerily line up with real estate downturns and booms.
So, what do both cycles say about the next 1, 3, 5, and 10 years? Let’s dive in.
📉 Prediction: The real estate market will experience a slight downturn due to higher interest rates and affordability issues. Sellers will have to adjust prices, and smart investors will find great deals.
💡 Investor Move: This is the time to buy before the next growth phase! If you’re looking to lock in an investment property at a discount, Jet Lending has the financing to help you close quickly and maximize your opportunity.
📈 Prediction: By late 2026 or early 2027, interest rates will stabilize, inventory will tighten, and prices will begin rising again. Demand for real estate will pick up as inflation makes hard assets even more valuable.
💡 Investor Move: Buy in 2025-2026, then watch your property value climb! With Jet Lending’s fast funding and expert support, you’ll be able to scale your portfolio ahead of the next boom.
🚀 Prediction: By 2029-2030, real estate prices will be soaring. The last leg of the boom cycle will drive property values up as demand peaks.
💡 Investor Move: This is the time to sell at peak prices! You want to cash out before the next downturn. If you’re a buy-and-hold investor, consider refinancing with Jet Lending’s tailored long-term loan solutions to lock in your gains.
📉 Prediction: According to both cycles, 2030-2032 will likely bring a real estate correction or crash. Economic slowdowns, rising debt, and possible financial crises could lead to significant price drops.
💡 Investor Move: Sell before 2031, then buy again in 2032-2034 at major discounts. This is where Jet Lending’s rehab and rental loan programs can help you rebuild your portfolio at rock-bottom prices.
Real estate cycles are predictable—if you know what to look for. Here’s your game plan:
✔ 2025-2026: Buy properties at a discount. Use Jet Lending’s fast funding to scoop up deals before prices rebound.
✔ 2027-2029: Hold and build equity. Let the market boom work in your favor.
✔ 2030-2031: Sell at peak prices. Get top dollar before the next downturn.
✔ 2032-2034: Reinvest after the crash. Buy distressed properties and ride the next growth wave.
