Another year, another fool or forecaster report. 

In this episode, we’ve gathered data and put together a bank scorecard - which banks did a good (or foolish) job of forecasting the property market? Which ones are the most reliable? Is 2022 the year to make a property move? 

Listen in on our discussion on authority bias, world events that affected the property market forecasts, holding bank economists accountable, and heaps more!
