  1. Ah, good old BIS Shrapnel. I recall their forecast at the start of 2008 that said prices in capital cities would rise 22% over the period 2008-2010. I’ve not kept much of an eye on house prices, but I’d wager that are roughly the same as they were at the start of 2008, so they’ve got about 6 months to gain 22% for BIS Shrapnel to be right.

    My guess is that they will be wrong, both on their 2008 forecast and their 2010 forecast. I wouldn’t expect them to release any press releases analysing their own actual performance over the past few years.
