from The Follio Property Podcast · host Lachlan Delahunty and Reece Beddall

One bank predicts a national house price crash while another forecasts solid growth. In this episode of the Follio Property Podcast, Reece Beddall and Lachlan Delahunty break down every major bank forecast for Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, and reveal which prediction the data actually supports.
