The parts of the game

What separates a good Foresyte player from a great one.

Dollar predictions

Type the number you reckon. Full points if you nail it; linear decline to zero at ±15% off — the standard error of an experienced agent's guide.

Confidence layer

Low / Med / High. High earns 1.25× when right and is punished hard when wrong. Knowing what you don't know is part of the skill.

No-guide bonus

Auctions with "contact agent" instead of a published guide are 1.5× points. The high-stakes picks each week.

Calibration tiers

Platinum / Gold / Silver track your trailing 3-month MAPE. Per-LGA expert badge available.

Aproperty sells for A$1.6m. You predicted A$1.62m with High confidence on a guided auction. That’s 1.25% off → 9.2 base points × 1.25 confidence = 11.5 points.

Same prediction on a no-guide auction at Medium confidence? 13.8 points. The 1.5× no-guide multiplier is why the trophy listings are where the leaderboard gets won.

Get within 15% and you matched expert-level accuracy. Get within 2% and you beat it.
