On 4 August 2026 we predicted Pacific house prices would be 0.44% lower by August 2026.
Our stated range was 451.543 to 472.586 — if the method works as intended, the true figure lands inside it about 95% of the time. Verdict due the first FHFA release covering August 2026, when the official figure is published. It has not been graded yet, and nothing on this page can change what was written above.
This forecast is graded against the FIRST figure the publisher releases for August 2026 — the number the market actually saw — and never against a later revision. That rule was fixed on 2026-08-03, before this forecast existed.
Every input the reconstruction used, with the time the publisher released it. The forward-lock check reads these back from the record and fails the run if any of them postdates the lock above — that is what makes "locked before the outcome existed" a checked statement rather than a claim.
