Australians know property. Lotworth is the scoreboard.
An enormous national conversation, and nowhere to keep score. We built one.
The conversation
Open homes are weekend social events. Saturday auction results are sport. Dinner-table chat drops sale prices to two decimal places. The Domain app’s download numbers rival the news. Property is one of the things Australians spend the most time thinking about — partly because it’s the largest financial decision most people will ever make, partly because reading a market is a genuine skill, and partly because we just enjoy it.
The gap
But there was nowhere to express that expertise. You could buy a house — once a decade, millions on the line. You could become a buyer’s agent — career change. You could argue with mates at a barbecue — no scoreboard. The entire spectrum between “talk about property” and “trade property” was empty. Lotworth fills it: a free weekly game where you put your read on the line in dollars, and find out Sunday morning how close you got.
Free, and still useful
Lotworth is free, forever. No premium tier, no subscription, no ads, no payment surface at all. Most free things online are either junk or a funnel into a paid product — this is just free.
The calibration system that earns over time, the per-LGA expertise badges, the methodology page that documents every threshold and weight: all of it is just here, no upsell. Australians love property anyway. Lotworth is somewhere to put what you know.
What this isn’t
Lotworth isn’t a valuation tool, a buyer’s agent, or a betting market. The numbers it publishes are what the calibrated crowd thinks — never what a property is worth. No money on the line, no peer-to-peer wagering, no “shares” in outcomes. It sits deliberately outside Australian gambling regulation; the verbs we use here (predict, reckon, call it) reflect that.
