East Coast States lead nation's property recovery BIS Shrapnel's Residential Property Prospects, 2007 to 2010 Report has shown that Australian's eastern states are leading the housing recovery, as experts predict an upward climb of property prices over the next three years. Angie Zigomanis, BIS Shrapnel senior project manager and the report's author, said that the "high growth in employment is improving household confidence towards investment in residential property". Forecasting the median house prices of key cities, the report explored the price growth, economic conditions and property market performance of each state and territory up to 2010
ASIC warns of scams Have you received any of those "confirm your email details" emails lately? ASIC has just issued a warning that with the rapid change in technology there has been a rush of scams designed to trick people into providing heir personal details as well as paying large amounts for nothing in return. ASIC has provided a list of warning signals including being:
The most effective scheme is the one where they promote high returns on a secure investment. These are called "Ponzi" schemes. Part of the money deposited by investors is used to pay their first dividend or interest payment. The victims think they are on a winner because they have received this high payment - they then invest more and tell their family and friends about it as well. New money arrives with a portion being retained for future dividends/interest payments but no investment is ever made. Technically these scams could go on for years - or until large enough number of investors want their capital back - but usually they fall over because the promoter spends the money too quickly. And a finally tip from ASIC - do not respond to any unsolicited emails for personal details unless you are 100% certain of the source
