    Can anyone recommend any good reports (preferably free) on Aust demographics – i.e current and forecast population trends etc?

    Are any of Bernard Salt's reports good / value for money?

    Thanks!

    I know I should really be touting my own site, but since you have specifically asked, please have a look at:  http://www.retireonproperty.com/whyproperty/property-investing-demographics.html   At the bottom of the article are two useful links, one is to ABS data and the oterh to a Bernard Salt presentation. Please let me know what you think about the article and I will be more than happy to incorporate comments or suggestions. Erik

    Get yourself to the university library and put your hands on one of BIS Shrapnel's reports, they are not cheap if you were to subscribe. Like all forecasts, they become dramatically inaccurate after a few years.

    If all else fails, the ABS website is useful.

    Hi Erik,
    Great site! Thanks for sharing that!

    I take it that it’s still under construction?

    Toni, Kenny,

    Thanks, indeed the site is still very much under construction, it’s taking much more work than I thought it would be. It will take a few more months to get all the articles done.

    I already have many more planned incl. some flash videos and free software if I can get the techi stuff to work.

    If you think there is anything missing, let me know please.

    Kenny, thanks for reminding me, the article on Brisbane prices is drafted, but needs to be checked and then it will be published, couple of weeks away. The graphs are correct though.
