Is the federal government playing puppetmaster with your house price? Are they in cahoots with house value sites?

Photo by: Snap@In my monthly net worth update post earlier this week I consider the fact that the federal government may be trying to coax the recession away by bumping up your house price. It would give everyone a happy feeling, possibly woo’ing them out of saving and into spending. What do […]
