“I’m surprised myself at what the prices are,” he said. “Generally speaking, prices in the reasonably good suburbs are 25% to 50% above CV.”
He said even tired, rundown properties were selling for at least 20% more than their CVs.
“CVs used to be the way you valued properties, you’d say they’re selling for 10% more, now it’s a useless number.”
