BOUGHT* - Indicates property has been bought. We are a buyer rating company and a buyer advocate company only, and we use the word bought instead of sold to give the website a buyer flavour. We do not buy all the properties listed on this website, in fact we buy around 80 per year in the $1M-$5M range, therefore we often rely on an advertised price or the selling agent to indicate the bought price and occasionally the result may be inaccurate.
