Auckland's rampant housing market is reaching staggering levels as sellers and would-be buyers go to new extremes to cash in on the property boom.
In a week when it was revealed Auckland properties were gaining an average daily value of up to $900, a tennis court was put on the market for almost $600,000.
Elsewhere in the region a lifestyle block also sold for $750,000 above CV, just two hours after the new owners saw it - meaning no due diligence was done.
