In this episode, host Adam Jacobs of Colliers is joined by Amedeo Prete, head of valuation and investment analytics at BentallGreenOak (BGO).
They explore the growing disconnect between appraised values and real market conditions; why Canada’s repricing cycle has been a slow grind compared to the sharp corrections seen in the U.S.; and what that means for fund flows, investor confidence and capital allocation.
What you’ll learn:
- How to identify the real problem with current valuations.
- The governance framework for appraisal accuracy in low-transaction environments.
- Why bifurcation between trophy and secondary assets is reshaping sector valuations.
- How portfolio rebalancing is becoming the new driver of investment activity.
- Why appraisal lag is damaging fund flows and eroding capital allocator trust.
