Let’s dig into why off-market properties are worth considering.
An off-market listing is a property sale that isn’t publicly advertised and refers to homes that are not listed on the MLS, through a listing agent, or listing broker. This means they are not available for public viewing and are not being actively advertised on Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Streeteasy, or any other website online. Off-market houses are often referred to as “pocket listings” because they exist in an exclusive space, only accessible through personal connections or trusted professionals.
Usually, these properties are owned by sellers who prefer anonymity or motivated sellers who need to sell quickly and quietly. Knowing you want a home is only half the battle, it is important to note that these off-market listings should be verified by real estate professionals before making any decisions.

An off-market listing refers to a property that is not listed on Multiple Listings Services and is not being actively advertised.

It is important to verify any off-market properties with a trusted local real estate agent before making a purchase.
In real estate, distressed property refers to a property that is in disrepair, has been abandoned, or when the owner of the property is in a financially precarious situation. These properties are often sold at discounted prices by property owners due to the need for repairs and renovations, or financial expediency requirements.

2. Bank-Owned Property (REO): Properties repossessed from a borrower due to foreclosure and put up for sale by a bank or other financial institution.
3. Abandoned Houses: Properties that have been neglected and left vacant by their owners.
4. Short Sales: Properties offered for sale below the market price when an owner needs to sell quickly, typically due to financial difficulties or distress.
5. Vacant Lots: Land parcels that are not being developed or sold due to a lack of demand from potential buyers.
6. Tax Lien Property: Properties that have unpaid taxes and are sold at auction by the government to recoup funds.
7. Probate Property: Real estate owned by a deceased person being transferred to beneficiaries or heirs after probate court proceedings.
