Off-Market Properties: Why They're Worth Your Attention in 2025
Published on
In today's market, finding a good deal feels harder than ever.
Zillow is crowded. Redfin's already stale. And the MLS? Let's be honest—it's where leftovers go to sit.
If you want great margins, better terms, and less competition, you need to be where smart investors live: off-market real estate.
What Are Off-Market Properties?
An off-market property is any home or building that's for sale—but not publicly listed on sites like Zillow, Redfin, or the MLS.
Sometimes the owner doesn't want to list publicly. Other times, a sale is happening quietly behind the scenes—often to save time, stress, or commission fees.
These properties are often sold:
- Direct-to-buyer
- Through investor networks
- By wholesalers
- Or through private referrals
