Off-Market
What is the Off-Market?
In real estate, "off market" refers to a house that is not listed for sale. It is usually from a seller not wanting the attention of "regular" agencies and trusting dedicated services like ours to sell their property. This also avoids visits from people that are just curious and don't have a real intent to purchase.
For you as a buyer, the benefits of an off-market listing are twofold. For starters, it gives you access to inventory that fellow homebuyers aren’t seeing. The French Riviera being a particularly hot market, pocket listings are usually the best way to find the "right" property.
Advantages of buying Off-Market
Timing: Owners of off-market properties are usually not in a rush, it also gives buyers more time before feeling pressured to make an offer.
Unique opportunities: Properties are less exposed and therefore can lead to unique buying opportunities. Sellers might be concerned about their privacy or trying to quietly offload the house. In many cases like these, the offer for buyers is unique.
More options: Off market listings increases the number of properties that are potentially available to you. Other buyers being your competition, off-market is a competitive advantage.
