Off Market Listings
Finding the best property for sale & rent in Boston is often a matter of sorting through dozens of listings to figure out which ones meet the needs of the buyer. While Boston listings may sometimes seem limited, the size of the city means that the perfect place is out there somewhere. Scouring through listings for hours on end is one way to find the right place, but a better solution is to use a real estate brokerage that features off-market listings throughout Boston. Buyers are able to greatly expand their search and find a property that checks all of their boxes when they opt for off-market listings.
About Off-Market Listings
Off-market listings are those that are not being advertised as available for sale. Real estate listings in MA are typically maintained through Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listings, but we often have both rental and sale properties not on MLS. There are many reasons for a property that is for sale to be omitted from listings. Many landlords list properties for rent however are also open to selling their property. It can be harder for buyers to find these premium properties. The easiest way to access off-market listings is to consult with a real estate brokerage that has experience working with Boston property owners.
The Benefits of Off-Market Listings
There are benefits that buyers should consider when they are searching for properties to expand their search for the perfect property.
- Give buyers access to some of the most sought-after properties in the city. Properties that are expected to garner a lot of interest may be kept out of the MLS listings to avoid an influx of offers that may not be serious, and working with a brokerage that can get buyers access to these listings gives them the opportunity to consider premium properties that can meet their needs.
- Listings that will eventually be listed in the future, and accessing these listings now allows buyers to get a better idea of the features of the property and assess fair market value. Buyers are often able to avoid having a bidding war with multiple other potential buyers when they opt for off-market listings.
- Properties that have not been listed through traditional means may not even be on the market yet, but buyers may have their sights set on a particular building or neighborhood. Working with a brokerage that has experience working with property owners in the specific area that buyers are interested in can open up opportunities to make a purchase when the property was not even originally for sale.
- Working with a brokerage that has experience when it comes to off-market properties allows buyers to expand their search well beyond the MLS listings. Looking at properties that are officially on the market limits buyers when it comes to features, location and amenities, but expanding to off-market listings lets buyers dictate what they are looking for in a property before making a major purchase decision. Buyers will not feel that they missed out on seeing all that Boston has to offer when they use off-market listings as a search tool.
- May provide a more accurate description of the property than MLS listings. MLS listings must be entered using a strict format, but off-market listings are not limited by these requirements. The opportunity to use more succinct language when creating a listing means that off-market listings can give a better representation of the features of the property. Unique features can be more adequately described when sellers are not working with strict definitions of the features of the property.
