Sorry got some catching up to do. Have been busy doing a bunch of things. Kinda funny that its been almost 3 years since my last big aha moment. I was in the process of refinancing at 2.625%. As a self employed person its always tougher to refi even for a small loan. I looked at what I had just done and said to myself, self this is probably your last mortgage and you’ll never refi this loan or sell this home in this life. Then it struck me like a lightening bolt! If I was saying that, then millions of folks across the country were also. It was at that moment I knew the real estate market and just as importantly the industry was on a path to being cut in half.
To answer your question, yes it is an off market transaction and that can be for a number of reasons. These include
seller wants private sale
seller wants quick sale
property was previously on market/didnt sell/agent reached out with interested party even though it was on market
slimey agent tricks
sold during coming soon status
any number of other reasons
IVe been running the weekly number and just need the time to write them up. Hopefully sooner than later
