If you're in the market for a new property, you may have heard the term "off market" thrown around. Essentially, an off-market property is one that is not listed publicly on a real estate website (such as realestate.com.au or domain) or advertised widely for sale. Instead, it's offered for sale through more private channels such as personal networks, word of mouth, or private agent listings.

In this episode, we'll explore 15 reasons vendors might consider selling off-market, why it’s important for you to understand this process and the impact it will cause on how you approach the sale and negotiation.

There is a misconception that a vendor must sell their property online to get the best result but that’s not always the case. Not everyone is motivated purely by price and it may be their specific circumstances that make selling off market a much better option.

So why do you need to know all of these reasons why a vendor would sell off market? Because each reason is very relevant for you to know as you need to understand any restrictions on access, if it’s tenanted, if the property is exclusively through one agent or multiple or if there are any predetermined time frames and urgency around selling.

If you're in the market for a new property, it's worth keeping an eye out for off-market listings, as they can sometimes offer unique and exciting opportunities that aren't available through traditional channels. However, it's important to work with a trusted real estate agent who can help you navigate the off-market buying process and ensure that you are making a smart and informed decision.
