What is the deal with Off Market real estate sales?  I have termed it the “UN” market! This is an UNprecedented phenomenon which seems to be growing in popularity.  Why would somebody not want to expose their home to the entire real estate market through the MLS?  Many reasons can go into this decision. One is having to prepare a home for sale.  Another is the seller may not know where they are going.  In HOT market, its enticing to sell your home for a very nice price, yet the seller would have to buy a home and might need time to find the right home.  A sale on the “UN” market could provide a buyer with the flexibility to provide a seller time to secure another home without having a condition of selling a home.  An “UN” market home sale can work for all parties.  More on this in Part 2 next week………
