What are off market properties?

Homes an agent sells without an ad on realestate.com.au™ or Domain™.

Buyer's agents have long used them to make low offers. Across Australia, these homes sold for about 3% less than similar advertised homes nearby. That is about $19,000 on a typical home, July 2023 to April 2026. No measured effect on later growth, rent or yield.
