What Are Off-Market Properties and How Can a Buyers Agent Help You Find Them?

When searching online for a home in Victoria or Queensland, you are only seeing part of the picture. Many of the best opportunities never make it to the major property sites or open inspections. These are known as off-market properties — and they could be the key to finding your perfect home or investment.

What Are Off-Market Properties?

An off-market property is a home that is available to purchase but has not been publicly advertised. Instead of being listed on real estate websites or advertised with open homes, these properties are sold quietly. This often happens because:

• Sellers want privacy or discretion

• Vendors are testing buyer interest before going public

• The property is being offered to a select network first

While off-market sales are less visible, they are very real — and often represent excellent opportunities for the right buyers.

Why Do Buyers Miss Out on Them?

Most buyers rely on online portals like realestate.com.au or Domain. By the time a property appears there, competition is fierce. Off-market properties, however, are usually shared directly through an agent’s personal network. Without the right connections, it is almost impossible to know these homes are available.
