Through out the Bay Area, but more specifically Silicon Valley and the Peninsula inventory is extremely low and everything seems to be selling as soon as it comes on the market! That is not the whole picture though. Now more than ever, sellers are option out of putting their house on the market, as many of the recent home sales happening with multiple offers and over asking with out ever going on the market.
There are many reason a seller might opt out of MLS, some for personal or privacy reasons, but quite frankly if your Realtor is able to do some pre-MLS marketing you may have offers coming in before you even have time to get there. Title companies are estimating nearly 20% of sales in Q1 2012 were off-market. You may recall our most recent listing in Willow Glen- as an example.
With all of these off-market opportunities being presented to us on a daily basis, we thought we would share! They range in all price points form multi-million dollar single family estates in the hills of Los Altos and Palo Alto to multi-unit income property in North San Jose and everything in between!
