Off-market does not automatically mean a discount. Sometimes sellers expect a premium because the process is private and convenient. Other times, sellers value speed and simplicity and will accept a fair price to avoid the hassle of going public.
Pricing depends on condition, urgency, location, and how the home compares to recent sales.
To avoid overpaying, you still need comps, inspection leverage, and a clear walk-away point.
The best deals come from strong preparation and fast execution, not guesswork.
