Buying a property off-market can help you avoid the competition, increasing your chances of securing a great deal.   

You don’t have to take my word for it either.   

Proptrack analysed sale prices for properties sold off-market in 2022, compared to those listed on realestate.com.au, and found that, on average: 

• Houses sell for 4.3% less off-market  
• Units sell for 1.2% less off-market  

PropTrack said that, in dollar terms, this could translate to a discount of more than $60,000 in Sydney and close to $30,000 in Melbourne (see image).  

So you might be wondering how to find the right off-market property.   

Well, that’s where an expert buyer’s agent comes in.
