A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding Off-Market Properties
In a competitive market, many buyers believe the key to securing a property is learning how to access off-market opportunities in Sydney. These are the “secret” listings that only people with the right connections seem to be aware of.
Key Takeaways:
- Access to genuine off-market properties depends on strong relationships with real estate agents or working with a well-connected buyer’s agent.
- These relationships provide access to true off-market opportunities that never reach public property websites.
- Not every off-market property is a great deal, so evaluate each one carefully.
- Off-market listings are not automatically good value. Always apply the same level of due diligence you would use for publicly listed homes, and avoid limiting your search only to off-market options.
- There are two types of off-market listings. Only one type is truly hidden. Genuine off-market listings are private and difficult to access. The more common type is simply marketed through agent websites and email lists. Understanding this difference helps you adjust your strategy.

2. How to identify whether an off-market opportunity is worth buying
3. How to buy it and determine the right price if it suits your needs
What Exactly Is an Off-Market Listing?
A true off-market listing is a property for sale quietly, without any public marketing campaign. These listings are the most difficult to find. You need strong relationships with every agent in your chosen area, and they must view you as a serious buyer. Staying top-of-mind is essential. Working with a buyer’s agent is often the most effective way to gain access to these opportunities. We usually secure such properties for clients with no photos, no floor plans, and no online presence, simply through a call from an agent who knows what our clients are looking for.
The Newer Type of Off-Market Listing
A second type of off-market listing has recently become common in Sydney. These properties are listed quietly on an agent’s website and promoted through email lists. They usually include photos and floor plans, which makes them much easier to find. To access these opportunities, you simply need to subscribe to the email lists of all the local buyer agents in your target suburbs.
