With off-market you never have to deal with bidding wars and you're not hurried. I work for a realtor and we do off-market searches when clients ask for it, often after they put in an offer for something and lose out by multiple bids. All a realtor really has to do is go on the MLS, find someone who tried to sell their house but didn't for whatever reason (expireds) and call/knock to see if they'd be willing to let a buyer check the place out. Sometimes we do letter campaigns. It's extremely time consuming for the realtor. Most realtors are lazy and lack the basic skillset of their own chosen profession. But if you're able to ferret out a competent one, it's worth it. Pretty much every normal person is going to have to do the above to find a house in the future. Any time a normal semi-affordable house comes on the market here (Portland) it's an instant bidding war that puts it back up to $400k.

With off-market you never have to deal with bidding wars and you're not hurried. I bought in a non-trendy neighborhood. I'm a ten minute ride on light rail from downtown. My total property taxes are $810 a year because my house is underassessed. I paid $120K for an 1800 square foot house - no garage or driveway but that's fine, we don't drive anywhere anyway. We have multiple grocery stores within walking distance. I wonder what most of America would pay for what I outlined.

Frankly, Robinhood's existence as an app is all the comedy I require from Robinhood. They advertised it at the end of Welcome to Night Vale once and it took me until the very end of the commercial to realise it wasn't supposed to be a parody. We've stumbled upon the perfect Rosetta Stone of cynicism to correctly interpret the incomprehensibly-stupid events of the modern age and people who are nominally "Yeah, both sides are crooks, we're getting hosed from all ends" are still somehow surprised when poo poo unfolds as it has before and as we've told them it would?
