7 Things Buyers Get Wrong About Off-Market Homes in Alamo Heights
Think off-market homes are some secret list you just need the right password for? Not quite. In Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and Olmos Park, off-market opportunities are real — but they work nothing like the "hidden inventory" buyers picture in their heads.
If you're house hunting in 78209 or the surrounding Tri-Cities and keep hearing about off-market deals, this video is worth 20 minutes before you keep searching the same public listings everyone else is seeing. Caroline walks through why limited exposure isn't the same as invisible, how seller motivation — not marketing — drives most off-market activity, and why relationships with local agents often matter more than any search filter. She also covers a point most buyers miss entirely: off-market doesn't automatically mean a better deal, just a different kind of opportunity, with its own timeline and its own trade-offs.
