NEARLY HALF OF THE BEST DEALS DOWNTOWN ARE POCKET LISTINGS, SECRET,  UNLISTED PROPERTIES

With billions of dollars of new infrastructure and improvements in its historic revitalization and renaissance, Downtown Los Angeles is perhaps the most exciting real estate market in the world.  It is no wonder that inventory of lofts and condos for sale is so low that most prospective buyers and investors fail to find the right deal.  There is simple way to find the most hot deals, secret inventory called “pocket listings.”

Have you ever wondered why the best Downtown lofts seem to be sold before you see them? Many of those are pocket listings, properties that are shown to privileged buyers before they are listed on the MLS. Some of the best properties sell before they are ever listed. And many properties that sell within the first few days of a listing were already shown to priority buyers privately before the MLS listing was started. These are called “pocket listings.” This secret inventory of unlisted properties is the biggest secret in Downtown Los Angeles, and accounts for a lot more transactions than most people realize. In fact, nearly half of recent buyers bought pocket listings because, with less competition from other buyers, pocket listings not only provide the best chance of a successful transaction, they are the best, most amazing lofts in Downtown. Take a look at some recently sold properties at http://www.laloftsearch.com and know that more than 40% of those were pocket listings. Priority buyers were able to nab them before the general public, other agents and other buyers ever knew they existed.

 

BUYERS SEE OUTDATED LISTINGS ON ZILLOW, TRULIA, REALTOR.COM AND OTHER SITES

REAL ESTATE DATA IS THREE DAYS OLD OR OLDER ON MOST WEBSITES

Buyers are now seeing only old, outdated listings and wrong information on websites like Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com.   In January of 2014, The MLS created an artificial delay of three days.

It is now more necessary than ever before for buyers to work with a Downtown loft specialist Realtor so that the buyer can receive up-to-the-minute property information on lofts for sale and for lease.

 

The MLS released this notice on January 13, 2014:

 

IMPORTANT NOTICE! 

The MLS™ Announces a New Listing Distribution Policy 

Due to a growing concern among brokers and agents that their valuable listing and sales information is being given away and either sold back to them or to their competitors, The MLS™ is implementing a 48 hour delay on data feeds to third party websites such as Zillow, Trulia, LA Times, REALTOR.com, and numerous third party websites. This policy was implemented to sway consumer traffic back to broker and agent websites. 

The real estate agents at the L.A. Loft Blog have notified The MLS that the artificial delay is not wanted by agents, brokers and members of the MLS.  All sellers and all buyers want to see today’s correct information.  They do not want to see old, incorrect property information on any website.  We are confident that The MLS will reverse this decision and will work instead to deliver timely, up-to-date real estate information to the public.
