Investor Competition for Off-Market Residential Properties Increases 35% Since 2024
Data from real estate platform iFinder Offers reveals a significant rise in investor competition within the off-market residential property segment. The average number of bids per submitted property has grown by 35.2% since 2024, rising from 3.64 bids to a year-to-date average of 4.92 in 2026. This trend indicates intensifying activity among the platform's network of over 325 vetted investors. Unlike traditional 'cash for houses' models that typically involve a single buyer, iFinder’s marketplace facilitates multiple competing bids from independent investors. This competitive environment provides homeowners and real estate agents with more options and potentially better terms when seeking speed, privacy, or convenience outside of conventional listing channels.
