The Best Property Deals Aren't Off-Market Right Now | FUNdamental Fridays

Do off-market properties really offer the best value?

In this Friday Fundamentals episode, Shane Pope and Ben Thompson challenge one of the most common assumptions in property buying.

Many buyers believe the best opportunities are hidden away off-market. But in today's market, the guys argue some of the strongest buying opportunities are actually being found on-market, particularly after failed auction campaigns.

Together they unpack:

✅ The difference between on-market and off-market properties
✅ Why vendor motivation matters more than exclusivity
✅ How today's market conditions have changed the equation
✅ Why some off-market buyers may be overpaying
✅ The role of competition and price transparency
✅ How to assess true value before making an offer

They also share a real-world example where a property purchased for $1.175M later received a bank valuation of more than $1.3M.

Because sometimes the best property opportunities aren't hidden from the market.

They're hiding in plain sight.
