Here’s a caption — LinkedIn chatter up top, then the data:

—

📰 LinkedIn’s been full of takes lately on Compass private exclusives and whether off-market listings actually serve sellers or just serve the brokerage. Lots of opinions, not a lot of local numbers. So I pulled our own East Bay MLS data to see what’s actually happening here. 👇

🏡 Over the last 12 months, **4.06%** of detached home sales in the East Bay closed with zero days on market — meaning they were almost certainly negotiated before ever hitting the MLS.

🏘️ Townhomes: **2.65%**
🏢 Condos: **2.49%**

Detached homes go off-market nearly *double* the rate of condos — probably no surprise given privacy, unique properties, and agent-to-agent relationships driving a lot of those deals. But even at the high end, we’re talking low single digits. The vast majority of East Bay homes are still selling through full public marketing. 📊

Numbers > narratives. Always happy to pull the data on whatever question you’re curious about. 💬

Went out doorknocking today around 574 Broadmoor Blvd — one of my active listings in the neighborhood.

Here’s my take on the “no more cold calling, no more doorknocking” advice floating around social media: it’s bad advice. What those gurus are really selling is content — and doorknocking doesn’t make for flashy Reels, so it gets written off as “outdated.” But real estate is still a relationship business built on showing up. Nothing replaces standing on a neighbor’s porch, answering their questions about what’s happening on their own street, and being a real, known presence in the community.

Digital marketing has its place. But it doesn’t replace putting in the work face-to-face. If you’re in Broadmoor and want to talk about the market, your home’s value, or 574 Broadmoor Blvd — come find me on your block, or reach out directly.
