Redfin Launches Redfin Early Access, Helping Buyers Find Homes Earlier and Sellers Test the Market With More Confidence<\/b><\/p>\n

New survey finds 83% of prospective home sellers are interested in premarketing their home before a broad market debut<\/i><\/p>\n

SEATTLE–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nRedfin today launched Redfin Early Access<\/a>, a new search category featuring homes buyers won\u2019t find on other major real estate sites. Redfin Early Access includes homes that are only on Redfin, plus pre-market listings from Compass International Holdings\u2019 portfolio of brands through the companies\u2019 exclusive national partnership<\/a>. Buyers can now find thousands of Redfin Early Access homes on Redfin.com<\/a>, giving them an early look at homes they can\u2019t find elsewhere, while helping sellers test pricing and demand before a broader market debut.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cA lot of homeowners want to sell, but are not ready to commit to full exposure,\u201d said Redfin Chief of Real Estate Services Jason Aleem. \u201cGiving sellers more control over how they enter the market gives them more confidence. Redfin Early Access lets sellers test the market before going all-in, while giving buyers a first look at homes they won\u2019t find on other major sites. That\u2019s good for sellers, good for buyers and good for a housing market that desperately needs more inventory.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nRedfin Early Access listings do not accrue days on market or publicly display price-drop history, giving sellers and agents the ability to test pricing, gauge buyer demand and refine their strategy before listing more broadly. Redfin Early Access listings get premium placement in search results and are denoted by special icons, so buyers know when a home is unique to Redfin.<\/p>\n

\nAll visitors to Redfin\u2019s site and app can browse Redfin Early Access listings in search results, favorite and share homes, and connect with the listing agent to learn more or schedule a tour. Buyers can save a search on Redfin and get instant notifications for Redfin Early Access listings that match their criteria.<\/p>\n

\nRedfin Early Access launches as a Redfin survey finds that 83% of prospective home sellers<\/a> are interested in listing their home as \u201ccoming soon\u201d before a broad market debut. The April survey of 1000 U.S. homeowners suggests many sellers want a lower-pressure way to test the market. Of homeowners who plan to list their home in the future:<\/p>\n
