The trend of pocket listings in the South Bay housing market has been gaining popularity in recent years. A pocket listing is when a real estate agent privately lists a property for sale, rather than advertising it publicly on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). This can be done for a variety of reasons, such as if the seller wants to keep the sale of their property private, or if the property is not in a condition to be shown to potential buyers.
