Off-Market Homes in One Ford Road: How Buyers Get In Before the MLS

Buyers get into One Ford Road before the MLS by working with an agent who owners call first, and by being ready to act the day a home is offered. Since January 2025, 7 of the 24 One Ford Road sales in CRMLS were recorded with 0 days on market, and I represented a side on 3 of them.

I live in One Ford Road. When an owner here starts thinking about selling, I want to be the first call, because I often already have a buyer for that plan. That is how 6 Edgewood happened.

What counts as an off-market sale in One Ford Road?

Two kinds of sale get called off-market. A true off-market sale never reaches the MLS, so no MLS can count it. A 0-day sale is entered in CRMLS but the buyer is already in place by the time it gets there. CRMLS can show the second kind, and these are the One Ford Road sales since January 2025:

Which One Ford Road homes have I sold before they hit the market?

  • 20 Gleneagles Dr (Providence), Apr 1, 2025: $6,950,000, full asking price, 0 days on market. I represented the seller and the buyer. It was the highest One Ford Road sale of 2025.
  • 5 Oak Tree Dr (Stonybrook), Mar 7, 2025: $6,000,000 on a $5,995,000 list, 0 days on market. I represented the buyer.
  • 6 Edgewood Dr (Balboa), Feb 23, 2026: $4,300,000, full asking price, 0 days on market. I represented the seller and the buyer.
  • 61 Old Course Dr (Balboa), May 18, 2026: $3,975,000 after 21 days on market. Not a 0-day sale, but the buyer was mine as well as the listing.

The sellers at 6 Edgewood described it this way:

"When we first reached out, I simply asked Brian if he knew of anyone who might be interested in purchasing our home at 1 Ford Road. True to form, Brian already had three qualified buyers he represented on the buy side and promptly brought them through the property. One of those buyers immediately recognized the value of our home and submitted an all-cash offer with no contingencies [...] at our full asking price. It doesn't get better than that." Rob & Jillian F., 6 Edgewood Drive

Do buyers pay less for off-market homes in One Ford Road?

No, and any agent who tells you off-market means a discount here is wrong on the record. The 7 sales with 0 days on market since January 2025 closed at a median 100.0% of list price, and 6 of the 7 closed at or above list. 5 Oak Tree Dr closed above asking. What buyers get is access: the chance to buy a specific plan before anyone else can bid.

How do you get on the off-market list for One Ford Road?

  • Tell me the collection and plan you want, your price range, and your timing. Balboa, Carmel, Summer House, Stonybrook, Providence, and Pacific Heights trade at very different prices; the collection table on my One Ford Road sales and market data page shows the ranges.
  • Have proof of funds or a fresh pre-approval ready. When an owner gives me a window, the buyers who can move that week get the first look.
  • Be ready to see a home on short notice. The 0-day sales above did not wait for weekend open houses.

To get on the list, send me the collection, price range, and timing you want.

Notes on the data

All sales figures come from CRMLS closed sales in the six One Ford Road collections (Balboa, Carmel, Summer House, Stonybrook, Providence, and Pacific Heights) through Nov 3, 2026, and are deemed reliable but not guaranteed; sales never entered in CRMLS, including true off-market sales, are not included. A 0-day sale means CRMLS recorded 0 days on market, and sale-to-list uses the list price reported in CRMLS at close. A side means representing the seller or the buyer, with co-agents counted, so representing both is 2 sides. Agents and offices are shown as CRMLS recorded them at the time of each sale.
