“off-market deals for homes began in late 2025.”
MISLEADING
One source explicitly mentions 'off-market deals for homes began in late 2025'. However, this is logically impossible as 2025 is in the future relative to the reports of sales already happening. This is likely a typo in the source for '2023' or '2024', making the claim technically present in a source but factually nonsensical.
