Dallas – November 06, 2026 -- The average number of investor bids per off-market residential property on the iFinder Offers platform has risen 35.2% since 2024, according to the company's internal transaction data.
Bids per property climb for three consecutive years
Average bids per submitted property rose from 3.64 in 2024 to 4.46 in 2025, a 22.5% increase. Year-to-date 2026 stands at 4.92 bids per property, up 10.3% on the full-year 2025 average.
The data covers activity within iFinder's network of more than 325 vetted property investors. The company has received more than 6,500 property submissions since its 2019 founding.
iFinder runs a five-day competitive bidding process for sellers
Real estate agents submit properties on behalf of homeowners, and investors bid independently through a structured process, typically within five business days. Homeowners review the offers with their agents and are under no obligation to accept a bid.
iFinder co-founder Anne Lakusta contrasted the model with "We Buy Houses for Cash" advertising, where sellers typically deal with a single buyer who presents one offer. On iFinder, she said, homeowners can receive competing bids from multiple vetted investors.
The company pitches the platform to sellers who want speed, privacy and convenience. It names divorce, estate settlement and avoiding repairs and repeated showings as typical use cases. Agents access the service through the Certified iFinder Pro program.
Company limits the data to its own investor network
iFinder states that the figures reflect activity within its own network, not the broader national housing market. It plans to keep monitoring investor bidding activity and other transaction trends to track how demand for off-market properties is changing.
