Compared to just 18 months ago, I've noticed a big drop in the number of unsolicited mailings & phone calls that I get from people wanting to buy my rentals. I'm not sure if they are cutting back in general or if they've figured out that I not interested in selling. I haven't bothered to track them very closely but I still see a good number of ownership transfers for multis still happening. It could be people just moving ownership titles from one entity to another or it could be actual legitimate purchases. I have seen a huge increase in the number of SFDs for sale & actually sold for amazingly high prices even for my area. --71.184.xxx.xx

There are realtors that specialize in selling units. I know of several realtors in the San Fernando Valley that sell only apartments averaging 100 million in sales per year -- that's a 2 million commission in their pockets. Seek out those the have investors that will scoop up your property quickly...doing an exchange. --47.155.xx.xxx

I called the broker I use the other day to list a 3 unit. She said don't even bother because no one is looking at multi' right now. She has several listed already with no bites. May be market specific though. --70.44.xxx.xx

I would concur that it is market specific. My market here is roaring. A good 2 unit will have offers in days. We set an appointment to look at two different buildings within 24 hours of listing and it had offers the seller was ready to accept by the time we got to see it. Both were off market and sold within a few days. If you look at multi’s available on multi listing about half are pending. --70.20.xx.xx

Depending where you are in MA, the multi market is on fire. Please contact a local RE agent who specializes in multi's and have them send you a sold report for the last 90 days --45.19.xxx.x

The condensed version is that there is virtually nothing of any type of real estate for sale in this area. Prices climbing like they are should be tempting people to cash out, but so far, that's not happening. --76.178.xxx.xxx

Western Mass is a hot market for everything right now, not sure about the rest of the state. As suggested, talk to a local realtor. --68.191.xx.xx

In my market it's fairly hot. Not as hot as single family, but still hot. I had my broker list a tri-plex on Monday of this week and it sold in two days at list. No appraisal or inspections sought. Closes in 14 days. --67.7.xx.xxx
