The private market
How off-market actually works
Three tiers, a handful of people who hold the keys, and one document that opens every door. The mechanism behind the sales nobody sees.
The door
Acquisition Costs
Price, jurisdiction, resale or new build, private or company buyer. The instrument returns transfer taxes in their bands, the notary, the registry, the agent where the buyer pays one, and the all-in figure a bank will ask you to have on the day.
The number between the asking price and the keys, with every band visible.
Loading the instrument.

The numbers
What a house really costs to buy
Sixteen jurisdictions, one ten-million house, and a door that costs anything from sixty thousand to nearly two million. The acquisition cost, line by line.
The places
Residency and property
Where a house still comes with a right to stay, where it never did, and the four markets that have a fence around them. The rules as they stand, and what changed.
