Get Ahead of the Game: ‘Pre-Market’ Feature Gives Buyers Early Access to Homes

Jitty Team
December 17, 2024

Big news from Team Jitty! We’re thrilled to introduce Pre-Market, our latest feature designed to give homebuyers the ultimate edge in today’s fast-paced property market. Imagine getting exclusive access to properties before they hit major portals like Rightmove or Zoopla. Yep, you heard that right - with Jitty Pre-Market, you can see homes first and act faster.

Timing Is Everything

If you’ve been on the house hunt recently, you’ll know how fierce the competition can be. It feels like homes are snapped up in the blink of an eye, and if you’re not in the know, you could miss out on your dream property. The truth? A surprising number of homes (around 9%) sell before they ever make it onto public platforms. In London alone, as many as 23% of homes are sold “off-market”. That’s nearly a quarter of properties quietly changing hands while buyers without the right connections are left in the dark.

That’s where Jitty Pre-Market comes in. We’re here to change the game by giving you early access to these hidden gems - all in one convenient place.

How It Works (It’s Super Simple!)

  1. Sign up for Jitty Pre-Market – Tell us what you’re looking for: location, budget, property size - all the essentials.
  2. We’ll do the legwork – Our tool gathers pre-market listings directly from estate agents’ marketing emails.
  3. Get tailored digests – You’ll receive one easy-to-read email with early listings that match your preferences, including key details like bedrooms, price, and location.
  4. Act fast – If something catches your eye, you can contact the agent directly with one click. No fuss. No fragmented mailing lists.

It’s like having VIP access to the property market, delivered straight to your inbox.

Why We Built Pre-Market

Let’s be honest: the traditional property search process feels a little outdated, right? Buyers are expected to sign up for endless mailing lists, sift through a sea of emails, and still risk missing out on homes that sell quietly behind the scenes. It’s frustrating, time-consuming, and - quite frankly - broken.

Our CEO, Graham Paterson, said it best:

“The traditional property search process is broken for modern buyers. Our Pre-Market feature fixes this by ensuring buyers see homes before they go public, all in one place. We’re giving them the edge they need to act quickly, without the hassle of signing up to endless mailing lists."

Pre-Market is our answer to that challenge. We’re making the process smarter, faster, and way more convenient - because finding your dream home shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.

A Win-Win for Buyers and Agents

Jitty Pre-Market isn’t just great news for buyers - it’s a game-changer for estate agents, too. Agents can easily reach motivated buyers early in the process, ensuring their pre-market listings get the attention they deserve. For buyers, it means you’re not stuck playing catch-up. For agents, it means better, faster results. Everybody wins.

Launching in East and North London (For Now!)

We’re kicking things off in East and North London, where demand is high, and timing is everything. But don’t worry if you’re house-hunting elsewhere - this is just the beginning. We’ve got big plans to expand Pre-Market to new areas and roll out even more exciting features, including tailored alerts and richer property details.
