Hi @Ada White, welcome to the Bigger Pockets community!

Nearly everything I buy is off the MLS. I'm absolutely not opposed to buying off market, but I find that when everyone is shopping in one store sometimes the other store has some good sales to attract buyers -- so it is with the MLS in seasons.

As for "buying off Zillow" I'm not quite sure I know what you mean. Zillow Offers isn't in my market yet, so you may be referring to Zillow Owned Real Estate, or you may simply mean homes that show up on Zillow. Regarding homes that show up on Zillow . . . . those should be the same as the homes on your local MLS plus any FSBO, Make Me Move, or Potential Listings that Zillow digs up.

We're glad to have you here, Ada!
