Frequently Asked Questions
BlueBid is a pre-market housing platform where owners can privately explore selling - without listing on the MLS.
Buyers privately pursue off-market homes they won't find anywhere else. Owners get off the sidelines and privately explore selling - without a shot clock. Since we never publish price history or days on market, sellers can wait for the deal that's right for them.
Our mission is ​to save the American Dream of homeownership, and our vision is a home for every qualified buyer.
Not exactly. We do not participate in traditional listing services, and homes claimed on BlueBid do not appear on other real estate websites or the MLS.
Sellers set their price and privately receive buyers' inquiries from a licensed real estate agent. Since we don't publish price history or days on market, sellers can wait for the deal that's right for them.
All homeowners receive a free market value estimate when they claim their home, and a vetted local agent will reach out to provide a detailed market report. This service is complimentary, and there's zero obligation to work with the agent.

BlueBid’s data partners use automated valuation models (AVMs) to produce estimates for homes based on available data and comparable sales. While estimates are data points worth considering, they do not take into account your home’s unique characteristics.
The estimate is not a professional appraisal and should not be viewed as substitute for expert pricing or offering advice, and that's why we partner with local experts – we believe these agents can provide far more insight and pricing expertise than an algorithm!
If you are dissatisfied with your estimate, you have the ability to replace it with your price. The public will never see your estimate on BlueBid, so long as you've provided a price. We show neither estimates nor prices for homes which haven't been explicitly listed on the platform by their owner(s).
When you delete your account on BlueBid via the profile page, your home is removed as well.
We're the first to admit, estimates are far from perfect!
