In mid-November, California-based real estate investment firm RanchHarbor announced acquisition of a 112-unit multifamily complex in Boise, Idaho. The company didn't disclose terms but noted that it was an off-market transaction.

That's hardly the first off-market transaction in a pandemic that has seen massive amounts of money, seeking alternative investments, enter commercial real estate. To cite another example: In June, 29th Street Capital announced an off-market acquisition of a 424-unit Class A+ luxury apartment community in a Denver submarket for $134 million. More recently, earlier this month Apple Hospitality REIT acquired a three-asset portfolio off market for $126 million.

Pricing is one clear reason why buyers like off-market transactions.
