Deal Radar is GoSiteHunt's standing-demand engine for developers and investors. Instead of refreshing portals and hoping to catch a good site the day it lists — by which point every other developer has seen it too — you tell GoSiteHunt exactly what you're hunting for, once. Deal Radar then watches every new off-market development site that owners list direct on the platform and emails you the instant one matches your buy-box.
These are owner-direct listings: subdivision blocks, townhouse and apartment sites, and infill land advertised straight to developers with no agent in the middle. Deal Radar is the buy-side of that marketplace. It does not value the land, negotiate, relay offers or move money — it flags the match and connects you to the owner-direct listing so you can deal with the owner yourself. Plans start at US$49/mo.
A buy-box is the shortlist of criteria that defines a deal you'd actually chase. You set it in a couple of minutes and Deal Radar does the watching. The four inputs that matter most:
Dial those in and you've filtered out the noise. You'll only hear about sites that fit your product, your market and your numbers — and you can run several buy-boxes at once for different markets or strategies.
By the time a development site appears on a public portal, it has already gone through an agent, a campaign and, usually, a competitive process. You're bidding against everyone. Off-market flips that: you see the site while it's still owner-direct, do your feasibility quietly and open a conversation with the owner before the auction dynamic kicks in. Here's the difference in plain terms:
| Deal Radar (off-market) | Waiting for the portals | |
|---|---|---|
| When you hear about it | The moment it lists, owner-direct | After the public campaign starts |
| Who else is looking | Only developers whose buy-box matches | Every developer on the portal |
| Middleman | None — you deal with the owner | Selling agent runs the process |
| Filtering | Pre-filtered to your criteria | You sift manually |
| Competitive tension | Low — quiet, direct conversation | High — open bidding by design |
Deal Radar only works because there's real, standing developer demand behind it — and that's exactly why owners list off-market on GoSiteHunt in the first place. The two sides feed each other:
Because motivated buyers are already on Deal Radar, a site that lists off-market doesn't sit in silence — it reaches the exact developers hunting for it. That's the whole point of the platform: owners advertise direct and keep the commission; developers get first look before the open market. GoSiteHunt is the introduction layer, not an agent — it never values, negotiates, relays offers or handles money.
What is Deal Radar?
Deal Radar is GoSiteHunt's alert engine for developers and investors. You set a buy-box — location, site size, budget and product type — and Deal Radar emails you the moment a matching off-market development site lists owner-direct on GoSiteHunt, before it reaches the wider market. Plans start at US$49/mo.
How is a buy-box different from a portal alert?
Portal alerts fire once a site is already publicly listed and every developer can see it. A Deal Radar buy-box watches owner-direct off-market listings, so you get first look before the open market gets competitive. You define the criteria once and only hear about sites that actually fit your mandate.
Does GoSiteHunt act as my agent or negotiate for me?
No. GoSiteHunt is an advertising and introduction platform, not a real estate agent. It never values a property, never negotiates, never relays offers and never handles money. Deal Radar tells you a matching site has listed and connects you to the owner-direct listing; from there you deal with the owner directly.
Where do the listings come from?
Owners advertise development sites directly to developers through the Sell My Site flow — free to list, no agent, no commission, a flat advertising-fee model. Many owners start by screening their address on What's My Site Worth. Deal Radar watches those owner-direct listings and alerts matching developers.
Is the price a developer might pay a valuation?
No. Any figure for what a developer might pay for the land is indicative screening based on residual land value logic, not a valuation. GoSiteHunt provides screening tools — not valuation, planning, financial or legal advice.
How fast do alerts fire?
Deal Radar sends an email as soon as a newly listed off-market site matches one of your saved searches. The point is speed: you hear about the site while it's still owner-direct, not after it's hit the open market and gone competitive.
Can I set up more than one buy-box?
Yes. Saved searches scale with your plan — from a handful on the entry plan up to a hundred on the team plan — so you can run separate buy-boxes for different markets, product types and budgets at once. You manage and cancel your searches from the off-market area.
Set your buy-box, let Deal Radar do the watching, and get the alert before the market does.
