Your dream house may not be for sale — but you can still make an offer.

Why it matters: With inventory limited and homeowners staying put longer, Philadelphia buyers are running out of options. Unlisted offers a way to pursue homes that aren't on the market.

• The platform also appeals to homeowners wanting to gauge interest in their house without ever having to put it up for sale.

How it works: Unlisted — founded last year by Ohioan Katie Hill — pulls from public property records nationwide and lets buyers join waitlists for homes that aren't for sale, then notifies homeowners that someone wants to buy their house.

• Homeowners can claim the property profile, update photos and details, and start talking directly to potential buyers.
• AI-generated summaries give a rundown of the home's history and analyze trends to help determine what a home could fetch on the current market.

🏷️ Zoom in: Philly home prices were up 3.5% year over year in May, with the median home selling for about $290,000, per Redfin.

• Nearly 27% of homes sold over their asking price, a 1.5-point increase from the same time last year, Redfin says.
• Fewer homes sold last month than at the same time last year, and homes are sitting slightly longer on the market.
• While housing inventory is up from last year, it's still historically constrained — about 42% below 2019 levels, per Homes.com.

By the numbers: It's unclear how many Philadelphians have already turned to the site, as Unlisted couldn't immediately provide market-specific data.

• About 39,000 properties nationwide have been waitlisted on the site since last June, Hill told Axios Richmond's Sabrina Moreno.

✍️ What they're saying: Unlisted is essentially an "electronic love letter" — reimagining the personalized notes real estate agents and buyers have used to persuade homeowners to sell, Kevin Gillen, a Drexel University economist and real estate finance expert, tells Axios.

• The platform may help "improve the matching" between buyers and sellers in one-off transactions, but it's unlikely to "move the market in any meaningful way," Gillen says.

Reality check: These are not private listings — which Hill says sometimes confuses real estate agents who "really think that I'm trying to do something private that doesn't involve them."

The bottom line: Think of the housing market like a nightclub with a long line outside, Gillen says.

• Unlisted may help buyers move closer to the front. But when a homeowner is ready to sell, they'll want "the doors to be open to everyone" to get the best price.

Three dozen Philadelphia bars got the green light for extended operating hours during the World Cup.

Why it matters: These spots could push back last call to 4am throughout the tourney.

By the numbers: The state's Liquor Control Board granted the special permits to at least 36 casinos, bars, karaoke spots, strip clubs, nightclubs and restaurants, as of Friday.

• They're allowed to sell alcohol for two extra hours through July 20.
• They include Craft Hall, Morgan's Pier, Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia, The Barbary, Woody's, Club Risque, and Cellar Dog.

Meanwhile, applications of more than 20 other Philly businesses are under review.

Between the lines: The state agency will approve or reject applications, which were limited to Philly proper, on a rolling basis.

• There's a mandated 30-day waiting period from the time the state receives an application.
• Plus: Businesses also have to post public notices about their application outside their property.

Reality check: Just because a bar has a permit doesn't mean it'll stay open until 4am daily. Check before heading out.
