Sold anyway: flagged listings that sold or left the market
Short answer: Of the 91 Empire Flippers listings we tore down, 1 is marked sold, 2 pending sale and 7 no longer in the public marketplace data, as of 25 October 2026. Each is shown with the flags our first pass raised and its last asking price. A flag is a question for the seller, not a prediction, so listings with flags sell too.
How to read this record
- A flag is not a verdict. Each flag is a fact a buyer should check or a question to ask the seller. A listing that sold with flags may have answered them well in calls and due diligence that we never see.
- "Marked sold by DATE" is the first weekly check in which Empire Flippers' public data showed that status. The marketplace does not publish the date of sale.
- No sale prices. Empire Flippers publishes asking prices, not what buyers paid. We show the last asking price we saw and never estimate a sale price.
- "No longer in the data" can mean sold, withdrawn or paused. We do not guess which.
- We do not change a teardown's figures after the listing leaves the market; the teardown stays as it was read.

Questions about this record
Do listings with red flags still sell?
Yes. As of 25 October 2026, 3 of the 91 Empire Flippers listings we tore down were marked sold or pending sale, and 3 of those had at least one flag raised. A flag is a question for the seller, not a forecast that the business will not sell.
Does FirstPass Memo know what these businesses sold for?
No. Empire Flippers does not publish final sale prices, so we show only the last asking price we saw.
How often is this page updated?
Weekly, when we re-read the marketplace data for every listing we have torn down.
FirstPass Memo is independent and buyer-paid. Not affiliated with, paid by or endorsed by Empire Flippers or any seller. Figures are the marketplace's and sellers', as listed, not verified. Informational screening only, not investment, legal, tax or valuation advice.
