There are already possibilities to do that, for example, hodlhodl.com, which acts just as an offer board and multisig escrow service for pure P2P deals. Not available in USA, though (as a lot of Bitcoin services, due to laws).
Also, in-person Bitcoin meetups are often good place to do that.

LocalBitcoins was custodial, this is not. Seller deposits bitcoins directly into 2-of-3 multisig address of each contract, buyer then get them to his wallet. At no point HodlHodl has full control over any bitcoins of the traders.
