What is a buyer's market?
A buyer's market occurs when there are more homes available for sale than there are buyers looking to purchase, giving buyers more options and often more negotiating power. In a buyer's market, you’re more likely to find better deals, as sellers may be more willing to negotiate on price or offer incentives to close the sale. This can be a great time to buy a home since you have the advantage of choosing from a wider selection and potentially securing a home at a lower price. Understanding what a buyer's market is can help you make a more strategic and confident decision when purchasing a property.

What is a seller's market?
A seller's market occurs when there are more buyers interested in purchasing homes than there are homes available for sale. This imbalance gives sellers an advantage, often leading to higher prices and fewer negotiations. In a seller's market, buyers may need to act quickly and make competitive offers to secure a property. Understanding what a seller's market is can help you prepare for a competitive buying process and make well-informed decisions.
As your real estate agent, I’ll guide you through the strategies that can help you succeed in a seller's market, ensuring you’re prepared for every step of the journey.
