What does this mean?
A Buyer’s Market happens when there are more homes for sale than buyers to purchase them.
- If you’re buying a new home, a buyer’s market is a great time to make your move. You might be able to get a great home for a lower price than you would in a seller’s market.
- If you’re trying to sell your home in a buyer’s market, it may stay on the market longer than normal due to the large number of available homes. You may also have to lower your listing price and/or make other concessions to get a buyer.
A Seller’s Market happens when there are more buyers than available homes for sale.
- If you’re selling a home, a seller’s market is a great time to sell your home. You are more likely to secure a sale price that’s closer to your listing price, and/or above your bottom line (the lowest price you’d take for your home).
- If you’re buying a home in a seller’s market, remember that the seller has the advantage. If multiple buyers are interested in the same home, trying to get a lower sale price probably won’t work in your favor. It’s usually the highest offer that gets accepted by the sellers.
