Buying a house? Selling a house? Whether you’re a home buyer or a home seller, you may want to know whether it’s a buyer’s market, a seller’s market, or a stable market.
In a buyer’s market, home buyers have the upper hand and can drive hard bargains for their dream home.
In a seller’s market, sellers have the advantage and can demand top dollar for their home.
In a stable market, the bargaining advantage is balanced between buyers and sellers.
