Bottom Line: The above statistics point to a neutral market. A seller's market comes into formation when demand exceeds supply for homes. A seller's market is often heard in real estate to describe a shortage of properties in the face of healthy demand. A buyer's market is the opposite situation, where supply exceeds demand and therefore the power resides with the buyer in terms of setting a price. While there are many more homes on the market, prices continue to rise due to demand. Economists seem to think there may be a recession in late 2019 so if you are thinking of selling, NOW may be the time!!
