If you’re thinking of buying or selling a home in Midland, there are a lot of real estate terms you’ll eventually hear – and one of them is buyer’s market.

But what is a buyer’s market, and what does it have to do with you?

Here’s what you need to know.

What is a Buyer’s Market, and How Will It Affect You?

In a buyer’s market, the situation is more favorable to buyers than it is to sellers – in most cases. That’s not always true, though; there are exceptions to every rule.

A buyer’s market is one in which external conditions (like supply and demand, the economy, and comparable sales in the neighborhood) favor buyers.

What it Means for Sellers

In a buyer’s market, there are typically more homes for sale than there are buyers to buy them. That means you have to go out of your way to make your house stand out, because buyers have a lot to choose from.

What it Means for Buyers

Buyers typically have plenty of inventory to choose from, and sellers tend to be more flexible on pricing when it’s a buyer’s market. That’s because they know they have to compete, and if they want their homes to sell, sometimes negotiation is in order.
