In a seller’s market, demand outpaces supply, leading to faster sales, multiple offers, and stronger prices. In a buyer’s market, inventory is higher than demand, giving buyers more choices and leverage in negotiations.

The market balance often shifts based on interest rates, economic trends, and local job growth.
