In a Balanced Market, you won’t find one party favored over another
While hearts may likely be beating with the excitement of selling a home or buying a home, it won’t be beating faster for having a leg up on the other party to the Real Estate sale. The Market is balanced. Smack dab in the middle when it comes to supply and demand. There seems to be enough homes for sale without the detriment to another. You’ll find an inventory level of homes at a 5 to 6 month supply. Battle lines are blurred during a Balanced Market.

In a Buyer’s Market, it’s the home Buyer whose heart is beating the fastest

As a Seller in a Buyer’s Market, the tables have turned from what they were experiencing in a Seller’s Market. Now, it’s the Buyers that are excited from all the inventory of homes they have to choose from. How exciting, so many homes to choose from. Perhaps they’ll be able to find most of what’s on their wish list in a home.

Sellers really need to sharpen their home selling plan now and I mean sharpen. They’ve just realized that they need to make their home shine above their neighbor’s home; the competition. They need to show all of these home Buyers that their home will be the best for them to buy. How do they do it? It involves 5 all important ways:

• They’ll need to plan very well for their home sale that includes accurate pricing.
• They’ll need to not fret about the small stuff
• They’ll need to practice give and take; the practice of compromise
• They’ll need to hire a Real Estate Agent that is a master at marketing online.
• They need to be remarkable!

What do Buyers need to do in a Buyer’s Market?

Music to a Buyer’s ear as their heart beats rapidly; a Buyer’s market. A Buyer is now ruling the roost. Homes for sale are in excess and Buyers are carefully picking out a home they like. No longer are homes in limited supply as seen in a Seller’s Market, but rather homes for sale are plentiful. Where did they all come from as Buyer’s delight in the selection. The level of inventory is now at 6 months or more. If no additional homes were listed for sale, the current inventory would take 6 months or more to sell. That’s an eternity for a home Seller and they’re going to be willing to negotiate if their home isn’t selling.

Buyers can anticipate a lot more of their needs to be met. Buyers now can pick and choose what best fits their needs. They now feel the power to ask a Seller to fix those little items that showed up on the inspection report that they were fearful of asking for in a Seller’s market. They can easily ask for a Seller to contribute towards their closing costs, after all to have some money leftover to buy some new furniture for the home would be ideal.

Whose heart is beating fastest?

In a Seller’s Market, it’s the home Seller whose heart is beating the fastest.
A Seller’s Market is when the supply of homes is not great enough to keep up with the demands of home Buyers. There simply aren’t enough homes for sale. Typical Seller’s Markets have less than 5 months of an available inventory of homes from which Buyers can select from. At any particular time, it measures that if no additional homes were listed for sale, it would take anywhere from 1 day to less than 5 months to sell the homes currently listed for sale.

Sellers are excited in a Seller’s Market, particularly with the thought of being able to sell their home quickly and at or above their home’s list price as home prices are pushed higher! This certainly makes Seller’s hearts beat fast – they’re excited!

Selling a home in a Sellers Market

In fact, did you know that when someone is excited their heart beats over 100 beats per minute? I discovered this interesting fact from Cleveland Clinic reporting. Sell your house in Queens

It’s a time when Real Estate Agents who specialize in representing home Sellers, know that if they secure a new home to sell that has been prepared well and priced right that there’s a very good chance that their Seller’s home will grab the attention of many, prospective home Buyers. The new home showcased can bring in multiple Buyer interest where Sellers can find their home often receiving multiple offers increasing the home’s sales price.

By no means, does this mean that a Seller won’t have to do anything to get their home ready to sell and that the list price doesn’t matter, as the important principles of Real Estate will always matter no matter what the market may be. Sellers will always need to prepare their home before selling and they will always need to price their home correctly if they hope to sell their home quickly and for the most money. The difference in a Seller’s Market is that their chances to sell for at or above list price is at it’s greatest and to be done in the shortest amount of time.

A Seller will find that they will have less to have to “give up” during the home sale when it comes to the Buyer’s offer, inspections and any negotiations. They are the one who rules the roost.
