Seller’s Market
Anytime inventory is as low as it is right now, we experience what’s called a “seller’s market,” meaning that sellers have the upper hand when negotiating because supply is so far below current demand. Although spring and summer are traditionally considered by many to be the best time of year to sell a home, this winter is shaping up to be an excellent opportunity for sellers.
