Understanding Buyer’s and Seller’s Markets

Every investor must understand the difference between a buyer’s market and a seller’s market. Each comes with its own opportunities, risks, and strategies.

What Is a Buyer’s Market?

When supply exceeds demand, buyers have leverage. Sellers may reduce prices, offer concessions, and accept lower offers.

What Is a Seller’s Market?

When demand outpaces supply, sellers hold power. Bidding wars, quick sales, and above-asking prices are common.

How to Profit in Each

• Buyer’s Market: Acquire undervalued assets and negotiate aggressively.
• Seller’s Market: Flip properties quickly or sell existing holdings for top dollar.
