The real estate market is always changing, and whether you're buying or selling a home, understanding current conditions can help you make more informed—and confident—decisions. One of the first things to determine is whether you’re in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market. Here’s what you need to know.

What Is a Buyer’s Market?

A buyer’s market happens when there are more homes for sale than there are people looking to buy. With more options and less competition, buyers can take their time, explore different properties, and often negotiate better terms. In these conditions, you might see price reductions, seller incentives, or longer days on market.
