There are a couple of types of markets which you may be buying in, a buyers or a sellers market.
- In a buyers market there are fewer buyers and more sellers, the laws of supply and demand dictate that the buyer may have the upper hand in negotiations. Which can translate into; lower purchase prices, sellers willingness to cooperate with repairs and other contingencies.
- In a sellers market, there are fewer sellers and more buyers, the laws of supply and demand dictate that the seller may have the upper hand in negotiations. Which may translate into; multiple offers, bidding wars, sellers dictating the terms of the purchase.
