What is a “Sellers Market”?

A Seller’s Market is when there is a high volume of property buyers and a low volume of homes, therefore creating more demand for homes. This puts the sellers in an ideal position when it comes to negotiating offers, and often creates multiple offer scenarios and increases home prices.
