  • Balanced market: A balanced market is characterized by an equal supply of homes and demand, which typically leads to stable home prices.

    • Example: "The real estate market is currently balanced, with neither buyers nor sellers having a clear advantage."

  • Buyer's market: A buyer's market is characterized by high supply of homes and low demand, which typically leads to falling home prices and buyers having more negotiating power.

    • Example: "The real estate market is currently a buyer's market, with buyers having more choices and negotiating leverage."

  • Seller's market: A seller's market is characterized by high demand for homes and low supply, which typically leads to rising home prices and sellers having more negotiating power.
