How a Seller’s Market Impacts Your Sale Price

A seller’s market means low supply, high demand and more competition for homes like yours.

In real estate, a seller’s market exists when there are fewer homes for sale than there are buyers. This means that vendors have more negotiating powers than prospective purchasers. Typically, homes do not stay on the market for long periods of time.

A seller’s market will often see homes fetch at, or above, the listing price and auction reserve. This is because the low number of houses for sale drives up competition between potential buyers. A vendor may receive some attractive pre-auction offers as buyers try to purchase before the home goes under the hammer.

Find out what the current market conditions could mean for your sale price with guidance from your local LJ Hooker experts. The LJHooker team offer experience and excellent market knowledge. All of which combine to provide sellers with invaluable insight. For the most accurate assessment of your property’s worth, contact LJ Hooker for a property appraisal.
