Step 1 - Determine What you can Afford

Step 2

Understanding Market Conditions

The Real estate market is always changing.  It helps to understand how market conditions can affect your possition as a buyer.

Following is information regarding market conditions and what they mean.  Your Realtor can provide you with current real estate market conditions and their impact.

Buyer's Market:  The supply of homes on the market exceeds the demand.  This condition allows more time to look for a home and more negotiating leverage.

Seller's Market:  The number of buyers wanting home exceeds the supply or number of homes on the market.  With this condition you may have to pay more and make decisions quickly.  Conditional offers may be rejected.

Balanced Market:  The number of homes on the market is equal to the demand or number of buyers.  This condition is a more relaxed atmosphere with a reasonable number of homes to choose from.
