Until very recently, the real estate market favored sellers. As the market continues to drop however, the buyers are now holding the power. In order to succeed, agents must be certain they understand all elements of this market.
The real estate market was hot for so long that many agents who entered the real estate industry during this time period do not have any experience with a buyer’s market. Until the recent real estate market crash, the market definitely favored sellers. Homes sold quickly and in many cases homes sold for prices above the listing price. As a result, buyers learned they had to move quite quickly. In fact, it became quite routine for buyers to waive inspections and other basics in a bid to move forward as quickly as possible. These buyers were quite well aware that it was common during this time for sellers to receive multiple offers. In some cases this could easily escalate into a bidding war.
