In today’s post we will break down what the term “buyers-market” means, and how it affects you if you’ve been planning on buying a home in Orange County.

Buyers-Market Defined  

In the Real Estate market the term “buyers-market” means that current market conditions favor buyers and not sellers.

What causes the Real Estate market to be favorable to buyers?

Low mortgage interest rates, low home prices and a large supply of homes for sale in the region where the buyer wants to purchase a home.

Real Estate agents typically use a scale of six months to define the type of market we are currently experiencing in Orange County or across and other cities across the United States.

What Else Contributes To A Buyers-Market?

Besides great mortgage interest rates there are other factors which can contribute to a buyers-market including: low mortgage insurance premiums, increased speculative construction, demographic shifts, and of course changing economic trends which could force some homeowners to consider relocation.
