Balanced markets typically have 5-7 months of inventory and homes remain on the market for 30-45 days. In balanced markets, neither buyers nor sellers have significant negotiating advantages. Prices tend to be stable and reflect true market value based on comparable sales.
Pro Tip
Balanced markets let you take your time without pressure. Enjoy the advantage of being able to negotiate carefully.
Example
The balanced market with 6 months of inventory allowed the buyers to carefully evaluate properties without the pressure of bidding wars or rapidly rising prices.
