What does this mean if you are a buyer?

For buyers, a inventory of 2.07 months (compared to 2.34 months in November) shows a strengthening in the seller’s market. Not the best news if you are looking to buy. Sellers continue to have an advantage since there are less homes available. Anything under 3 months of inventory is considered a seller’s market. So those homes that are priced right may get multiple offers. Homes priced correctly relative to location and condition are selling closer to the original list price and selling quickly. If you are serious about an offer, have your agent provide you comparable properties to determine the best price for the house. Asking for seller concessions or making a low ball offers is not a good strategy in a seller’s market. Remember, sellers also know the value of their home in this market. Their agents are keeping sellers updated on recent sales and homes similar to theirs as they come on the market.
