Mississauga real estate market conditions


The real estate market is always changing. It helps to understand how Mississauga market conditions can affect your position as a buyer or a seller. Amit can provide you with current Mississauga real estate market conditions-buyer's market/seller's market/balanced market and explain their impact.

One can experience a buyer's, seller's or a balanced market at the same time. This can be true for different price ranges or types of properties at a given time, e.g. there can be a buyer's market for homes/ condos in a particular price range and a seller's market for another price range. Again, this can be true for different neighbourhoods/ condominium complexes.

 

 

Market Conditions


Characteristics

 

Implications
Buyer's Market

The supply of homes on the market exceeds demand.

 


High inventory of homes. Few buyers compared to availability. Homes on the market longer. Prices tend to drop.

 


More time to look for a home. More negotiating leverage.

 

Seller's Market

The number of buyers wanting homes exceeds the supply  or number of homes on the market.

 

Smaller inventory of homes. Many buyers. Homes sell quickly. Prices usually increase.

 

May have to pay more. 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.

 

Demand equals supply. Sellers accept reasonable offers. Homes sell within an acceptable time period. Prices generally stable.

 

More relaxed atmosphere. Reasonable number of homes to choose from.



The sales-to-new-listings ratio measures the balance between demand and supply. A ratio of above 55 to 60 percent for a sustained period of time points to the seller's market conditions. A ratio below 55 percent is consistent with more balanced market conditions. The buyer's market represents a downward trend in home/condo sales and the sales-to-new-listing ratio of below 35 percent.

If you are thinking to buy or sell your home/condo or a new builder condo apartment in Mississauga, call Amit to know more about the present real estate market conditions- buyers, sellers market, or balanced market that may be at play.
