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 |
|
Implications |
| Buyer's Market |
The supply of homes on the market exceeds demand.
|
|
|
| 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.
