housing market
Real estate sector
The housing market is the economic system of buying and selling residential property in a given area.
It encompasses homes for sale, their prices, and the conditions affecting transactions—interest rates, inventory, demand.
The housing market has cooled since rates went up.
A hot or tight market favors sellers; a buyer's market offers more choices and negotiating power.
