sellers' markets
Demand exceeds supply
Sellers' markets are economic conditions where demand exceeds supply, giving sellers the advantage.
In a sellers' market, goods move quickly, prices rise, and buyers compete for limited inventory.
The term appears most often in real estate: It's a sellers' market—houses are getting multiple offers within days.
The opposite is a buyers' market.
