Today when I was listening to an agent complain..... I have too many buyers, there is not enough inventory...

What happened to last year -- the complain was "I don't have enough buyers, and there is SO much inventory."

Is there a happy median? Are we ever satisfied?

We should be - does it really matter if there is too much or too little inventory? NOPE - it is what it is - the market is the market. So now it's up to you to make it what you want it to be.

Too many buyer, too few buyers - this you CAN control. Too many buyers, refer them to someone in your office, that is a far better alternative ( a referral fee) than to let them find someone else. Too few buyer -- get out there and find them. Blog on Active Rain, do whatever you do best to attract buyers, and do it to mastery.

Is it a Buyer's Market or a Seller's Market? This questions was recently asked me via a "Twitter"

My answer is YES! YES! YES!

This is especially true in my local area of Tracy, Mountain House and the Central Valley of California.

The buyer opportunities are amazing, interest rates are the lowest they have ever been in history. Prices are at an 15 year low. Why shouldn't buyers be buying?

As to Sellers, there are so many opportunities for buyers that many buyers are buying. This leads to fierce competition for well priced, maintained 'tier' one properties. Sellers are seeing multiple offers on properties, over asking price is common, and most properties are selling within the first 30 days on the market.

So the SIMPLE answer is YES!

If you're not in the "game" why not? What are you waiting for? If you are a seller looking to sell, Sell LOW, BUY LOW_- you'll make up the difference in what was and what is in no time.

First of all, I would just like to say that I am now affiliated with Connect Realty. After a year with Prudential (which I'm going to miss some of the agents and my old broker), I am sad to say that I have found another brokerage where it is willing to offer a high split than what I am or was getting with Prudential. I like it, when I'm doing most of the hard work and I'm getting most of my commission split.
