At R.W. Dyer Realty, we prioritize keeping you informed about the latest trends in our local real estate markets. In the second quarter of 2024, our service areas largely experienced a balanced market, where sale prices closely matched listing prices. Understanding whether the market favors buyers, sellers, or remains balanced can significantly impact your real estate decisions.
- Balanced Market: When the number of homes for sale is roughly equal to the number of buyers, it’s a balanced market. Prices are stable, and neither buyers nor sellers have a significant advantage.
- Buyer’s Market: This happens when there are more houses for sale than there are buyers. Buyers have more options, so sellers may need to lower prices or offer incentives to attract buyers.
- Seller’s Market: This occurs when there are more buyers than available houses. Sellers have the upper hand, often receiving multiple offers and being able to set higher prices.

- Cambridge
- Kitchener
