WHY ARE WE SEEING STRONG RESULTS NOW ?

Real estate markets are driven by a number of factors ; however the two basic fundamentals of supply ( the number of total properties for sale ) and demand ( the number of buyers active in the marketplace ) play a significant role in establishing market conditions that favour sellers or buyers . In general terms , when supply is low and demand is high , these conditions are favourable for sellers . Conversely , when supply is high and demand is low , these conditions are favourable for buyers . So what are we seeing now ?
Simply put , we are selling more than we are listing which is creating an undersupply of stock . Combined with sustained levels of unprecedented demand , the property market is firmly favouring those that are looking to sell .
