Is your serene street suddenly jammed with cars because of an open house<\/a> next door? Does a \u2018Sale Pending\u2019 sign materialize on your neighbor\u2019s yard a few days after a \u201cFor Sale\u201d sign appears? Do your friends grumble about how many offers they\u2019ve submitted on homes to no avail?<\/p>\n

If these scenarios ring true, chances are you\u2019re in the midst of a seller\u2019s market. A seller\u2019s market exists when there are more homebuyers than available homes.
