Is it really a BAD Market?

Is it really a bad market or just a Buyers Market?

All of our clients who have purchased either a resale, bank foreclosure or new home have been pretty happy with the incentives and results.

Are my Sellers happy? "No" especially if they have to sell. They feel like they are wading out into waist deep waters knowing there are sharks swimming around. If they are not priced close to market most of them are getting offers 20% below asking. So not happy.

In 1999,2000,2001,2002.2003 it was a Sellers Market and Buyers were paying over asking and getting into bidding wars. The Buyers weren't happy when they were buying but in 6 months when they put that home back are the market and Flipped it for a nice profit, they turned into a Seller and they were happy.

Really, is there a Bad market or just a Buyers Market and Sellers Market. The market shifts back and forth almost like one of those wave machines that sits on your desk. It is sure to shift the other way.
