Buyer’s Market vs Seller’s Market: What’s the Difference?


If you’ve been following real estate headlines, you’ve probably heard the phrases “buyer’s market” and “seller’s market.” But what do they actually mean—and where does North Texas fit in right now?

What’s a Seller’s Market?

  • Homes sell quickly

  • Multiple offers are common

  • Sellers often get top dollar (sometimes over asking)

What’s a Buyer’s Market?

  • More homes are available than buyers

  • Buyers have more negotiating power

  • Homes sit longer on the market

Where is North Texas in 2025?

In many parts of North Texas—Justin, Aubrey, Little Elm—we’re leaning toward a buyer’s market thanks to new construction competition. Meanwhile, areas like Flower Mound and Frisco remain more balanced due to strong school districts and limited inventory.

👉 Takeaway: Whether you’re buying or selling, the key is having the right strategy for your market conditions.
