As the inventory increases, home buyers are having better opportunities in the DC Metro area but there are still many situations where they will face multiple contract competition.

You answered for me.  

We also are in the same predicament and with some of the responses it will not get better soon.

we are an extreme sellers market and buyers have homes under agreement and they're ready to buy...they're all waiting for a home to surface!!!

Primarily a sellers' market but not as extreme as it was.

We are fairly level in St. Louis.  Our buyers had enough as the values were skyrocketing again.  then houses just sat...  Priced correctly they will sell.

Definitely a seller's market in many communities, most of which have less than 3 months of inventory and some less than 2 

Sellers market in about every sense, and about every area. We are just over 4+ months inventory, which my understanding should be around 6 months to be a healthy market.

Through November, we had a little less than 4 months of inventory with shrinking inventory.  I'm betting December will be the same.  

Mostly a sellers market, but slowing down.

We are still experiencing low inventory, but home prices are starting to level out. I would say it's still a seller's market but getting ready to shift.

Lisa - I would say that we are in more of a sellers market. Inventory is not that low, but decreasing, prices are increasing slowly, and homes are selling in a little over 3 months.

Definatly a sellers market in Bellingham!

Absolutely a sellers market with no sign of stopping in Austin. 

Lisa, similar real estate market in Denver, low inventory, and soon as a home comes on the market, sellers see many showings, and we are already seeing multiple offers. 

We are in a low existing inventory situation but are being flooded with new construction. Time will tell!

Good morning Lisa. Almost all of Connecticut would be considered a buyers market.

Lisa Von Domek well, now we are a bit stable - however it is still seller's market for all the towns I work in....

heavy invenory buyers market.  Sigh, since 2008

Definately a Sellers Market in Elkhart, Indiana

Our market is a buyers market.  Would you please send some of your buyers my way? 

Even  and sell

Lisa,
Denver was scorching hot last year but is cooling some. Colorado Springs gets strong attention for the top listings but we are a reasonably balanced market for “typical” listings.

Sellers as well.
