How to Compete with “Billboard Agents” in Your Area (on a Budget)
There’s probably an agent in your area whose face seems to be plastered everywhere you look. You’re driving down the road and, boom, you see
Trying to pinpoint when a buyers’ market will happen is nearly impossible. It usually doesn’t happen overnight, and can even be difficult for economists to declare when it “officially” becomes a buyers’ market when one comes along.
But if you’re looking for some signs that a buyers’ market is on the way, here are 4 not-so-technical indicators to keep your eye on:
