What does a seller's market indicate?

  1. Surplus of buyers

  2. Surplus of homes

  3. Balanced buy and sell rates

  4. Decreased property values

The correct answer is: Surplus of buyers

A seller's market indicates a surplus of buyers, meaning there are more buyers looking to purchase homes than there are homes available for sale. This can lead to increased competition among buyers and often results in higher property prices. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they suggest factors that would not be present in a seller's market. A surplus of homes (option B) would indicate a buyer's market, where there are more homes available for sale than there are buyers looking to purchase. A balanced buy and sell rate (option C) would suggest an equal number of buyers and homes for sale, which would also not result in a seller's market. Finally, decreased property values (option D) would also suggest a buyer's market, as sellers would need to lower prices in order to entice buyers to purchase.
