A balanced real estate market happens when the number of homes for sale equals the number of buyers. This creates stable conditions—home prices hold steady, and both sides have room to negotiate.  When there are 3 - 6 months of inventory available, we typically call this a balanced market.  

Remember, not every price sector may be the same.  The $200,000-$500,000 range may see balance, but the 1 Million Dollar plus bracket may not due to less demand. Your trusted agent should be well informed on trends within your budget.
