Is your Housing Market “seller-friendly”?

In 20 of the 35 largest U.S. metros, market conditions favor Buyers more than they do Sellers, according to Zillow.

California markets have seen the biggest shift toward buyers since last January. San Jose leads the way. Followed by San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Denver.  

Those are the top five markets where buyers will have an easier time navigating the market.

Sacramento ranked #8 on the list…. after Dallas and before Portland.

On the flip side, the Miami, Houston and Pittsburg, PA markets are heating up. (for sellers)
