Tri-Cities Housing Market Stats for February 2009

That correlates into higher demand for housing, and when you have a dwindling supply coupled with an increased demand, you get a seller’s market.

For many reasons, we don’t want that to happen – sure, sellers would be happy, but not if they’re buying a bigger house after they unload their first place!
