During a Buyers market the real estate buyer is at an advantage since there is more supply of houses or real estate available for sale than there is demand, thus lowering prices of houses.

This real estate market also allows for buyers to have a better selection of houses to purchase, while allowing more room for negotiating price and terms of the real estate purchase.

Due to the lack of demand for real estate during a buyer's market, prices start to decrease as seller's become more anxious to sell their houses.
