Seabrook Island Real Estate For Sale
According to Rocket Mortgage "A seller's market is when demand exceeds supply. In other words, there are many interested buyers, but the real estate inventory is low. Since there are fewer homes available, sellers are at an advantage. In a seller's market, homes sell faster, and buyers must compete with each other in order to score a property."
