Contracts
What is a 'seller's market' versus a 'buyer's market' and how does it affect contract negotiations in Nevada?

BA seller's market has low inventory and high demand (buyer competition), giving sellers negotiating power; a buyer's market has high inventory and low demand, giving buyers more leverage✓ Correct
CA seller's market always means prices are falling
DA buyer's market is created by government policy in Nevada
Explanation
In Nevada's dynamic real estate cycles, a seller's market (like Las Vegas experienced 2020–2022) results in multiple offers, above-ask prices, and fewer contingencies. A buyer's market (2007–2011 in Nevada) gives buyers more leverage to negotiate price, repairs, and concessions.
