What are the specific factors that shape this buyer's market? Number one was supply/demand fundamentals (35%), followed by the difference between bid/ask prices and the availability of investment choices (both garnering 15% of the vote). Lower interest rates got 14% of the participants' nod while the relatively vague "recessionary trends" was cited by 13% of respondents.

And then there was the dire prediction of yet one more respondent: "Sellers are all in denial. Sale prices will be lower two years from now than they are now."
