market balance. A ratio between 15%-25% is a balanced market which favours neither buyer or seller. A ratio below

15% favors buyers (supply is high - demand is low). A ratio above 25% favors sellers (supply is low - demand is high)

The red line shows the condo ratio and the blue line shows the ratio for residential homes.
