seller's market (A market in which conditions are much better for sellers than for buyers. If sellers are scarce and are in no hurry to dispose of their assets, while buyers are numerous and are under strong pressure to satisfy their requirements quickly, it is likely that prices will be high and that conditions of sale will be favourable for sellers. OE. ▪ Could not a free seaman in Port Philip properly have taken full advantage of a seller's market? ▪ In the world of entry permits and panic it is always a seller's market. ▪ While we see a buyer's market in terms of property, it is a seller's market for the financiers.
