Market Pulse – Quarter 4, 2021

Seller’s Market

Presented by IBBA & M&A Source

A seller’s market occurs when demand exceeds supply. There are more interested, active buyers than there are quality deals on the market. In a seller’s market, buyer’s compete in order to win deals. This typically translates to increased values and more favorable deal terms for the seller.

In Q4 2021, seller market sentiment rebounded, setting a new peak in all but the $5M-$50M sector.

“Business confidence, and competition, is high. It’s amazing how fast we rebounded to record levels,” said Anthony Citrolo, managing partner of The NYBB Group. “This is the strongest upwarad swing we’ve seen in any 12-month period.”
