Cette phrase extraite de votre ST répond à votre question.
Laurence Bourel (asker) Feb 12, 2018:
Suite de la phrase : "Overseas investors began the month as net buyers but by mid-month were sellers on cash andd futures bases".
Daryo Feb 12, 2018:
more context needed if the "real estate sector" was doing so well in January, why would be "Individual investors" so keen on selling/getting out ???? [assuming that "selling the market" wasn't misinterpreted ...]


few clarifications would help:

-- "best performance" of what exactly? Some financial instruments linked to properties? Direct investments in properties?

-- from whose viewpoint is the ST written? What is "best performance" for one party is not necessarily a good thing for all other parties involved ...

Equivalent à l'expression "it's a seller's market".

à l'inverse, en ce moment, Monsieur Hartnett de chez Merill conseille d'investir le marché, "buy the market"

les vendeurs ont été les maîtres du marché immobilier

Les cours sont élevés : les vendeurs fixent les prix. C'est la notion "a seller's market" quand les prix élevés de l'immobilier favorisent les vendeurs. A contrario : a buyer's maket.
