Marketing Equilibrating Process
No better way to see the marketing equilibrating process but by evaluating, an economic decision based on a “real life” experience dealing with buying a first home. Within this marketplace, sellers (“suppliers”) offer goods or services for sale and buyers (“demanders”) purchase said goods or services (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009)
The author’s experience with this type of transaction came in 1997 with the purchase of their first home. They were living in Southern California, specifically the city of Whittier (Los Angeles County). They were renting a small 1700 square foot home. The upcoming birth of their first child was bringing new standards to their attention, such as the school system, crime levels in the area, and a better community to raise their child. They knew it was time to purchase their first home. They had already been looking in neighboring cities for about six months prior to learning about the new addition to their family. At the time, the one home that fit their budget and location was a repossessed home in the city of Placentia, California (Orange County).

This situation sets the stage for an inadequate amount of available homes and creates conditions in which choice of purchases based upon poor emotions and restricted options (McConnell, Brue, & Flynn, 2009). The product demand for single-family housing far exceeded the...
