Any easy way to find sellers and buyers markets?

[Keshawn Wade]

Does anyone the best ways to find out whether an area is a sellers or buyers market? Also should I focus on flipping properties only in buyers market? I'm new to real estate investing but I have been studying it for a year and still don't understand those two things fully. I am also trying to find the best city/state to focus on flipping properties with my HMLs.
