There are facebook ads almost daily.The competition is fierce.

Even if you did hold the golden key to success what would cause you to want to create your own competition unless you was trying to sell some program, mentorship, or some other benefit from doing so?

This could suggest a shift towards a more balanced market or even a buyer's market, where there is more inventory available and less competition among sellers.The Median Days Homes are On the Market is 18, which is relatively low and suggests that homes are selling quickly in this market.

But I feel the competition is not as much.

Quote from @Jacob Sherman: ground up construction is always much cleaner . in a fix and flip there are many unknows that may pop up after the demo stage is complete  this guy knows what he's talking about. forget fix and flip. new construction also appraises 20% above at least existing depending on age plus land cost is cheaper and less competitive, especially in markets like columbus 

YUp these are all convoluted fantasy land.. 

While it is mainly used for short-term rentals, it may give you some analytics about specific markets such as investability, rental demand, competition, etc. 

Or does no competition mean that the chances are greater of some bookings.

However, with overall sales activity still strong, competition can persist, so be prepared to act quickly on properties you love.The good news for most of my buyers is the market pivot towards buyer's seems to let us negotiate more.

Appraisers aren’t keen to train their future competition - they gain nothing out of it.
