As of the end of February, there were fewer total home, condo and townhome sales in Southern & Central Marin in the first two months of 2018 than in the previous two years. And while it’s impossible to say exactly what is causing the low number of sales, it is possible that buyer fatigue following six straight years of rising prices, interest rates jumps, and stock market volatility may all be contributing.
