Real Estate Advisor-April 2018 Market Report Courtesy of Land Title Guarantee CO.
Market Analysis % Change March 2018 vs 2017; We have slipped off last year's record pace: Monetary volume ($86,558,600) in March 2018 was down 30% from March 2017. Transactions (140) were down 21% from March 2017. YTD 2018 monetary volume is down 8% from YTD 2017, and transactions are down 2% YTD 2018 compared to YTD 2017. This is probably due more to lack of inventory than lack of demand.
