San Francisco Homebuyers Flocking to Marin

Holding open a lovely Sausalito home last Sunday, I noticed that nearly all of the 30 or so couples who came through were from San Francisco.  Even for the busy spring homebuying season, it seems like quite an exodus this year.  Many of the buyers are giving up on the market there:  low inventory, multiple offers, higher prices.
