The week in Del Mar
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Del Mar, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Del Mar file →The largest reduction on the desk was 446 15th Street — down $200,000, from $4,000,000 to $3,800,000, listed by Realty Place.
6 listings changed status: 3 pending, 3 sold. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
4 homes came to market, asking from $3,400,000 to $6,750,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.
