The week in Laguna Beach
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Laguna Beach, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Laguna Beach file →The largest reduction on the desk was 52 N Portola (Three Arch Bay (TAB)) — down $500,000, from $12,995,000 to $12,495,000, listed by Compass.
22 listings changed status: 10 sold, 7 active under contract, 3 pending, 1 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
9 homes came to market, asking from $1,199,000 to $10,300,000.
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.
