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 594 Cliff Drive (North Laguna (NL)) — down $1,000,000, from $12,500,000 to $11,500,000, listed by Team Laguna Inc.
18 listings changed status: 7 active under contract, 7 sold, 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 $12,495,000.
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.
