The week in Lake Forest
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Lake Forest, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Lake Forest file →The largest reduction on the desk was 23456 White Dove Dr (Shadow Run (SD) (SD)) — down $100,000, from $1,295,000 to $1,195,000, listed by Compass.
25 listings changed status: 11 sold, 7 pending, 4 active under contract, 2 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.

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.
