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 21886 Winnebago (Lake Forest Keys (LK)) — down $300,000, from $1,999,000 to $1,699,000, listed by Primary Pacific Properties.
25 listings changed status: 11 sold, 6 active under contract, 6 pending, 2 coming soon. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
18 homes came to market, asking from $360,000 to $11,899,999.
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.
