The week in National City
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in National City, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The National City file →The largest reduction on the desk was 840 E 16th St — down $49,999, from $599,999 to $550,000, listed by Jason Mitchell Real Estate CA.
7 listings changed status: 5 sold, 1 pending, 1 active under contract. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
9 homes came to market, asking from $399,999 to $1,999,000.
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.
