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 1105 E. 6th Street — down $46,000, from $745,000 to $699,000, listed by Pacific Sotheby's International Realty.
8 listings changed status: 4 sold, 3 pending, 1 active under contract. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
7 homes came to market, asking from $499,999 to $1,599,000.
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.
