The week in Newport Beach
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Newport Beach, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Newport Beach file →The largest reduction on the desk was 1807 Newport Hills E (Harbor View Homes (HVHM)) — down $777,000, from $8,775,000 to $7,998,000, listed by Pacific Sotheby's Int'l Realty.
25 listings changed status: 10 sold, 8 pending, 4 active under contract, 3 coming soon. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
17 homes came to market, asking from $538,000 to $20,500,000.
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.
