The week in Palm Desert
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Palm Desert, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Palm Desert file →The largest reduction on the desk was 72872 Sonora Drive — down $149,999, from $1,274,999 to $1,125,000, listed by Christie's International Real Estate SoCal.
25 listings changed status: 8 pending, 8 sold, 4 active under contract, 3 coming soon. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
25 homes came to market, asking from $275,000 to $3,800,000.
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.
