The week in Santa Monica
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Santa Monica, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Santa Monica file →The largest reduction on the desk was 1643 12th Street 2 — down $200,000, from $2,395,000 to $2,195,000, listed by The Agency.
25 listings changed status: 11 sold, 8 active under contract, 5 pending, 1 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
25 homes came to market, asking from $1,049,999 to $14,000,000.
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.
