The week in Costa Mesa
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Costa Mesa, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Costa Mesa file →The largest reduction on the desk was 2165 Harbor Boulevard — down $200,000, from $2,899,000 to $2,699,000, listed by Keller Williams Realty Calabasas.
25 listings changed status: 8 sold, 6 active under contract, 5 pending, 4 coming soon. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
19 homes came to market, asking from $499,900 to $4,350,000.
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.
