The week in Del Mar
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Del Mar, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Del Mar file →The largest reduction on the desk was 120 26 4th St — down $599,000, from $5,399,000 to $4,800,000, listed by Compass.
3 listings changed status: 2 pending, 1 back on market. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
One home came to market this week, asking $960,000.
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.

GuideWhat does bluff erosion mean when you sell in Del Mar?

NeighbourhoodOlde Del Mar
Local legend holds that the neighborhood's curving hillside streets were mapped by following flour trails left by horse-drawn delivery wagons; it includes Sea Grove and Powerhouse Parks along the bluff.
