HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Miniature French Norman on Ortega Ridge after seven price cuts; East Valley Road Mediterranean with tennis court; 1925 Spanish Colonial in Samarkand; ground-floor beachfront two-bedroom condo in Carpinteria; and a remodeled 1920 three-bedroom downtown. See what sold—and for how much.

GET OUT OF TOWN
Venice is fundamentally unique, like something out of a fantasy novel; it shouldn’t exist, and of course, someday it probably won’t. And I love it.
