HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Hotel-like Hope Ranch house for $18.15 million; Hope Ranch house with a jumbo hot tub; an unbuilt house in Summerland for $9 million; midcentury project on the old Knapp estate; and more. See what sold—and for how much.

••• New art show in the Funk Zone.
••• Book of Mormon and other shows in Broadway Santa Barbara’s 2022-2023 season.
