JUST LISTED
There’s something for everyone in this roundup of 12 noteworthy new listings—the L:ower Riviera in all its funky glory, a $28 million mansion in Montecito, a charming Lutah Maria Riggs house from 1966, a two-bedroom San Roque cottage, and many more.

·················

WEATHER FORECAST
“Today will be quite warm,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “All areas will start with sunshine and temps will rise quickly. Highs will be in the 90s coastal and 100 in valleys. Tonight, winds look likely, keeping us hot again. Saturday will be another hot day, but a break will begin on Sunday—although not really much of one, because highs will still be well above normal. The start of next week should bring back the fog along the coast with onshore flow.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.

••• Downtown inn for sale.
••• Fires at the Hot Springs trailhead.
