HOT PROPERTY
The real estate market shows no signs of cooling down yet—many of last week’s sales were for well above ask, including eye-popping prices on the Mesa and in Upper San Roque. Notable sales also include a sweet 1948 house in San Roque; Palomino Road with nice outdoor space; the Alta Mesa house with the fabulous garage door; and Moorish-inspired architecture on E. Cota Street. See what sold—and for how much.
