BIG CHANGES
The city has zeroed in on a new home for the Saturday farmers’ market, according to the head of Public Works.

·················

PRICE CUTS
This Montecito couple now has two mansions on the market—and one just got price-chopped by $4.25 million. The week’s other top reductions: Spec renovation approaches the sweet spot; 1900 George Washington Smith Tudor; family-friendly redo with a nice backyard; Sea Cliff house inches toward reality.

·················

WEATHER FORECAST
“Rain is likely through this morning—not a lot, around 1/10 of an inch, but more in the mountains,” says Jack Martin of Action Roofing. “Tomorrow, the low-pressure system moves east, leaving us with a chilly day with temps 10 to 15 degrees below normal. Wednesday and Thursday, we transition into another wind event.” Email [email protected] to receive daily updates.
