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.
