HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Plaza Rubio house for $750,000 over asking price; Mediterranean on Lilac Drive; 1953 house “in a state of disrepair” on 5.53 acres in outer Carpinteria; Loma Alicia townhome off-market; 1958 Mesa house in “mostly original condition”; Lower Riviera three-bedroom; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
