HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Classic Montecito estate for nearly half off the initial asking price; Montecito Tuscan for $22.5 million; 21-acre property in Carpinteria’s Rancho Monte Alegre; Montecito Shores two-bedroom for $5.25 million; Alta Mesa spec reno; Mesa fixer; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
