HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Supersize spec reno for $20 million off the initial asking price; 1999 Montecito Mediterranean rumored to be getting scrapped; 1950 Chester Carjola in Oak Creek Canyon; the original floops for a big loss; architectural jumble off East Valley Road; Mission Canyon compound; and more. See what sold—and for how much. (Photo by Elevated Horizon, courtesy Nancy Kogevinas.)
