After she took five listings at the same price, I joked with the listing agent here that maybe every house was worth $3,200,000 now! I don't think any of them were worth $3 million before this year, and this is the only one that has closed under list:
Olivenhain
One-Story on Acre Lot
This listing hit the open market on April 18th, which was long after mortgage rates had gotten into the 5s. It went pending in the first ten days, but then it fell out of escrow three weeks later. By then, the doomer talk had escalated and reviving the market...

Olivenhain with Horses
Another video I did for potential buyers - these were tract homes that sold in the $300,000s back in the early-1990s. This just closed for $2,400,000:
