Del Mar
Batter Kay
The two local legends Michael Batter and Janice Kay-Batter talk architecture and real estate: The list price on this Compass listing is $4,375,000 and it's now pending.
Rimini Del Mar
This just closed for $7,200,000 cash, which was $5,000 above its list price. It had been on the market for almost two years with two different agents and had a couple of refreshings:
