By Dolores Quintana The renovated Craftsman home at 2623 3rd St in Santa Monica, CA sold for slightly over its listed price.

By Jack Flemming An architectural landmark just traded hands in Pasadena, where Marvel director Anthony Russo sold the famed Cordelia Culbertson House for $6.25 million — or $250,000 more than he was asking.
