Flags
Screening prompts, not conclusions. Green and red flags are extracted from listing text and news sources; they are not verified legal or engineering findings. Independently check title and easements, legal access, surveys, zoning and buildability, geotechnical conditions, wildfire exposure and insurability, water, septic, utilities, environmental constraints and permits before any decision.
Live-web scan, October 9, 2026: 46 deduplicated highway/major-road-accessible land parcels in or near the Santa Cruz Mountains (28 active, 17 sold/closed, 1 completed acquisition) from 26 independent hosts; the largest single URL supplies 2 rows. Prices are asking or recorded sale prices in USD as stated at source; sold records span different years and statuses can change. $/acre and $/sq ft are computed from stated price and lot size — land metrics, not construction metrics. No reliable coordinates were collected, so no map is shown. Long flag lists are truncated in summary chips; full text sits in each row's dossier.
