Doris Day's California home listed for $7.4M; proceeds going to charity

Real-estate expert Don Peebles says he doesn't think workers are going to go back to large office spaces until the second quarter of 2021 and expresses his concern over the hotel industry where he anticipates foreclosures and possible mergers. But, in the face of this, he did say the commercial real estate sector in the suburbs is thriving.

The former home of Doris Day is on the market for $7.4 million.

The actress and singer retired to this Carmel Valley, Calif., home after stepping back from her run as “America’s sweetheart” that saw her star in movies like “Pillow Talk,” "Love Me or Leave Me” and “Lover Come Back,” as well as her eponymous TV show. She died last year at age 97.
