How can two Malibu beach houses, similar in size, beach frontage, and condition, located on the same road , AND just a few lots away from each other be priced $5,ooo,ooo or more apart? Answer: Beach Depth. Take the example below in the photo showing the Malibu Colony. There is one section “within the gates” and one section “outside the gated”  on Malibu Road. Notice the houses on the beach in the Colony that have wooden sea walls with stairs leading down to the sand. At high tide there will be no dry sand and a few waves might even bounce of the wall. Now take a look at the section where there is 20-60 feet of depth to it with dry sand. In this photo you can see where the last high tide came up to and how the residents of this section still had a dry sand beach to enjoy. That’s the  big difference and what can affect the price, in the millions, for a Malibu beach house.

This is the biggest price drop I’ve seen in the Malibu Real Estate market, ever. Starting out $39,500,000, this ocean front property has been chopped to $21,500,000 in 4 short months. That’s an $18,000,000 chop in 120 days!  The home is located just south of the Paradise Cove pier and was recently  remodeled.

A pair of new life guard towers were delivered to Leo Carillo Beach this week but it’s hard to say if the look any better than the old ones. The traditional wood structures have been replaced with a modern space pod that looks like it  was popped out of a mold at a gondola factory. The structures have the architectual curved roof that can be seen all over Venice and have unusual  angular protrusions towards the top of the side walls. The structures look like they’d be more at home in Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon where artificial is natural.

I’m  already missing the old weathered wood towers that have a distinctive patina only the sea and salt air can create.

The home once used for a popular TV series is now heading for a 50 percent off sale but has yet to secure a long term relationship with a buyer. The home originally came on the market in 08 for $12,995,000 and is now asking $6,750,000. That’s one whopper off a price drop in less than 12 months! That’s a half million a month off the original price!

I have been in the home a few times for the annual Range Rover Driving School events held there each year and will say that it is an incredible property and may well be worth the recent asking price. There is also substantial income generated with the events, weddings, and shows filmed there so an out of town buyer who wants rental income might work well. While not in Maibu, it is less than 10 minutes from the beach via Kanan, and 10 minutes to the valley.
