A few months ago an agent at another Malibu real estate brokerage asked me to come and shoot a house that he had for sale. Not just any house but a $24,000,000 Malibu beach house! I spent several days shooting it, both day and night and created a website that was SEO optimized using Showit. The most important shot can be seen below. This is the “money shot” and it took about an hour to get it and about 2 hours in post. The house has now sold ( in less than 3 months) and as an added bonus this shot made Architectural Digest’s Editor’s Choice Section. Website Here
Newly remodeled Point Dume home on Bluewater with ocean and mountain views, large yard, gated, private, and close to the sandy shores of Point Dume. This Malibu home features a few very unique qualities..The home has new copper piping and a filtration system that removes fluoride from the water. It also has plaster walls instead of drywall and most of the doors and windows have been replaced. The kitchen is a one of a kind creation that was imported from Italy.
A Point Dume home on Bluewater got a price reduction last night bringing it under $2m. The home features great mountain views and is a short walk to the beach. The home is a simple, single story ranch home with a nice yard and is located on a quite street. This is the least expensive home for sale on Point Dume.

Thursday is caravan day in Malibu. That’s when all the agents go out and see the new real estate listings on the market and try to score a free meal (food is sometimes served..it should be mandatory!). Truth be told, there’s a lot of homes that you’ll forget about minutes after leaving. Every once in while one really sticks out and last week I ran in to one of those where kept repeating in my mind, “WOW This house is really freakin’ great!” The home at 6400 Bonsall has to be one of the coolest small homes I’ve seen in a while and several of the agents that walked in were saying the same thing. Also, at one of our office meetings, it was voted as best house on caravan. Enough said…go see it! The Spanish style home has been extensively remodeled and is located on a large piece of land complete with pool, waterfall, tennis court, and mature trees. Everything about was just done right. The home is price well too at $2,195,000. I’m betting this one sells fast! Check the slideshow below. MLS info here “SIMPLY SOPHISTICATED AND ELEGANT, THIS RECENTLY REMODELED PROPERTY IS A HIDDEN TREASURE ON ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE STREETS IN MALIBU. A LONG AND PRIVATE DRIVE WITH TWENTY FOOT HEDGES WELCOME YOU IN. HANDMADE WOODEN GATES OPEN TO THE COURTYARD WHICH CENTERS THE HOME.

The real estate market is alive and well. Inventories are down from last year, the days on market are shortening, and homes are being sold! Condos, Land, and Malibu Homes are all starting to see action. 40 plus properties are listed as pending, back up , or have sold in the last 30 days. Low priced condos are being purchased with one notable unit coming on the market this week under $300k at the Malibu Gardens. Point Dume is seeing a lot of action with numerous escrows in the works with some very large numbers. I personally have one in escrow where the asking was $12,500,000 for a piece of land and there is a rumored deal going down on another Point Dume home around $13m. Managers at several brokerage are all stating that the agents are much busier than last year and the cash buyers are really out in force! If there ever was a time to buy, it seems like now may be it.
