Where the Wild Deals Are At!

Malibu Real Estate — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 17:10:36 +0000

I saw a few things this week that made me pick up the phone and call clients telling them about some great opportunities within the Malibu real estate market. Yesterday on caravan, I was wowed by a home for sale located on Ramirez Mesa. This is a gated development of roughly 20 homes that sits above Paradise Cove and has great ocean views. The home for sale is almost 6000 sq.ft., nicely remodeled in a Tuscan/Mediterranean style, had 5 bedrooms ,a pool, and a three car garage. The home had views of all on Santa Monica Bay and has room for a vineyard. It’s current asking price is $3,950,000, which in my view makes it one of the largest, and nicest, homes available under $4m. I even think there is some room on the price! Call 310 699 8428 for an appointment to view it.

The other great deals in general are showing up in the condo market. I think we may see some condos closing at $350k or less in the next few months. There is one listed at the Malibu Gardens for $389,000! At that price it makes a great rental for Pepperdine students or just a weekend crash pad to enjoy the beach.

Why You Need My Listing Book Program…60% Off Deal in Malibu Park

Malibu Real Estate — Thu, 08 Oct 2009 05:25:04 +0000

By 8 am this morning I had 2 clients emailing me asking what the story was with a new listing in Malibu Park for $699,000 that once was listed at $1,800,000!!!!!!. This is not a condo, but a half acre, ocean view, one bedroom home from 1949. They got the alert at 6 am this morning just hours after it was inserted on the MLS. When they checked their email they saw the hot deal and were among the first to know about it. The reason they got it so fast was because they had me create a “Listing Boo”k account for them where they can keep track of all real estate activity in Malibu. With this account, clients have full access to the MLS and can even change criteria to fine tune their searches. If you are serious about watching the market, finding new listings, and even getting price reduction updates on marked homes, then email me with what you are looking for an consider it done!

Malibu Real Estate — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 16:01:18 +0000

Update! The home quickly went in to escrow with upwards of 5 offers, several of which a rumored to be all cash. My guess is that it will close above asking but someone will walk away with a deal. You have got to be ready to pull the trigger when these deals pop up. saw several this week get hit with multiple offers. Call to discuss.

Showed the house today and it is hands down one of the best buys in all of Malibu right now. The ocean view was really good and the roughly 3 acres it sits on is mostly flat or gently sloped. Call before its gone. 310 699 8428

This may be the least expensive home with an ocean view AND over 6000 sq.ft! The home is located up a gated street very close to Malibu Park and Point Dume. It has great views and a large lawn. It’s on the short pay list and was reduced from $2,799,000 to $2,200,000. The MLS has it’s sq.ft. list at 6,467. That’s what I would call a best buy in Malibu. Call for showings 310 699 8428

Ba Humbug! Half-Finished Ocean View Project Hits The Skids In Malibu

Malibu Real Estate — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 03:04:53 +0000

It appears someone’s spec project has hit the skids in the hills of Malibu. What’s unusual about this one is that it’s a large, nice, ocean view project in a neighborhood of homes in the $4-$7 million dollar range. The partially framed project came on the market last month at $3,950,000 and got a whopper of a price slash this week to $2,900,000 with an MLS description saying “will consider all serious offers.”

I personally like the price cut (that’s one motivated seller!) and it may very well be worth a look if you’d like to avoid most of the headaches involved with building a house in Malibu. Maybe one of the execs over at Toll Brothers needs something to do!
