A home seller in Malibu has come up with a very unique and creative way of bringing attention to the sale of his home….he’s throwing in his red Ferrari F40. The iconic Italian sports car has less than 800 miles on it and only 1315 production models ever rolled off the factory floor in Maranello, Italy. The car was originally offered at $400k, though some buyers were willing to pay a bit more to possess this stellar sports model…up to $1.6m! The F40 was the first ever legal production car to exceed 200 mph. A Japanese Ferrari dealer once filmed himself hitting 201 mph only to be arrested after he sold a videotape to an undercover policeman. Bail probably wasn’t a problem, he had already sold 10,000 of the videos. The only catch on securing the car is that the home for sale must be purchased before 6-30-2010.
Oh, and about the house! The home’s asking price is $4,399,333.00 and it has expansive ocean views on half an acre. There are 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, and close to 6000 sq.ft. of living space. There is a pool, room to park 13 cars, and is less than a minute walk from the beaches along Encinal Bluffs. The house across the street is asking $49m! Call for a showing of the car or house! 310 699 8428

Seeing that there were over 1000 page views on the blog today I’m going to break a story that I was trying to hold off on. I’ve got a new listing in Malibu, maybe, one of the nicest homes ever to be offered on the market. I’m working on the website now but will show a pic below. Here’s the news…The listing was given to myself and David Findley of Partners Trust because we absolutely understand, no, live, breathe, eat, and preach the real estate marketing revolution that is taking place online. We have 20-30 “new school” ideas, web marketing methods, and social media tools that separate us from the Realtorsaurus types mentioned here. One tool is Twitter. Not going to reveal too much here but if you want to watch what we will be doing, I’m going to invite you right now to follow the listing @villacascata. Watch, learn, and understand how Twitter is more than just a few words about what kind of coffee you are drinking.
A new home has hit the Point Dume Real Estate market and it’s listed at a great price. The home, located on the corner of Wildlife and Fernhill, is close to the private beaches that the Point Dume community enjoys. The home is listed at $2,190,000 and includes a large lot of over .5 acre.
It’s what we commonly call an original Point Dume “ranch house” typical of building in the late 50′s and is in very clean condition. Call for a showing. This one won’t last long. 310 699 8428

With this Point Dume home going into escrow on Selfridge somewhere around $2.5m, another house on Point Dume has smartly lowered it’s asking price from $3,200,000, then to $2,975,000, and finally to $2,750,000 making it a great price for an ocean view home on Dume Drive.
