Deal Alert on Malibu Home For Sale

Malibu Real Estate — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:22:59 +0000

Just got back from caravan with a very full stomach and a bunch of blog ideas about great deals and over priced homes! I’m going to keep it positive today and tell you what I think is the best deal out there within the Malibu real estate market.

The home for sale over at 6323 Via Escondido really caught my eye this morning. It has to be the best value for a home over 5000 sq. ft. in Malibu. The home is listed at $2,595,000 with 6 bedrooms, a large grassy area with room for a pool, has numerous outdoor decks,……and is actually a nice, well done, newer home. Other homes in the price range are fixers! With 5800 sq. ft., located within walking distance of a private beach and private tennis court, you can see why I think this place is going to sell. The home is multi-level with 3 stories and would work great for someone with a bunch of kids, a maid, and parents who need a few room to escape too for peace and quite. Nothing under $500 a sq.ft. can come even close to what this home offers. Check out the slide show below and call to make an appt now because I’m betting this one sells quick. 310 699 8428.

Side note…..The agent throwing the caravan today did it right. He hired The Farm from Beverly Hills to layout a great spread. The food was the best I’ve seen in months and is the only way to make sure a lot of agents show up. By 11am he had over 40 agents signed in to the caravan. Next time you interview an agent for a listing, ask him what his plans are for caravan and see if they even mention putting out a nice spread. This agent had lox and bagels with all the proper toppings. A real cheese plate with imported bries, moldy cheese, and cured olives,….. not those crappy costco ones with three colors of cheddar I see at some open houses. There was a dessert bar with scones, croissants, and danishes…again not from Entimens, but home made. Here’s a pic of the spread.

The Never Ending Price Chop

Malibu Real Estate — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 22:34:51 +0000

20, 19, 18, 17 …..No, it’s not a count down to a rocket launch at Cape Canaveral. It’s the millions of dollars being chopped off the asking price of a home in Malibu. The beach front estate, located on the Encinal bluffs, started out at $20m and is now bank-owned and listed at $8.9m! I don’t think the countdown can go too much lower as the home itself is very nice and comes with an additional, separate apn, that is advertised as having “potential for future development.” From the MLS “OVER $2,000,000 PRICE REDUCTION!!! BANK OWNED FORECLOSURE! OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A BANK OWNED BEACH FRONT REO WITH A PREMIER LOCATION ON THE ENCINAL BLUFFS IN MALIBU. FANTASTIC LOCATION PROVIDES SENSATIONAL COASTLINE AND OCEAN VIEWS WITH TWO LEGAL LOTS TOTALING OVER 1.6 ACRES. EXPANSIVE DECKS WERE BUILT TO ENHANCE THE ENJOYMENT OF THIS OCEAN FRONT OASIS. THE LOWER DECK OFFERS DIRECT AND PRIVATE ACCESS TO THE BEACH! RECENTLY REMODELED/REBUILT, THIS PRIVATELY GATED, SINGLE LEVEL ITALIAN VILLA BOASTS SOARING WOOD BEAMED CEILINGS, BEAUTIFUL LIMESTONE FLOORS, AND AN OUTSTANDING GREAT ROOM FOR ENTERTAINING. THE RESIDENCE LIES ON THE LOWER (BEACH FRONT) OF TWO LEGAL PARCELS, WHILE THE UPPER PARCEL IS CURRENTLY VACANT, AND HAS POTENTIAL FOR POSSIBLE FUTURE DEVELOPMENT. A TRUE COMPOUND OPPORTUNITY AWAITS TO OWN THIS UNIQUE OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY THAT IS PRICED TO SELL NOW!”

Incredible Malibu Home For Sale Heads For Auction

Malibu Real Estate — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 15:44:53 +0000

Here’s the Low Down. A Malibu home seen on TV’s Million Dollar Listing is headed for auction on May 22. This type of home for sale is much easier than the headaches of the bank owned, REO, short sale type. This 5600 sq.ft.home is located in my neighborhood, so I know it well, and is located in a private, gated canyon with winding streams, oaks trees, and a few minutes walk from the beach. My bet is the house will likely go over the opening bid of $1.9m but someone is still going to get a great deal. I’m guessing the house will sell around $2.8m to $3m. That would be a great buy in may book! The house has ocean views, is surrounded by mature trees on roughly one acre, and even has a guest house. The house can be seen every weekend up until the auction date. Call me for details about how this auction process works and for a showing. Mike Gardner 310 699 8428
