Malibu

Twenty-one miles of coastline, world-class beaches, and some of the most coveted real estate on earth. As a Malibu native, this is home for me.

I grew up in Malibu, so I know this stretch of coast in a way few agents do: the beaches, the canyons, the private pockets, and the rhythm of a community that lives between the mountains and the sea. Malibu remains one of the most desirable and resilient luxury markets anywhere, prized for its privacy, its scenery, and its lifestyle.

The January 2025 fires affected parts of the coastline, and I want to be straightforward about that. Even so, Malibu's ultra-luxury market has stayed strong, particularly for well-located homes, and demand for the best properties remains high. For buyers and sellers here, local knowledge is everything, and having grown up on this coast, I can help you navigate it with confidence.

Malibu Market Snapshot

Malibu spans a wide range. Condos and smaller homes in the more inland or canyon areas can start in the low millions, established single-family homes cluster around the mid $4M range, and premier beachfront and bluff-top estates reach well past $6.7M into the tens of millions for trophy properties.

The Neighborhoods within Malibu

Point Dume

A gated-feeling peninsula of estates with private beach access, among Malibu's most tightly held addresses, known for privacy and a real sense of community.

Malibu Colony and Road

The classic beachfront enclaves along the sand, long favored by those seeking a private toes-in-the-sand lifestyle.

Malibu Park and the Canyons

Larger lots, equestrian properties, and mountain-and-ocean views for buyers who want space and privacy above the coast.

Lifestyle and Dining

Malibu life is defined by the ocean: surfing at Surfrider, sunsets at Point Dume, hiking the Santa Monica Mountains, and a relaxed, private pace. Add the wineries of the hills, the farm stands, and a genuinely close community, and it is a lifestyle that keeps residents deeply rooted here.

Schools

Malibu is served by the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District, with well-regarded public schools and access to excellent private options across the wider area. Families are drawn to the combination of strong schools and coastal living.

Location and Commute

Life in Malibu runs along Pacific Coast Highway, with Santa Monica and the Westside a scenic drive to the east. It trades big-city immediacy for privacy and natural beauty, which is precisely the point for most buyers here.

Is Malibu a Good Place to Buy?

Malibu remains one of the most resilient luxury markets in the world. Coastal scarcity, global demand, and an irreplaceable lifestyle continue to support values, especially for well-located homes. As a Malibu native, I can help you evaluate any property honestly and buy or sell with real confidence, and I can connect you with the insurance and contracting professionals you will want in your corner along this coast.
