By Cristin Zweig A-list director Judd Apatow, famous for movies like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Bridesmaids" and "Knocked Up," and his actress wife, Leslie Mann, have just purchased a Malibu home for $10.825 million from the estate of late "Pretty Woman" producer Laura Ziskin. Property records show that the deal closed... Continue Reading »

By Erika Riggs Malibu has 21 miles of coastline, and each section has its share of white-sand beach and ocean views. But Carbon Beach -- a coveted one-mile section -- earned the moniker Billionaire's Beach. "All of the homes along the water have beautiful views," said Joyce Rey, executive director of Coldwell Banker... Continue Reading »

Some people like to play it safe, but not us. We think outside the box, and so do our friends at @MalibuPatch. With this modern Malibu marvel, they fought their way to the top of our #housepornthurs contest on Facebook this week. It was a tight race, though. Runner-up @FHAllenRealtors trailed by just a few votes with... Continue Reading »

Decades after his stint rescuing beautiful blondes from crocodiles and conquering Manhattan in a snakeskin vest and Akubra hat, Paul Hogan (better known as "Crocodile Dundee") and his wife and former co-star Linda Kozlowski are selling their stunning Malibu mansion for $5.25 million. The couple have only had the... Continue Reading »

By Erika Riggs According to the Los Angeles Times, Leonardo DiCaprio has decided he's had enough of trying to rent out his Malibu place: He wants it out of his hands once and for all. The "Titanic" actor first listed his Malibu home for $75,000 a month in May. Even though the rental was listed all summer, the A-lister... Continue Reading »

Kelsey Grammer and his ex-wife, Camille, are slowly shedding their vast collection of real estate holdings. This time, they've listed their former primary residence in Malibu, Calif., which has been featured on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." For $17.5 million, you can purchase the former Hollywood couple's... Continue Reading »

Tis the season, it seems, for high-end celebrity rentals! Not that we're complaining. It's just that the level of (largely unattainable) eye candy being thrust on the market is getting slightly out of hand. First, there was Pamela Anderson's $50,000-a-month rental in Malibu (down $25,000 from last year). Then there was... Continue Reading »

Maybe it's the rising temperature that's got all our favorite celebs in a home-selling frenzy. This time it's Hollywood funnyman Jim Carrey, who's throwing his stunning Malibu contemporary on the market for a not-so-laughable $13.95 million. We don't know why he'd ever want to sell this sweet piece of real estate, but... Continue Reading »

Think the high-end of the market hasn't been felled by the economic downturn? Guess again. Here's a lovely four-bedroom contemporary home in Malibu, Calif., that is now being offered as a short sale with a recent price drop of $1 million. Ouch. The 5,000-square-foot home is now listed at $2.85 million, subject to the... Continue Reading »

I'd like to propose that there be an architectural style called "Malibu" and we use this 10,000-square-foot oceanfront home listed at $27 million as the textbook example. The five-bedroom main house, designed by architect Douglas W. Burdge took what was once a 1970s seaside estate on the bluffs above Point Dume and,... Continue Reading »

You've heard the expression that there's no such thing as bad pizza, right? That's kind of how it is with houses in Malibu, Calif. Throw in a view of the Pacific Ocean and the random dolphin-sighting, and what more do you really need? But the truth is, occasionally a house comes down the pike that makes you remember --...

Actor Jack Nicholson finally can put a "sold" sign outside his Malibu beach ranch, although he's certainly going to be depositing a whole lot less cash than he was hoping for. He's had it listed at $4.250 million and it sold for just $3.5 million according to the MLS. Continue Reading »

Not every house in Malibu is beachfront; in fact, some of the nicer ones are off the sand and in the land-side hills overlooking the Pacific. They still get the sea breezes and the vistas are breathtaking -- and the prices tend to reflect their lack of oceanfront status. With that in mind, we especially like this... Continue Reading »

Sometimes it feels like celebrities trade homes like baseball cards, which is an appropriate analogy in this case since one of the principals is former Mets slugger Mike Piazza. The New York Post is reporting that "Entourage" star Jeremy Piven (pictured at far left) bought a 6,000-square-foot home in Tribeca that once... Continue Reading »

Superstar Brad Pitt has put his Malibu oceanfront home into the MLS at $13.375 million -- a far cry from the pocket listing price of $18 million that's been bandied about for the past two years. It must be nice to be able to purge your real estate portfolio the way one periodically goes through the closet, getting rid of... Continue Reading »
