Homes in Malibu range from the quintessential, beach-bum cottages to some of the most palatial estates on the Pacific. For those with neither the beach-bum attitude nor the resources of a billionaire, there are plenty of homes in the middle. The majority of homes in Malibu are priced between one and five million dollars.

Since Rhoda Rindge first opened up her private estate (which comprised the entirety of Malibu), homes here have been highly desired. While development has been tightly controlled, except for stretches along the shore and in the Malibu Colony, several new developments have popped up over the years. Most buyers find they have more options in Malibu than they had expected.

Malibu's exquisite natural beauty and regularly stunning sunsets make Malibu real estate a very valuable commodity. Even a beach-bum cottage will sell for several hundred thousand dollars. By far, the majority of detached homes in Malibu sell for between one and five million dollars. Purchasing one of the many magnificent Malibu estates, however, usually costs ten times as much, making these excellent investment properties.

Lesser known but equally stunning estates are also available on the inland side of the Santa Monica Mountains.
