The week in Malibu
What moved, what dropped and what changed hands in Malibu, read the way an inspector reads a house.
The Malibu file →The largest reduction on the desk was 11768 Ellice Street — down $2,105,000, from $19,100,000 to $16,995,000, listed by Compass.
9 listings changed status: 7 sold, 1 pending, 1 active under contract. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
14 homes came to market, asking from $1,099,000 to $24,500,000.
That is the week, address by address. What any one of these rows means for a house on the same street is the question the file answers next.
