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.
10 listings changed status: 8 sold, 1 pending, 1 active under contract. The brokerage on every row below is the listing brokerage on the record, not ours.
8 homes came to market, asking from $2,000,000 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.

Desk noteMalibu weekly desk note
Malibu saw 25 price cuts, 14 new listings and 9 status changes this week — up from 37 last week, as of September 20, 2026.
NeighbourhoodMalibu Colony
One of the first areas with private homes after May Rindge began leasing lots in the 1920s to Hollywood stars including Anna Q.
NeighbourhoodPoint Dume
Named in 1793 by British navigator George Vancouver for Father Francisco Dumetz (the spelling later drifted to 'Dume'); it stayed a sparsely developed equestrian area into the 1960s before ranch-style homes and, later, celebrity estates such as Johnny Carson's 1984 purchase built it into a gated bluff-top community.
