House Prices Steady for Ocean Front Property in Malibu

Nationally there is concern about the housing downturn, however in the luxury real estate market and for properties on the beach, prices are steady, if not rising in popular areas.

Areas such as Carbon Beach near Malibu are dubbed "Billionaires Beach" due to its high end homes with matching high end price tags.

However, where prices are not rising they are holding steady compared to inland areas. The ocean front in the west side area is not the only section of coast benefiting from this phenomenon, other sections of the southern Californian coast are seeing similar trends. Long Beach and Huntingdon Beach to name just a couple are seeing reductions but not at the level inland.

With sellers seeking out that elusive buyer pricing is key as well as good marketing. There are some beach front homes out there which are bargains compared to their pricing 2 or 3 years ago.

People who own beachfront Real Estate generally do not feel the need to offload their asset as often as other owners of properties inland so turnover is usually low and as demand has always generally outstripped supply - with limited coastal areas which can be developed - prices have always generally commanded a premium.
