Malibu Homes for Sale


Malibu stretches along Pacific Coast Highway and includes Zuma Beach, Point Dume and the Malibu Pier. Pepperdine University overlooks the coast.

Where Malibu Fits

Malibu stretches along Pacific Coast Highway between the Santa Monica Mountains and the ocean. Pepperdine University, Malibu Lagoon, and Zuma Beach are among its best-known places. Parts of Malibu were affected by recent wildfires, so rebuilding, permits, and insurance are common topics in local sales. Neighboring and nearby areas include Westlake Village, Agoura Hills, and Calabasas. Our La Mirada office is about 43.5 miles from Malibu as the crow flies. It’s part of the Conejo & Santa Monica Mountains area of Los Angeles County; see our Los Angeles County real estate guide.

Homes in Malibu: What to Expect

Malibu housing includes condos, townhomes, older cottages, and newer custom homes. Ocean views and walkability to the water make a big difference in price, and remodeling rules can be stricter near the coast, so we check permit history early.

Buying in Malibu

Areas such as Point Dume, Malibu Colony and Carbon Beach each have their own character, and Malibu Canyon Road and Kanan Road connect to the US-101. We set up alerts for new Malibu listings, review disclosures and HOA documents with you, and plan an offer that fits the home and your budget. Current Malibu listings are shown on this page.

Selling in Malibu

Beachfront, bluff-top and canyon homes sell on very different terms, and fire rebuild status, coastal permits and septic systems often come up in due diligence. We start with the recent sales closest to your home, adjust for condition and upgrades, and talk through your options before you decide to list. See what your Malibu home could sell for.
