Re-blogged from Zillow: Howie Mandel Lists Malibu Home for 7.25 Million

Howie Mandel is hoping it’s a deal — rather than no deal — for the home he recently listed on the Malibu real estate market. The TV host’s custom-built Cape Cod-style manse is listed for $7.25 million.
The “America’s Got Talent” judge bought the home back in 2006 for $3 million. In 2008, he tore the entire thing down to build his dream house with the help of renowned architect Douglas Burdge, which accounts for the $4.25 million price increase.
Mandel’s built his career based on show-business versatility, with stints in film, TV and stage. His work on the Emmy Award-winning “St. Elsewhere” and “Bobby’s World” made Mandel a mainstay of the American comedy scene.
As the former host of NBC’s popular game show “Deal of No Deal,” Mandel was awarded a prime time Emmy nomination for Outstanding Reality/Competition Host and a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Game Show Host. Currently, Mandel is the host and executive producer of the upcoming Fox special “Mobbed,” scheduled to premiere after “American Idol” in March.
Mandel’s traditional-style house is trimmed with shake shingles and stonework and sits on more than an acre with ocean views, an expansive lawn and a swimming pool with spa. Located in the Point Dume area, the home is within walking distance of Malibu’s star-studded beaches, where you might catch of glimpse of celebrity neighbors like Ellen Degeneres, David Spade, and Matthew Perry.
The 6-bedroom, 7-bathroom estate boasts 5,936-square feel of living space including an office, theater, gym and guesthouse. The listing description notes the home was “crafted with the finest of finishes, the timeless architectural-style weds both an elegant sophistication and casual seaside living with a seamless indoor [and] outdoor flow.”
The listing is held by Matt Rapf of Luxury Real Estate.

Finding the Best Seller's Agent: Nine Questions to Ask

Another excerpt from Buy the Beach by Katie Bentzen-
Finding the Best Seller's Agent: Nine Questions to Ask
1. Are his or her comparables up-to-date?  And if you own an exclusive home, does the agent have comps no one else knows?
2.  How many beachfront properties has the agent sold, and does he or she have a list of satisfied clients?
3.  Does the agent limit the number of concurrent listings he or she will accept?
4.  How does the agent plan to represent your home?
5.  How much time can the agent commit to your sale?
6.  Has the agent been involved in any lawsuits?
7.  How will the agent analyze market conditions?
8.  If necessary, does the agent suggest that you offer incentives?
9. Can the agent estimate your net proceeds?

RealtorMag's Top 8 Places to Live

So here is an article from RealtorMag listing the top 8 places to live,  arguing via unemployment rate, average list price, and population as factors for making this list.  The top city on the list is "Louisville, Colorado.  Population: 18,400 Unemployment: 6.3% Average list price (July 2011): $383,569."

First of all, I take issue with the fact that absolutely NO California, or even West Coast, cities are listed on here.  What happened to the West Coast is the best coast?

I argue for the inclusion of Malibu on this list, I was just curious and pulled up the statistics on Malibu and it would appear that I am extremely justified in arguing for Malibu to be perhaps #1 on this list:

Malibu
Unemployment rate: 3.58%
Population: 19,614
Average List Price (July 2011): $5,529,928

Even if I didn't live in Malibu, those statistics would be looking pretty appetizing to me, especially with the state of the economy at the moment (Look at that unemployment rate!  That average list price!)  I don't know, Realtormag, I think you guys need to step up your game and add Malibu to that list!
