I think alot of people believe Malibu is immune to the price drops in store for this summer. Its very possible that, Malibu will be hit harder than most areas, as it has enjoyed some of the greatest appreciation.

So far, just the one house on Kingsport has melted down in Malibu, according to Zillow. Perhaps, sellers are mounting a standoff with buyers, presently. What will happen, come summer?
