Celebrity Real Estate: Price Chops Aplenty for Mel Gibson's Relisted Malibu Manse
After some less-than-politically-correct statements and the box office flop of his most recent flick, The Beaver, controversial film star Mel Gibson has relisted this Malibu property for $11.75M. Set on 2.56 acres, the six-bedroom Lavender Hill Farm was first listed for $14.5M in March 2010 and was most recently asking $12.75M with no takers. With no mention of Mr. Gibson or a "celebrity owner," the listing cites the estate's many virtues: 5,500 square feet, flood-lit tennis court, media room, gym, three guest houses, and a "a 2 story entertainment pavilion with built-in BBQ, fireplace and kitchen." Gibson might not be able to find much work lately, but will he find a buyer for his palatial pad?

PriceChopper: House With a Pool Quickly Takes a Couple Chops
Then: $1,299,000
Now: $1,199,000
You Save: $201,000
Readers, you called it. 2518 Great Hwy in the Outer Sunset- the 3-bed, 2-bath, turquoise house- didn't get the $1,400,000 it wanted. In fact, it didn't get the $1,299,000 either. 26 days after the original listing and it's already taken $201,000 off its price. But it's got a heated pool! And a view of the ocean! Commenters said that $1.4M was obviously too high a price for what's known as a middle-class neighborhood. But every neighborhood has its pockets of unfamiliarity. It is a big house and it does have a roof deck and landscaped backyard with a pool. What'll it take, readers? If they paint the exterior beige and take another $100,000 off, will it finally find a buyer? Will it leave the millionaire's club? Let us know in the comments!
