Malibu home just got $1 million cheaper

The price just got cheaper for an under-construction 6,000-square-foot Malibu manse with sweeping ocean views. The spec house -- partially framed with steel beams -- came on the market last month at $3.95 million and, in the words of Malibu Prudential agent and blogger Mike Gardner, who brought the matter to our attention, "just got a whopper of a price slash" to $2.9 million. The MLS description goes even further, saying the seller "will consider all serious offers." The property, Gardner says, is in a neighborhood of homes valued at $5 million to $7 million.
Still too rich for your blood? Then you might want to skip the $27.5-million Point Dume property Gardner also blogs about.

Thoughts? Comments?
Asking prices mean nothing. All this means is this home was at least $1 million overpriced to begin with.
I just discounted the price of this banana on my desk a whopping $1000 to $5. But still no takers even with this incredible discount!

25% in 1 month. I wonder what this will do to the high end listing price stats?
