FAQ's

When's the best time to buy for my student?
The ideal time to purchase a condo for your student is during the spring and summer months, when inventory is highest. This allows ample time to find the right property, complete the purchase, and make any necessary improvements before the fall semester begins in August. Considering the property's potential for appreciation is also crucial. Students typically seek off-campus housing before their junior year. However, purchasing a property during their freshman year and leasing it out while they live on campus allows for more time for the property to appreciate in value.
What yearly costs are associated with owning a condo in Malibu?
Annual expenses for owning a condo in Malibu include property taxes (approximately 1.25% of the purchase price), insurance, HOA dues, and utilities (some of which may be covered by your HOA dues). If financing is used, mortgage principal and interest payments will also be part of your expenses. For detailed examples of the costs associated with owning a condo in Malibu, please refer to our complimentary guide on investing in the area.
What safety and security features do Malibu condos offer?
Safety and security features vary across condominium communities. Many favored by parents and students are gated and have onsite security. We also highlight specific communities that are particularly popular among Pepperdine students, ensuring your child is surrounded by their peers.
What's an HOA?
A Homeowners Association (HOA) is an organization established to manage and oversee a condominium community. The HOA is responsible for maintaining common areas such as landscaping, swimming pools, and recreational facilities, ensuring they are clean and well-maintained. Additionally, the HOA enforces community rules and regulations designed to preserve property values and ensure a harmonious living environment. This includes guidelines on exterior modifications, noise levels, and pet policies. HOAs also handle financial aspects, such as collecting dues from residents to fund maintenance, repairs, and community improvements. Overall, the HOA plays a crucial role in managing the shared aspects of condominium living, contributing to a well-organized and pleasant community.
What's the potential for property appreciation and return on investment?
Several factors contribute to property appreciation, including location, economic conditions, property improvements, and supply and demand dynamics. Generally, the longer a property is held, the more it tends to appreciate. Malibu condos have historically demonstrated steady and positive appreciation. For detailed information on the appreciation rates of specific condominium communities in Malibu over the past five years, please refer to our complimentary guide to investing in Malibu.
