"The value of mobile homes within walking distance of the surf has shot up tremendously in the last few years, reflecting a dramatic change in status for these dwellings. These trailers aren't the housing-market dregs; they're a sensible solution for some seeking the life of Malibu Barbie.

Kirk Murray, a Realtor with Pritchett-Rapf & Associates who has sold many mobile homes in Malibu, watched last year as one went for $795,000, and then sold again for $995,000 two months later. Another month after that, it was on the market again for $1.25 million."
