Devastating Fires Send L.A. Residents Scrambling for Luxury Homes in a Tight Market: ‘Get Me to Newport’
With two major fires raging in Los Angeles County, thousands of displaced residents are now hunting for new homes in a very tight real estate market.
Top luxury realtor Dylan Eckhardt, whose clients include Justin Bieber and Rihanna, says he has received 36 calls in the past 18 hours from people whose homes in Malibu and Pacific Palisades have been reduced to ash. The clients, who run the gamut from Hollywood writers to executives, some with young families, are asking for apartments over houses and nowhere near fire-prone areas that have long been desirable, such as Malibu and Pacific Palisades. The list of notable names impacted continues to grow and includes Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal, Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag, Milo Ventimiglia, Anna Faris, James Woods, Diane Warren, Steve Guttenberg, Mel Gibson, Tina Knowles, Miles Teller, Cobi Smulders, Melissa Rivers, Jeff Bridges, Eugene Levy, and Adam Brody and Leighton Meester.
