MALIBU—As of Friday, June 12, Chad Hayes – one of the two co-writers of “The Conjuring” – has reduced the price of his townhouse in Malibu’s exclusive Point Dume area 3 times.
Public records reveal that the property was originally listed for $1.3 million in January this year. This price was reduced to $1.25 million in February, and further lessened by $5,000 to $1.245 million on June 12. In May, the home was listed for rent at $8,000 per month, but this amount has since decreased to $7,000.
Located on a 3.25-acre lot at 6435 Zumirez Dr. Apt. 20, the 2,292 square foot home contains 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Both bedrooms are master suites with their own jacuzzi tubs. One has a fireplace, while the other has 2 balconies and a walk-in closet. There is also a large, separate office that can function as a third bedroom.
According to the official description, the “exterior grounds are tropical and give the complex a resort feel.” There is a private patio in the backyard with foliage and a fountain, and a saltwater pool is situated “a short distance from your front door.”
Juan Cabrillo Elementary School and Malibu High School are around 2 miles away from the property.
Hayes purchased the house on March 31, 2015 for $1.005 million, and records on the property website Zillow show that he received a pending offer two days later for $44,000 more (but this deal appears to have fallen through). He listed it in May 2018 for $1.285 million, and decreased the price before taking the property off the market two months later.
