Montage Hotel at SilverRock..what’s up?

Montage Hotel at SilverRock to break ground spring of 2021..hope so!

Montage Hotel at SilverRock, what’s up? Living in La Quinta, I am often asked and I wonder myself..what’s going on with the Montage Hotel development at the SilverRock Golf Course?  We keep getting updates that it is going to break ground in the spring of this year.  I can say that there is definitely construction going on in Jefferson St.  They had that dug up for several months while they were installing underground improvements for the project.    The Actual SilverRock Development does have a projected opening of late 2022.

The 134 room hotel is the cornerstone of the $400 million SilverRock Golf Resort development.  Plans also include a 200 room Pendry luxury hotel, also under the Montage brand, a spa, shared convention and event center, residential condos and a second golf course.  COVID has really hit the hospitality industry as we all know, but it looks like 2021 could be the ground breaker!

The montage Hotel is expected to take about 21 months to complete.  Design plans have been submitted and approved for the planned Montage and Pendry residential condominiums and sale are better than expected the developer says.  Check out this property for sale on the edge of La Quinta..9 acres at Monroe and Avenue 52 4 homes + barn, 5 hole pitch n putt, private lake, orchard..outstanding!!

La Quinta Golf Course Communities

La Quinta Golf course communities include PGA West.

La Quinta Golf Course Communities:  Here in the Coachella Valley, we are still considered a Vacation destination.  True in that so many homeowners are seasonal, choosing to spend the typically cold months elsewhere here in the warm, gorgeous desert.  Some seasonal owners prefer gated communities, while many year round owners prefer non-gated communities.  There are pros and cons to both, and I am going to focus on gated, golf course communities in this blog.  If you are thinking of buying or selling in any of the Desert cities, give Kim Kelly, local resident and realtor a call at 760-285-3578.

Golf Course Community, or not??

The Coachella Valley offers golf course and non golf course choices for buyers

Golf Course Community or not??  The Coachella Valley has plenty of options for people that love to golf..something like 120 courses?  We also offer many non-golf course choices, some with clubhouses and other amenities, and some without.  There are several things to consider in your home buying “must haves”, before you commit to one or the other.  Many owners here in the Desert cities of the Coachella Valley, only actually reside in their homes during our perfect winter months.  Some people stay the entire season, some just a month or so, some only on weekends.  Are you looking for a golf get away, or just some amenities?  Built in social scene, or more a person that likes to gt out and mingle at some of the local ‘things to do” in each City, such as The City of La Quinta.

Market update; Coachella Valley

Market Update; Coachella Valley

A ranch style home for Sale in La Quinta, California

A ranch style home for Sale in the La Quinta, California Market

Coachella Valley home prices AND sales rose year over year in October of 2016 VS the same month in 2015. This is according to the data from the real estate research firm Corelogic DataQuick. There were 754 sales in the month of October in 2016.  The median price was $300,000.  The median just doesn’t mean that much to me, since it means that half of the sales were higher than $300,000, and half are lower than $300,000.  It still remains a great time to be a Seller.  I have to say that though the inventory numbers are still up there, the truth is the GREAT locations, preferred sun  orientation, or highly upgraded properties still sell quickly.

Resale homes seem to be preferable to New Homes this year.  New construction sales continued to stand still.  Sales of new homes have dropped by double digit percentages for the last 7 months.  The drop from last year this time in the new homes market is approx. 44%! That is astonishing.  I think the higher inventory numbers help this statistic, since buyers will tend to go to the best “deal.”

Price/ square foot varies greatly through our Valley Market

Golf course homes in La Quinta prices vary greatly

Golf course homes in the La Quinta Market prices vary greatly

Generally speaking, the price/sf. of each development within each of our 9 desert cities, has not changed much from last year. It’s either stood still, or dropped a bit.  Corelogic found that our Coachella Valley median price/sf is $167.  In my world that is a REALLY good value.  I don’t see that low of a price/sf., other than in very select communities, such as the La Quinta Cove, North La Quinta, some in South Palm Desert, Cathedral Cyn. Cove..definitely NOT the norm within the gated communities as a whole.  The median comes from the very low price/sf of $109/sf in Desert Hot Springs, $228/sf in Palm Springs, and ranging up to $700/sf at Bighorn and Madison Club in La Quinta.

Price/Acre in our Eastern Coachella Valley market

Land Sales in the Eastern Coachella Valley continue to increase.  It is not a crazy, hot market, such as in 2005/06, when the developers were scooping up large swaths of land at $100-$175,000/acre.  However, the price/acre for Vacant Land, Agricultural Land, and Equestrian Properties  is quite steady.  As with Residential properties, the closer a farm/land is to the city amenities, the higher the price/acre.  As a buyer moves more Easterly, through Vista Santa Rosa, Indio, Coachella and into Thermal, the price/acre drops.  Price/acre varies from approx. $20,000 to approx. $75,000/acre for vacant land that has water, fencing, perhaps being leased for farming.  Add a house, add a barn, add other amenities, and the price/acre is closer to $45,000/acre for a GREAT buy!  Take the tour of Chocolate Mountain Farm in Thermal California.  20 Acre horse layup farm, Ag Water Plus a private Well (installed in 2016), and a small barn…

Do you want your Pool on the fairway, or more private?

To live On or Off Fairway, is the choice for buyers looking for golf course homes to buy.  The Coachella Valley offers a myriad of options for people choosing to purchase a home in a Golf Course community.  All of our desert cities offer golf course communities.  Some cities like Indian Wells and La Quinta offer both Gated and Non-gated Golf course communities to choose between.  La Quinta, our newer desert city offers many golf enthusiasts choices, including the Public course, Silver Rock Golf Course.  If you’re committed to buying your new home in a golf course community, there will be several location options within the club itself.
