Coachella Valley Event Sites for Sale

by

A perfect Coachella Valley Event site on 9+ acres.

Coachella Valley Event Sites for Sale.  What is an event site?  What do people use an event site for?  What makes a good event site?  The Coachella Valley, with all it’s special events, including the Music Festival, is a premier site for Events of all types.  The West valley, Palm Springs itself, draws a particular set of events, and the East Valley tends to draw the interest of another set.  If you think you might be interested in finding an event site in the Coachella Valley, give local Realtor, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

What Types of Events are held at Coachella Valley Event Sites?  Events like Weddings, Quincineras’, Fathers’ Day parties, Birthday parties, Retirement parties, Golf Groups, Music Sponsored events, Equestrian participant events, Corporate Sponsored Events..pretty much anything you can dream up a party for!

What Size is a typical Event Site?  Event sites vary as much as personal homes do.  Typically, an event site that would generate the most money, is one with lots of room.  Add to that, location and views, and it becomes even more desirable.  Properties of an acre to five acres can be hugely requested.

Do Coachella Valley Cities allow Events?  Check with the City you are thinking of buying in.  Because it’s so popular here in the valley to rent rooms, or entire homes, for short term rentals, or events.  There may very well be permits required for large events.

Desert Farm, Housing & Equestrian Update

by

Look at this VIEW in a Coachella Valley home!!

Desert Farm, Housing & Equestrian Update:  2020 has proven to be a big year in the real estate world in the Coachella Valley.  COVID 19 contributed for sure, in that people who love the desert, but had not committed to owning a desert farm, land, Equestrian and certainly residential properties wanted to get out into the wide open desert spaces!  I had buyers that had been interested in buying in our desert, but had been waiting for “the right time.”  It seems that 2020 IS the right time!  If you’re interested in learning the value of your Coachella Valley, give Kim a call at 760-285-3578.

Our overall inventory is pretty low, for residential properties, in all price points, except the uber luxury properties.  If a property is priced correctly, based on it’s location, light, floorplan, and all the other factors of the home in it’s particular community, it WILL sell. I have run into the problem of sellers who think that because the market is “hot”, they can price their property as high as they want.  I try to help them understand that the buyers set the market, not sellers.  Even in a hot market, the market is set by the buyers..they will always tell you what your product’s market value is.  Sellers may accept that or keep their property.

Land and Equestrian properties are selling in the same way.  Price/acre is still pretty steady, but smaller farms with stick and mortar (Permanent) homes are in very high demand.  Well located parcels of clean land are also in demand.  These vacant parcels sell because they are good prospects to add a home on later.  The farm featured below, Chocolate Mountain Farm is a beautiful 20 acre, fenced parcel in the East Valley.  Featuring it’s own well, approx. 90 date producing palms, a 5 stall barn, and stellar views. 

Coachella Valley real estate update

Coachella Valley Real Estate Update:  

81647 Andalusia Dr.

Private Pools are popular in the Coachella Valley

What’s Selling?  Here in the Coachella Valley, our normal cycle of real estate sales, would see us heading into the slow season.  As the summer heats up, we generally see less activity.  However, with the COVID virus, it seems that people are streaming into the desert!  They want the heat, the space, the lower density, just less stress I guess.  In general, our inventory is low.  I was out showing properties for between 4 and $600,000 in Palm Desert or La Quinta.  No HOA was mandatory.  We looked at 6 or 7 homes over a couple weekends, and each one went into escrow!  We finally wrote on one in South PD, and got it.  This is not unusual.  Call Kim Kelly for your FREE consultation on Value for your Home or info. on a community in the Coachella Valley.  760-285-3578.

How About the Entry Level Homes?  The Entry level home in the Coachella Valley are priced between $250,000 to approx. $350,000..and they are hard to find!  If you are ok with a Condo, there are options, but if you want a single family home, the choices are limited.  If a home comes on the market and it’s in good condition, in this price point, it won’t sit more than a couple weeks max.  Lots of people looking, and not much out there.

What’s happening with Prices?  Stable is the game right now.  Not increasing or decreasing.  We have not seen a run up on prices, nor have we seen huge reductions.  If you price your property fairly, it’s in good condition, has a view and a good floorplan, it will sell.  Each community within each City is unique, but overall, things are steady as they go.

What about Loans?  Wow..a great time to get a loan!!  Less than 3% for a conventional 30 year fixed, and even better for a 15 year.  I am finding that jumbo loans are a bit more finicky to obtain, so have your docs in order.  Be pre-approved with a local Lender as product is selling fast, and there are alot of cash buyers as your competition.  Local Lenders & Appraisers hold some sway with Sellers as they know the market.

Overall, it’s looking to be a very active summer season here in the Coachella Valley.  Land and Farms are also moving, and residential units do NOT sit long, so if you see something you like, go after it!  Take this walk tour of 81647 Andalusia at the Andalusia CC in La Quinta.  Offered at $1,199,000.

SOLD! Coachella Valley farm

Coachella farm sold

SOLD! Beautiful Citrus Farm in Thermal, California.

SOLD!  Coachella Valley farm.  Another Coachella Valley Farm sold!  I represented the Buyer on the purchase of this gorgeous Citrus farm in Thermal, CA.  What fun!  My client had decided to build a family estate that would be his dream desert retreat, and also a place to have family gatherings during the Coachella Music Festival.  But first, we had to locate the perfect location.  If you are looking to buy or sell in any of the desert cities in the Coachella Valley, call local resident Realtor, Kim Kelly at 760-285-3578.

Homes in our Coachella Valley are finding their footing after the impact of the Corona Virus.  Many Sellers have decided to pull their homes off the market and wait to see how the season looks.  I’ve had multiple buyers pull back and decide to wait..never sure how things will go, so not sure that’s a good idea.  I believe it’s best to base your purchase on what you REALLY want.  If it’s not exactly what you’ve been waiting for in terms of location and Sun and views, wait.  The homes listed that DO offer those key things, sell very quickly..in all price points.

Coachella Valley Farm Land on the other hand is still moving.  My guess there is that there isn’t that much of it left, and the price/acre has not accelerated through the roof as it did in 2005-2006.  Price/acre is fairly consistent based on location, nearness to amenities, and projected use by the buyer.  My client for this farm wanted to be in ONE area for his Coachella Valley Farm, so inventory is extremely limited.  The seller was in a position to sell, and so timing was perfect.  Take my little walk tour of this gorgeous 37 acre farm in Thermal.  It’s a 5 minute drive to the Coachella Music Festival grounds, so a key location in our incredible Coachella Valley!

 

Why choose the Eastern Coachella Valley?

by

Indoor to outdoor living is is why so many people choose the Coachella Valley for Investments.

Why choose the Eastern Coachella Valley?  There are many reasons other than our supurb weather that people choose the Coachella Valley to live in.  The outdoorsy way most people live here, the entertainment venues, the incredible hiking options, parks, and fabulous eateries.  I find that most people, when they are searching for a home in the desert, have very specific things they want.  Some people want to be near the nightlife and museums, galleries and excitement.  Others are looking for solice, peace, more of a quiet life.  The Eastern Coachella Valley is known for it’s more rural, open feel, less traffic, and less density.  Thinking of looking for a house in the Coachella Valley..call local realtor, Kim Kelly at 760-285-3578.

EASTERN COACHELLA VALLEY ASSETS

1.  Fantastic VIEWS!  The entire Coachella Valley offers views, depending on what you are looking for.  The Eastern side of the desert offers spectacular mountain views, Chocolate and Santa Rosa mountains and often over large expanses of open space.

2.  Slower pace:  Compared to the Western valley which includes Palm Springs, the Eastern Coachella Valley, is slower.  Farms, farmers, equestrian people, artists, plus larger pieces of land if you so want it!  Less traffic is another perk.

3.  Things to do:  Unique to the Eastern Valley are some unusual activities, including Polo, HITS Horse show, The Thermal Car Club, hot air ballooning, and the Salton Sea.

..and of course, lots of golf courses, music venues and Art Galleries!  The tour below is just a walking tour of part of The Quarry golf course in Eastern La Quinta…

 

La Quinta Golf Course Communities

by

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.
