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

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.

La Quinta Equestrian Estate:  Back on the market for the season, and my sellers are SERIOUS!  Total price reduction of $750,000 to our new List Price of $3,200,000.  An independent appraisal was done in August of 2016, and that is what we have based our reduced List Price on.  55075 Monroe St., in La Quinta is a turnkey 4 acre estate, located near to the Coachella Music Festival grounds.  This property has an estimated 6% CAP rate based on the current list price return as a Luxury Lease Event site!  That means you could buy your dream Equestrian estate, stay in it for the winter, and lease it out (not the barn/paddocks!) for the 5 Music Festival weekends, or as many events as you are open to.  Call me for your personal tour today.  760-285-3578 [Read more…]

Equestrian Property Specialist

Equestrian Property Specialist 760-285-3578

What IS an Equestrian Property Specialist???  Being a “Specialist” in anything usually means that person knows more about that subject than most of the rest of us do.  To call myself a Short Sale Specialist, I had to get the required certifications, attend classes, but most of all…I had to List, negotiate and CLOSE dozens and dozens of Short Sales.  I did.  What does it require to call yourself an Equestrian Property Specialist?  Years of experience with Horses first and foremost.  There is simply NO way to learn about what a horse woman requires to maintain a horse properly, other than to live it.  I made my living as a professional Polo Player for 18 years, basing my horse operations out of our local Eldorado Polo Club in Indio, California.

Polo and HITS update.  Summer is winding down, the weather is cooling, and the polo fields are under attack!!  Desert Trip is about here, and the two polo clubs, Empire and Eldorado, are both construction sites!  Trucks, fences, tents, workers…everywhere.  The Empire Polo club will begin it’s 2017 season officially on January 1, with polo tournaments every weekend after that.  The Eldorado Polo Club, which is right next door, also begins it’s season in January.  While both Polo clubs are rocking and rolling with Polo games, the nearby HITS Horseshow grounds in Thermal, are preparing their grounds for the influx of horses and trainers.   [Read more…]

What’s the Canadian real estate market doing??

Is the Canadian market heading down the road to a crash?

Is the Canadian market heading down the road to a crash?

What’s the Canadian real estate market doing?  I asked myself this question at the end of last season..about June of this year.  Not having a huge number of Canadian buyers in my real estate sales, it was interesting to hear all the agents lamenting about the fleeing of Canadians from our market.  We do have a large number of Canadians who purchased their Winter Vacation homes in the desert.  Our gorgeous winters, and quick flights to Vancouver certainly helped this market. But also..Canadians LOVE  a deal!!  When we were in recovery from our own real estate bomb, which ended about 4th quarter of 2011, scores of Canadians and other International buyers and investors, as well as our own Fix-n-flippers, snapped up bargain properties.  We have been moving laterally for the past several years in our price/sf. real estate closings, and our market has largely stabilized.  An interesting read this morning in the Vancouver Sun, caused me to think about the Canadian real estate market and how it might affect our own Coachella Valley real estate market. Huge Tax Windfall highlights BC’s real estate dependence.   [Read more…]

Equestrian Properties for 2017.  2016 is not over, but my Equestrian Sellers are either wrapping up because we’ve SOLD their property, OR getting geared up to JUST LIST their Equestrian Estates for the 2017 season.  The Coachella Valley is an extremely active area for horse lovers.  The East Valley in particular offers lots of open land, BLM land, a myriad of trails, riding clubs, and of course the HITS circuit and the International Polo Circuit.  HITS Thermal is an A rated horseshow, running from January through March.  The Sunshine series is in November, and includes competition for ponies.  The Polo is spectacular as well… [Read more…]

High Desert Hipcamps; the new rage!

High Desert magic!

High Desert Hipcamps; the new Rage!!  Not only is the high desert one of the most mesmerizing locations on the planet, but it appears that the high desert cities are becoming ever more hip.  The high desert, according to Kim Kelly, Coachella Valley Realtor, has become even more attractive to our desert visitors.  Just about everyone knows about the Joshua Tree National Park, and the Black Rock Canyon Campground, but local homeowners are opening their properties for local campers.

Kimberley Kelly’s real estate activity

Real Estate Sales are up in the Coachella Valley, California.

Real Estate Sales are up in the Coachella Valley, California.

Kimberley Kelly, local Coachella Valley realtor, is having a busy summer!  My colleagues report the same..activity is UP in our desert valley.  In my 16 years of real estate experience in our Coachella valley cities, it seems that when the builders return to building New Homes, resale properties follow suit.  My “Best Buy” homes under $100,000, to the luxury home on the lake at PGA West, to Equestrian Estates in high and low deserts, the buyers have returned!  One of the new Palm Springs housing developments on the old Palm Springs golf course, has just received approval..Serena.  

Recent Farm Sales, and continuing activity around investment Land, farms, and luxury Equestrian Estates, also signal that buyers are serious.  If you’re looking to buy, Sell, or just get more information, give me a call at 760-285-3578. [Read more…]

Summer Sales are Sizzling!

PGA West TURNKEY home on the fairway for sale; $1,450,000

PGA West TURNKEY home on the fairway for sale; $1,450,000

Summer Sales are Sizzling in the Coachella Valley!  I know it’s not because the air temperatures have cooled down because we are pretty much guaranteed triple digits every day.  I suspect it’s more a leveling out of all the negative news from the first quarter of 2016..crashing oil prices, Asian Stock Market crash, Canadian dollar crash, and we cannot forget that it’s an election year.  All these things combined to help buyers put on the brakes for the first Q of 2016.  The second Q was smokin however, for our Coachella Valley summer sales, and the third Quarter summer sales are starting out the same.  Desert Home Sales jumped approx. 12% in June. I’m finding that all my listings are getting activity, or are in escrow, from the ultra affordable Condos below $100,000 – luxury Equestrian estates at 3-4 million.  With Loans lower than ever (thank you Brexit!), it’s a great time to buy the Coachella Valley, give me a call at 760-285-3578.
