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.

Stalking a local Desert City Agent in the summer
Summer Sales in the Desert Cities of the Coachella Valley, are much different than many Sellers may think, according to local real estate agent, Kim Kelly. Living in the desert year round and working as a local real estate agent, gives you a unique perspective on Summer Sales here in the desert. There are fewer showings, true, but the season no longer ends after the Coachella Music Festivals leave town. Palm Springs Life has kindly gathered market statistics for the desert cities of Indian Wells, La Quinta, Palm Desert, Palm Springs and Rancho Mirage. These are our largest desert cities, so remember that our summer sales in Cat City, Indio, Coachella and Thermal are not even considered..and there are summer sales in all those cities as well! To schedule your tour of any Desert Cities homes, give Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

Wide Open Spaces in the desert
Are Chinese Investors headed our way??? It would seem that we are on their radar. Chinese cash is flooding American Real Estate markets. I have many clients from Vancouver, B.C., and have been hearing of the influx of big money into Canada for the past several years. The Coastal cities, San Francisco, and New York and Manhattan of course, have seen their share of mega dollars from the Chinese as well. Texas appears to be a new frontier, according to some because of it’s wide open spaces. Hmmm…is desert land in our Coachella Valley on the Chinese radar, asks Kim Kelly, local Realtor specializing in Land and Equestrian properties in the Coachella Valley.

The Movie Colony in Palm Springs, CA.
IS PALM SPRINGS THE NEW HAMPTONS? Kim Kelly, Coachella Valley Realtor, heard this reference over the past week, and it has inspired some market status inquiries. Socially, it could very well be true. Palm Springs, our most Westerly lying Coachella Valley city, is HOT! I don’t mean temperature either, but rather in demand for Real Estate. Why?? Chalk it up to Modernism Week, and our Valley’s close proximity to Los Angeles, (movie star land). We have been “discovered”. Seems so funny as I’ve lived here for 35 years, and knew all those years ago, how incredible our desert valley is. What’s happening in Palm Springs? What’s selling, and for how much? Interested in a tour of available Palm Springs area properties for sale..give Kim a call at 760-285-3578.

Our Desert real estate market shifts to a buyers’ Market..
Is this a Buyers Market? Here in the Coachella Valley, which translates to our 9 desert cities, it sure does appear that the tables have turned! The past few seasons have definitely been a Sellers’ Market, but as our season progresses, it appears to be a buyers’ market. Palm Springs on the West side of the Valley is still seeing some strong sales this past quarter, but even there, things are cooling off. Price/sf. has stopped climbing up, up, up, and seems to be moving laterally now. What is causing the change to a buyers’ market in our Real Estate Market?? Kim Kelly’s perspective is that there has been a perfect storm beginning in January of this year. First off, we are in an election year..no matter why, but elections always cause people to shy away from making any decisions they don’t absolutely HAVE to! The plunge in the oil market, the corresponding drop in our stock market, coupled with the rocky Asian Stock Market, and top that off with the decline in the Canadian Dollar!
