Coachella Music Festival

Coachella Valley Festival traffic

52 and Van Buren, a short jog or golf cart ride to Festival grounds.

Coachella Valley Festival traffic is always a challenge!  I live here year round in La Quinta, sell real estate in all 9 desert cities, and keep my horses in Coachella, so I need to plan my attacks during festival.  The first weekend of the festival is over and I am happy to report that our local roads were congested to be sure, but also flowed to keep people moving along.  This is the Festival Map provided by the City, which helps to orientate you.

The roads are clearly marked here in the desert, so pay attention.  There are quite a few traffic roundabouts in the desert valley, which are very successful in keeping traffic slow and moving.  You will run into one on Jefferson and 52, and again on Jefferson just in front of the Hideaway Golf Club.

Homeowners that live near Coachella Festival grounds, such as at Rancho Santana, anywhere on Avenue 49, The Citrus Club, Tradition and Hideaway, are all issued passes, and if you go to the stores, or restaurants fairly early, you’ll be fine.  I’ve asked local restaurant owners if they saw large influxes of clients.  Old Town La Quinta, says quite the opposite..people stay away for the weekends of festival.  Marios on 50/Jefferson says it’s just normal numbers.  Take a look at this potential Short Term Rental investment property, known as Pineapple Hill Retreat, offered at just $1,650,000.

Locals and the Music Festival!!

Coachella Music Festival grounds are larger and even grander!

Locals and the Music Festival!!  As with all relationships,there is a yin and a yang to the three weekends of the Coachella Music Festivals.  The first two bring in current superstars, future hopefuls, and recent New Musical discoveries in the Coachella Music Festival.  The only difference this season was the SIZE of the Festival..the city approved a newly enhanced limit of 125,000 people.  The grounds themselves were larger too.  All this was FANTASTIC!  But…increased traffic, increased litter, long waits, detours to stay away from the busy streets..some inconveniences for us locals.

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.

Music Festivals to Expand?

Coachella Music Festival Fall Events???

Coachella Music Festivals Fall Events???

The Coachella Music Festivals in Indio, California look very likely to add a few more Fall events to their Festival schedule.  Fall events could help our Coachella Valley expand the tourism season a few more months, and attract even more visitors to the Valley.  Because I sell Condos, Homes, and Farms, which are often used as Luxury Lease properties during the Festival times, this makes even more sense to Buyers!  If you are thinking about purchasing an Investment property, that could be used as a Lease property during the Festivals, give me a call at 760-285-3578.

Coachella Music Festival Lease Properties

PGA West is a popular destination for our Music Festival attendees

PGA West is a popular destination for our Music Festival attendees

Coachella Music Festival Lease Properties:  One of the positives of having the HUGE success of the Coachella Music Festivals, is the increased demand for Leases.  Not all Music Festival requested Lease properties are “Luxury”.  Meaning simply that not everyone has rich tastes.  There are many, many demands for people visiting that are quite happy with a small condo at Indian Palms Country Club, and many people actually prefer a regular place at PGA West.  So..”Luxury” can mean a different type of Music Festival experience to each visitor to our beautiful Coachella Valley.  If you’re thinking of purchasing an investment property, let me set up a tour for you!  760-285-3578.
