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.

Coachella Valley property

Desert Property Sellers are getting serious about moving their Coachella Valley properties as we near the end of the winter season, states Kimberley Kelly, local Realtor with HK Lane/Christie’s International. Some major price reductions have been taken recently for those Sellers intent on moving from their current properties, while others are re-considering earlier offers that they may have thought were too low! Our Coachella Valley Real Estate Market remains relatively stable, but our Inventory levels at most price points remains high. If you are looking to buy or sell in any of our 9 Desert cities, give Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

It used to be said that the HOT desert summers hindered buyers from touring properties for sale here in the beautiful Coachella Valley.  However, recent studies show that almost HALF of our yearly sales now occur in the summer!  Are summer sellers just desperate???  Not so fast. Many sellers who intend to use their Golf Course Properties, or Seasonal homes during the summer, pull them off the market. That used to be the norm.  Now that our summer foot traffic is steady ALL summer, serious sellers continue to market, show, and negotiate deals on their desert property, throughout the year. Here are some terrific recently reduced, and aggressively priced, desert properties to consider:

  1.  80908 Calle Azul in La Quinta at Puerta Azul.  The largest model at 1730+ sf., 3 beds/3 baths, reduced to just $345,000.
  2. 79300 Liga, La Quinta, located at The Citrus golf course, this fairway home has been reduced $50,000 to just $849,000.
  3. 80875 Via Portofino, La Quinta.  Custom homesite at The Hideaway Golf Club.  Listed at $1,199,000. BRING OFFER!
  4. 54475 Tanglewood, La Quinta at PGA West Palmer Private.  2 bed/2 bath Condo reduced to $249,000 TURNKEY FURNISHED, with rental history.
  5. 9574 Black Rock Cyn., Yucca Valley.  HUGE reduction from $1,350,000 to $899,000!!  Illness forces sale.  Custom home on 14 acres by National Campgrounds.

Just Listed STEAL:  47395 Monroe St., #197, Indio, CA.  $139,000. 2 bed + den and 2 bathroom Condo. CLEAN, upgraded, + detached single garage. WON’T LAST!

Mid-Century Modern options in the Coachella Valley.

mid-century modern neighborhoods

mid-century modern neighborhoods

The Coachella Valley offers mid-century Modern Homes in cities other than just Palm Springs.  The recent re-awakening of our love for anything mid-century, has swept the Coachella Valley, states Kim Kelly, local Realtor.   One of our most popular tourist events is our Modernism Week.  During the week, tours of  mid-century Modern homes designed by the likes of Donald Wexler, and William Krisel, are offered to the public.  Walking neighborhood tours are also featured, but because the Modernism week is based in Palm Springs, many people don’t realize how many of our Coachella Valley cities offer spectacular examples of this architectural style. If you’d like to check out some of our mid-century modern home areas, give Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578, or send me an e-mail at kjkpolo@gmail.com

Desert Condominiums can be Investments!

Indian Palms CC Condos in Indio, CA.  from approx. $85,000- $107,000

Indian Palms CC Condos in Indio, CA. from approx. $85,000- $107,000

Desert Condominiums can also be Investment properties.  Kimberley Kelly, with HK Lane/Christie’s International states that although Condos aren’t the lifestyle for everyone, they sure do have their advantages!  Condominiums typically have higher HOA dues, and that often scares potential home buyers off.  Be sure to examine these dues carefully.  Often, by the time you get done paying monthly for all that the HOA covers, it’s a break even situation, but you save yourself the headaches!  Condo developments range from older condos in the heart of Palm Springs, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert and Indian Wells to brand new Developments.  Ultra modern developments are springing up in Palm Springs to the West and La Quinta to the East.   If you’d like to schedule a tour of investment Condominiums, give Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.
