The Eldorado Polo Club Track
Equestrian Update as we head into 2016 Season: Hard to believe, but the extreme Summer Desert heat is becoming just a memory. Though I have to admit that the last couple days have been pretty humid, and temps are still in the 90’s. My unheated swimming Pool is still at 80-81 degrees so I’m still swimming my daily laps. I’ve started riding the Horses in sets early in the mornings, in preparation for their move to Deer Creek on November 1. I’ve also seen an uptick in local traffic..both on the streets and in the stores and restaurants. Our Equestrian Residents are returning to town and I see rigs on a daily basis, taking their polo ponies out to pasture to rest. Have seen several large hauling vans with Hunter/jumpers arriving early as well. Horse people are preparing for the 2016 season already! It’s a great time to think about looking at Equestrian Farms and Land in our amazing East Valley.

Andalusia is one of Coachella Music Festival favorites.
Coachella Valley Music Festival Homes for Sale. Today the line up for the Stagecoach Festival 2016 part of the Coachella Valley Music Festival was announced. It’s another good one! Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood are two of the headliners. It’s not too early to start thinking about where you’re going to stay when you come to the Festival this coming year. The Coachella Valley Music Festival at the Empire Polo Grounds continues to grow. It’s growth has had an enormous affect on our local economy, and that certainly pertains to Housing.
Many of the Music Festival goers prefer to Lease a Condo or home for their desert experience. Our Luxury Lease Market has increased dramatically, in no small part to the numbers of people locking down rentals as far as a year ahead of time. Many of my clients started out as part time lease clients, and have moved into buyers of seasonal properties!
