Mid-Century Modern options in the Coachella Valley.

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.

Desert Cities Summer Sales Numbers

Stalking a local Desert City Agent in the summer

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.

Chinese Investments in the desert

Wide Open Spaces in the desert

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.

Is Palm Springs the new Hamptons???

The Movie Colony in Palm Springs, CA.

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.

Is this a Buyers’ Market???

Our Desert real estate market shifts to a buyers' Market..

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!
