Indoor stalls with misters, high roofs, and fans is the 5 star treatment!

The Equestrians of the desert, learn how to live and ride in the summer heat.  For new summer residents with horses, or Locals that are simply preparing for another stretch of intense Heat, Here is how most of us deal with it!  Kimberley Kelly, Equestrian Property specialist with HK Lane/Christie’s International, has been working through the heat for many years.  “I tell my new ranch owners, or summer riders that their daily riding life is about to change!” Kim states.  As we get near, it’s time to stock up on the summer stable supplies, repair your shaders, double check your sources of water, and do your general property maintenance NOW before the heat really sets in!  If you’re interested in some great horse properties, give Kim 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.

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.

Music Festivals bring fans & $ to Indio, CA.

Music Festivals bring millions to the City of Indio, Calif.  The city of Indio has always been known to the Locals as “The City of Festivals.”  Before the Coachella Music Festivals, that generally meant The Indio Date Festival and the Tamale Festival!  Not any more.  The sleepy city of old Indio has now gained acknowledgement as the home of the highest ranked Music Festival in the world!  Tickets for the 2016 Coachella Music and Arts Festival sold out in less than an hour.  These two festivals, ranked #1, and #3 respectively, brought in more than $106 million for their organizers in 2015.  Forbes ranked them first and third on the list of highest grossing music festivals of the year.  (Desert Sun)  If you’re thinking of buying or selling in the desert, give me a call at 760-285-3578.

Are Short Sales making a Comeback?

PGA West Short Sale at 80775 Weiskopf

PGA West Short Sale at 80775 Weiskopf

Are Short Sales making a comeback in the Coachella Valley?  Being a certified Short Sale Agent here in the Coachella Valley, California,  I am definitely seeing an uptick in distressed homeowner activity.  More calls from tentative sellers.  More requests for short sale information.  More inquiries regarding the Short Sale process with a particular lender.  Throughout the Valley, Short Sales have remained relatively low over the past 3 years or so.  Our housing market has stabilized to a large degree, so why the gradual increase in activity?  I suspect there are several things that are happening in our economies that are converging to create a perfect time for the Short Sale process to once again gain momentum.   If you have questions regarding a potential short sale, give me a call for your FREE consultation at 760-285-3578.

What’s so Cool about Bermuda Dunes?

Bermuda Dunes offers custom homes on large parcels!

Bermuda Dunes offers custom homes on large parcels!

What’s so cool about Bermuda Dunes?  Bermuda Dunes is a funky little community in our Coachella Valley.  It truly stands alone in it’s feel, and the very unique mix of property options available for buyers to consider.  Located in the more Northeastern side of the Valley, Bermuda Dunes offers a rural flavor, yet plenty of nearby City folk amenities!  Golf course Condos & Homes, single family residences in gated and non-gated communities, large, equestrian friendly properties, and light commercial spaces, all reside in harmony in Bermuda Dunes.

Festivals coming up next weekend in the Coachella Valley.

Coachella Valley Festivals rock on..

Festivals coming up next weekend in the Coachella Valley.  Indio is formally known as our desert “City of Festivals.”, but our desert should really be called “The Valley of the Festivals.” We all know by now of the magnitude of the Coachella Music Festival, followed by the Stagecoach Festival in April.  I suppose the success of these Festivals, along with the original Indio Date Festival, has just naturally dovetailed into Festival this, and Festival that.  No matter..this coming weekend, is a weekend of Festivals to kick off our follow up to Halloween, and intro to Thanksgiving Celebrations in the Coachella Valley.….
