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.

Equestrian Property Specialist 760-285-3578
What IS an Equestrian Property Specialist??? Being a “Specialist” in anything usually means that person knows more about that subject than most of the rest of us do. To call myself a Short Sale Specialist, I had to get the required certifications, attend classes, but most of all…I had to List, negotiate and CLOSE dozens and dozens of Short Sales. I did. What does it require to call yourself an Equestrian Property Specialist? Years of experience with Horses first and foremost. There is simply NO way to learn about what a horse woman requires to maintain a horse properly, other than to live it. I made my living as a professional Polo Player for 18 years, basing my horse operations out of our local Eldorado Polo Club in Indio, California.

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.

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.

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.

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.
