The Coachella Valley housing market

Coachella Valley Sold and Pending Homes:  This is from the MLS data.  It is very interesting and also educational.  It’s definitely slower than it was in 2023.  Buyers are waiting and sellers are holding.  That combination does not a strong real estate market make!  But I still encourage my buyers to continue to Look and keep a tab on the market.  Then when they are ready to step into the market, they are more educated.  If you are looking to buy or sell in the Coachella Valley, give Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

Coachella Real Estate; report from the desert

By 19 May, 2024 Market Reports

9.7 acres on the corner of Monroe/Avenue 62

Coachella Real Estate; report from the desert.  It has been an interesting season so far here in the Coachella Valley.  Everyone says it’s “slow’.  Well that’s true in that the inventory is still low, so the buyers that are looking often just don’t have a bunch of properties to view.  However, there’s another thing that’s happening.  If you are interested in buying or selling your property in the Coachella Valley, East Valley, central, or West Valley, give local resident and realtor, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

I just listed a beautiful property for a long time client of mine.  I was speaking to him about the hesitation of both buyers and sellers that I’m seeing this season.  He suggested to me that sellers are thinking like he is on this property.  “If I get full price, yes I’ll sell.  But if they make me an offer that is near, but below, or if the terms aren’t clean, I may just decide to keep it!”  As he says, yes, I have lots of equity and it doesn’t make sense not to take a GREAT offer.  On the other hand if I sell, I’m out of the Coachella Valley market because I can’t find anything to replace it.  Rates are high, prices are steady, so as he says, not like there are alot of “deals around.”

Coachella Valley real estate, homes, farms or land.

I do think this is part of it.  I’ve taken offers that the seller says they’ll accept, but when they get it, they change their minds.  I have buyers doing the same thing..writing a good offer, then rescinding it the next day.  People are very up and down this year.  Will this change any time soon?  I do believe that even one reduction in I rates will drive more buyers to commit, but then they will hit the same issue as buyers have now, which is low inventory.

If you are thinking of buying, and you find a home or property you like, and the purchase price is within your range, I would really think about committing.  You will be competing against more buyers when the I rate does go down.  If you are a seller, and an offer comes in at or very near your ask, take it.

Top 5 things consumers want in a new property

By 28 Mar, 2024 Market Reports

5 things for local realtors to keep in mind

Top 5 things consumers want in a new property:  Full disclosure..these 5 things came from a survey taken by Coldwell Banker.  I’m not a huge believer in surveys because let’s face it; most of us don’t even answer our phones!  But..I do like reading them and I figure there is always something interesting and pertinent to my real estate business.  Keeping up on various data, reports, surveys, and of course social media helps realtors keep up on changing ideas.  Can’t hurt!  If you are looking to buy or sell real estate in the Coachella Valley, give local resident and realtor, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

Top 5 Things 

  1.  Price over location:  Well, this would be a switch, but also very understandable.  56% of respondents in this survey prioritize price over location.  This priority is particularly notable among women, with 60% valuing price first compared to 48% of men.  Feels like this is a direct reflection of our high prices and low inventory!
  2. Relocation:  Sellers who plan to sell their homes in the future are considering relocation, with 66% saying they plan to relocate to a different city, state or country.  I work with buyers who are thinking of re locating often.  Generally, we start with exchanging information about the area, country clubs, gathering general information on what they are looking for.
  3. Social Media influence:  This stat was startling to me..43% of consumers report being influenced or highly influenced by social media in home buying decisions.  That number is even higher among luxury consumers , with 73% saying the same.  PUt it on Instagram or Tik Tok I guess is the motto here!
  4. What is your dream property?  There is no one size fits all, other than 49% say their dream home is “mid size” with 3-4 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms.  Nearly a third of consumers prefer homes in the South, and a quarter favor the Northeast.  When it comes to style, the younger (18-24) is the least likely to favor “ranch” (8%) while the 55+ group is most like to favor ranch (21%).  There was a 16% response from buyers that indicated they had no style preference.
  5. Would you use a Realtor:  This one wasn’t actually a part of the survey, but I strongly believe we still have a very important role in the buying and selling of properties.   I’m working with a Calif. licensed agent right now.  She doesn’t work the Coachella Valley, and chose to work with a professional who DOES work the Coachella Valley.  I KNOW the area, and I know the comps.  We listed her property at a fair market value, and we got a full priced offer in 26 days.  We agents DO have an important role to play in the buying or selling process!

La Quinta non-gated communities sales report.  Many of my clients do NOT want to live in gated, HOA controlled communities, but rather have more individual freedoms offered by the non-gated communities of La Quinta.  The City of La Quinta is gorgeous, well located at the Eastern side of the Coachella Valley, and offers a museum, parks, fabulous restaurants, incredible hiking, and nearby access to the Coachella Music Festival grounds.  The non-gated communities are Desert Club Estates, the Yucatan, La Quinta Cove, Highland Palms and Flores Montanas.  If you are looking to buy or sell in the La Quinta area, give local resident and realtor, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

What do clients want in their Realtor??

By 15 Feb, 2024 Market Reports

Looking for a GOOD Coachella Valley Realtor?

What do clients want in their Realtor??  OK, let’s clarify here that EVERY agent is a unique individual and EVERY client is a singularly unique human being (or group of humans!)  That being said, after 22 years in this business here in the Coachella Valley, there are some things that nearly all of my clients want from me as their agent.  If you are looking to buy or sell your home, land, or equestrian farm in any of the 9 Coachella Valley cities, give local resident and agent, Kim Kelly a call at 760-285-3578.

5 Things Clients ALL  need in their Realtor!

  1.  Where are  you???  I cannot tell you how many times a person became my client simply because I was the only Realtor that returned their phone call!  What??  Every single person looking for property needs a responsive Realtor.
  2. Communicative:  I sure wish my fellow realtors would return MY calls or inquiries.  Good grief.  Just shoot your clients an update..even if all you have to say, text or email is “Nothing new, but don’t worry, I’m on it!  I’ll let you know as soon as I hear from the seller.”
  3. Know the Inventory:  This was the very first thing my mentor told me when I switched from New Home Sales into Resales.  We cannot know every single home, but we can certainly know the general inventory of a specific property type in a specific valley location.
  4. What is the correct offer price?   It’s my job as your representative to do the research in regards to the property you are interested in, but also in regards to what has sold that is a GOOD comp for that property.  Every offer is not only about the offer price, but also about the terms.  Each seller may have a very specific reason for selling, and that will influence the terms that best suit them.
  5. Understand the steps of a purchase or sale:  My clients have not done the hundreds of deals over my many years that I have.  Each deal is different, each situation is different, so knowing local lenders, appraisers, survey companies, inspectors, county contacts, city contacts.  These are the connections you make by experience, and there is no substitute!
  6. Take a tour of this amazing 77 acre farm in Vista Santa Rosa.
