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.

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.

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.

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.
