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.

Desert Club Estates in La Quinta, Calif.

Arnold Palmers' Restaurant is walking distance away...

Arnold Palmers’ Restaurant is walking distance away…

Desert Club Estates in La Quinta, Calif.  This is a very unique neighborhood.  It’s location is brillliant, tucked behind The Citrus Golf Club and across the street from The Tradition Golf Club.  Put on your tennis, grab your bike, or jump into your Golf Cart and head to Silver Rock Resort, Arnold Palmers’ Restaurant, Old Town La Quinta, Fritz Burns park for a game of Tennis.  Behind the wall on the corner of Washington and 52nd lies this non-gated, non-golf course community with NO monthly HOA’s!

What I love the best about this “hole in the wall” desert community, is the location.  You can literally walk across Washington at Tampico, and head to the La Quinta Library, take a Yoga class at the Yoga studio, take a stroll through the park like grounds of the La Quinta Civic Center, hit the new Wellness Center, or head on to Old town La Quinta to shop or grab a meal.  Biking is another way to get around.  If you want exercise, head across 52nd to the Fritz Burns Park, where there are public Tennis courts, a public Pool, or watch the kids in the Skate Park.  Hiking?  Just head up Bermudas to the Top of the Cove, where there are several Trail heads, and head out.  Golf at the public Silverrock course, or several nearby other public golf courses.

La Quinta Neighborhood of the week: The Citrus Golf Club

The Citrus Golf Club in La Quinta offers location and Views!

The Citrus Golf Club in La Quinta offers location and Views!

La Quinta Neighborhood of the week:  The Citrus Golf Club.  People are back in force.  Our winter residents are returning to our beautiful desert for the winter months.  Holidays are just around the corner, Listings are becoming more plentiful, and the over seeding of our Golf Courses and Polo Fields is raging!  If you have been thinking of buying on a Golf Course in La Quinta, be sure to check out The Citrus Golf Club.

Buying on a Golf Course can sometimes mean you HAVE to purchase a membership.  You don’t at The Citrus.  The Citrus Golf Club has it’s own private Pete Dye course, and a recently remodeled clubhouse with fitness center, but The Citrus is also part of the La Quinta Hotel Club & Spa.  That means that it is possible to use the amenities at the La Quinta Spa, and play the public courses.  One of the things I hear often from buyers that I show The Citrus Golf Club to is, “The HOA’s are so reasonable!”  The monthly Homeowners association is only $335/month.  Very reasonable for a Golf Course development in La Quinta.
