We know it can be all about location—especially for those of you who have chosen to search for Palm Springs homes for sale. Yet each community is different and has its own pros and cons that are specific to each buyer. What’s right for one family may not be right for another, so it’s important to determine in advance what you need from the community you live in so that you can factor that into your search and make your realtor aware of your needs. Read on for a few elements to consider.
Determine your deal breakers. Whether you’re buying on your own or with a spouse/partner, you should sit down and write a list of the things you need and what you want from a home. Figure out which things you cannot live without so you know what your deal breakers are. For example, some families, especially those searching for Palm Springs homes for sale, really want a home with a pool or yard so they can enjoy the outdoors. Others may be looking for a particular style of architecture or number of bedrooms. Figure out what matters most for you.
The Commute. A major consideration for many buyers is the commute they will have to work, school and other places they and other family members need to go on a regular basis. Think about your parameters for the longest amount of time you’re willing to spend in the car and factor that into your list.
Amenities. Many move to the Palm Springs Valley so they can enjoy some of the myriad amenities available, such as golf, tennis, shopping, fine dining, nightlife, cultural options and spa services. If you love the great outdoors or you have children who like to play sports, you may want to live in close proximity to pools and parks, as well as golf and tennis courts, hiking trails, and any other outdoor activities that your family enjoys.
