...your online source for Coachella Valley real estate. The Coachella Valley consists of several desert cities, each with its own flavor and atmosphere.  You can learn more about each community on the Desert Communities tab. To search real estate for sale in any city or community within the Coachella Valley simply Search MLS Listings.   You can do this anonymously, without providing contact information. Stay informed and up to date with market information.  Steve's blogs (where your comments are always welcome and appreciated) are relevant to the Palm Springs area real estate market; while the Market Information tab provides both valley-specific and general real estate information, such as the 2008 Remodeling Costs Vs. Value Report.

The age old real estate adage, "location, location, location", has become secondary in this market and has been replaced by "price, price, price".  Of course, location is important, but buyers are more price sensitive than anytime in recent memory.  If you are a seller you do not have control over your location.  However, you do have control over how your home looks in order to generate the highest price in the shortest period of time - for ideas check our To Do List for Sellers.  Ultimately, how soon your home sells will be based largely on your asking (listing) price.  As a seller it is imperative your home is priced right.  The price must be in line with what has sold, factoring in the market trend. Does this mean sellers should price their homes to be the lowest priced home in their community or that buyers should buy only the lowest price home?  Not necessarily.  Determining a listing price or offer price is more complicated than simply pricing it lower than any other home.  Feel free to contact us for information pertinent to your area of interest. Both home buyers and sellers require detailed information, relevant to each community, to understand the market as it pertains to their home or area of interest.  As former CPAs, with a combined 7 years of real estate experience, both Steve and Lynda are skilled in market analysis.  Arming both sellers and buyers with the information they need to make informed decisions regarding the sale and purchase of a home.  Currency conversion is available at the Exchange and Mortgage Calculations section.  At the same tab you can calculate your mortgate payment based on your choice of variables.
