Coachella Music and Arts Festival (www.coachella.com), which features popular genres, such as alternative rock, hip-hop, and electronica, draws huge crowds and sells out so fast that this year organizers added a second (identical) weekend.

Selling a home and living in your home aren’t the same. When you are ready to sell your home, it’s important to unclutter every room in the house, including the closets and garage!Let’s start with the closets: If you are like many, you’ve probably held onto that old jacket, dress or sweater “just in case” you might wear it again, and in some instances, fit into it again. The rule of thumb here is “if you haven’t worn it in the past 12 months, then get rid of it.” Take it to your favorite thrift shop or hold a garage sale and let someone else enjoy them for a while. 5 ways to get more space, make smaller rooms look larger! Once you have discarded all those unworn items, now it’s time to arrange your clothes in an orderly fashion. Hang all the blouses or shirts together, hang the slacks t...

Summer is here and so are the openings of many swimming pools, both public and private. Kids will be donning their swimming suits and water wings and rushing out to the pool…which is exactly what they should NOT be doing. “Walk, don’t RUN” rules need to be told to each child using the pool. Many serious accidents happen when kids run, slip and fall. Pool decks are mighty slippery. Another rule that must be followed is “NO glass in the pool area.” Plastic cups should be the only utensil allowed by the pool. And please keep the noise level down, for both voices and music. Other’s may be trying to relax by the pool. Loud noises can be very disturbing. And most importantly, don’t take your eyes off the “little ones,” even for a minute. It only takes a minute or two to drown. Pools can be a ...

For much of the country, and areas in California, home sales and prices have not risen, however, that is not the case in our beautiful Palm Springs Desert, where home prices and sales are RISING! According to the local newspaper, which obtains their figures from Data Quick, sales are 23% more than they were a year ago, and prices are slowly beginning to creep upwards as well. This past quarter, we saw a 3.4% gain in prices. Buyers…. what are you waiting for? In the Coachella Valley, which encompasses the nine cities that form our fabulous desert area, businesses are also seeing economic booms from a year ago. Last week I was filming at the Knott’s Soak City Water Park. They were expecting about 800 guests. They had over 1600 by midday! Hotels are also seeing an increase in business over...

Southern California Music Festival Coachella 2011 Line Up Announced Today! Check out Line up for Coachella 2012! Coachella, the greatest music festival in Southern California isn't happening till April but the always hyped up release of the line up has happened today midway through January. The 3-day fest takes place in the desert region of the Coachella Valley in Indio on the Polo Fields. The weather is always hot but so are the bands and the people that have been showing up to the festival that's been around since 1997. Each of the headliners listed on the line up so far aren't big surprises as each of them have played the festival before. One surprise listed on the line up close to the headlining spot (that should probably actually be in the headlining spot) is Duran Duran. With a li...

Speeding the Resale of Foreclosed Properties in the Coachella Valley..When an investor buys a property at Trustee Sale, fixes it up, then lists it, the listing states that "due to the FHA flip rule, FHA loans are not available.."  or something to that affect.According to this article below, HUD is changing the rule on Feb. 1, 2010 so that within certain perameters, FHA mortgage Ins. and therefore FHA loans will now be available!  Here in the Coachella Valley, where this is a very common occurance, I see this as a positive.  As long as the mark up isn't huge, and it fits the Lender's conditions, this can help first timers get a great buy.  I am seeing fixed up homes being listed every day here in La Quinta and South Palm Desert, that are currently unavailable to Buyers hoping to purchase...

Last night, Jackson Square Shopping Center did a great thing that  think people need to know about.  Albertsons and the surrounding buisnesses donated money to host a middle school choir competition in their parking lot.  Not only did several people show up to hear these youth sing Christmas Carols but U92.7 the radio station was there to help promote it on the air.  The kids all sang beautifully and there were 6 different middle schools competing. 1st place went to Sacred Heart from Palm Desert,they received $1,000 2nd place went to Palm Desert Charter Middle School and they received $500   What an amazing way for Albertsons to support our kids.
