PGA West in La Quinta This past weekend I went to visit my Mom who lives in La Quinta in the desert.  It is about 140 miles from Newport Beach. It was such a beautiful couple of days, and not only did we enjoy the Superbowl, we definitely enjoyed the climate. It was about 80 degrees during the day with much cooler weather in the mornings and evenings. It is so lovely there with the incredible mountains and the beautiful crystal blue sky. We went to visit some friends at PGA West who have a home there and had a wonderful lunch. Then we had a tour of the entire area, which is stunning (I can honestly see the appeal). PGA West has 6 golf courses, and there is so much to offer the home owners. One of the courses is called the Arnold Palmer Private Course, and we took the golf cart over ther...

Farmers Market in La Quinta, CA If you are looking for locally grown, fresh, and organic foods, you must attend the certified Farmers Market. I started going to La Quinta's Farmers Market every Sunday morning to purchase all of my vegetables in addition to eggs, chicken, and steak here. The steaks from De-Le Ranch are truly amazing and worth every penny! Today I only buy fresh organic and nonGMO products whenever possible. At the La Quinta's Farmers Market you'll find certified organic produce, herbs, honey, nuts, and cheese, along with fresh cut flowers & plants, fresh baked breads from L’Artisan Bakery, and live music.  I have found some truly amazing flavors and organic foods here. Visit the Certified Farmers’ Market in La Quinta along Main Street Sundays from 8 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., O...

Completely different couples, different requirements, different areas, but they BOTH wanted the net to work on their desert investments. One couple wanted a La Quinta Condo.  No muss, no fuss, no maintenance, high HOA made sense to them..make it TURNKEY!  Price point around $400,000.  Believe it or not, our Condo inventory, as with our Single family inventory is limited.  Meaning of course, the Condos, with good location, great amenities, and not worn out does limit it.  If you are stuck on golf courses, that's one option, and if you want a GREAT rental possibility, there are other things to consider. I found them a PERFECT little investment condo.  Comes with bookings in place, website up, net sheets for past 3 years..owner is simply moving up within the same development to a larger Co...

OK..here's the thing.  Realtors are sales people, we all "get" that sometimes it takes doing this or doing that to CLOSE the deal.  I am always willing to work with the other Agent to make a deal happen.  But..there IS  limit!! I have been working with a couple for several months now, here in the Palm Springs, CA., area.  They specifically wanted a 5 bedroom property to be used as a Vacation Rental.  Due to limitations on minimum days required by many of the HOA's around, I had to keep my head down to find the home.  I did.  I was there the first day it came active, even though the photos were dismal.  I took my buyers over the next day, and we wrote a good CASH offer that day. As we all know, when the Sellers get an offer quickly, they often think they priced it too low.  Two counters ...

It's been so cold here in the Palm Springs Valley, that we desert dwellers just don't know what to do with ourselves!  42 degrees during the day???  I make sure to look at International weather info. to remind myself how lucky I am!  It's warming again, and supposed to be back to a balmy 80 by Tuesday.   Went to a New Years' Eve party last night at The Hideaway Golf Club in La Quinta.  Gorgeous community, and it is sizzling right now!  Lots are selling.  New Homes are being built, sold,and more new homes built. Resales of both Villas and single family homes are smoking..and season is just beginning!  Stats for the past 6 months.... Lots and Land: 3 are currently in escrow and 9 have been SOLD.  Ranging in size from approx. 13,500 sf to approx. 25,000 sf, the prices will start at about $...

Market watch for the Palm Springs Valley, California   Our winter season, which is generally our busiest, because the Palm Springs Valley is essentially a tourist destination during the winter, has officially begun. Inventory is still low overall.  When a home comes available that has the things our seasonal buyers really crave, meaning sunlight, mountain views, fairway location, and a fair market value, it will sell!   Home prices have shown little fluctuation while actual sales numbers continue to drop. Each city in the Palm Springs Valley, still shows year-over-year price changes. The largest gains surprisingly were in our very easterly city, Coachella. In just one year the price per square foot has gone up approximately 40%! I think that's because it is still the least expensive cit...

The HABIT BURGER GRILL OPEN in La Quinta- Affordable and Good!   The Habit Burger Grill in La Quinta just opened and already it is attracting quite a following.   The Habit Burgers began in Santa Barbara and they have been creating habits since 1969. I understand why they call it "The Habit"... the burgers are habit-forming, and they won't break the bank... an affordable, delicious HABIT! We decided to beat the rush and go around 11:00am.  And I'm glad we did.  Before we were finshed with lunch, the line was out the door and growing.   We ordered 2 Chargilled burgers with cheese,  with fries and drinks-- and our check was under $16. Service was courteous and prompt... dining room was clean and bright.  Burgers had a nice char, grilled onions, and the shredded lettuce and pickles gave it...

     We are not accustomed to looking out the window and seeing pale brown grass on our golf course, but it happens every year in October.  Overseeding ensures that when our bermuda grass goes dormant, a bright green rye grass will be healthy and perfect for play.   To learn more: What is OVER SEEDING, and Why do they do that here in the desert?

It's hard for me to pin down the MOST favorite thing of mine about being a Realtor here in the La Quinta, Palm Springs area of the desert.  Real Estate is not a career choice for the feint of heart, nor for the non-disciplined, nor for a person that needs to have someone telling them what to do.  Quite the opposite..a Realtor is an independent contractor and MUST be self-motivated, and very disciplined.  I would have to narrow it down from the following list of .. "My Favorite Realtor things.." 1.  My clients!  I love being a sales person.  I know my Palm Springs Valley, and I LOVE living here, which I have done for 30 years! 2.  Working my own hours:  I am self-driven so if I want to work from home at 4 a.m., I do.  The myth is that working for yourself means less hours..exactly the o...
