Are you a buyer, seller, or investor? Which ever category you fall into, chances are you've been frustrated at one time or another with this market. Today's home prices are lower now than they ever have been. The Desert Sun compares prices to those of 2003 but I believe home prices are closer to 2001. How often do you have the opportunity to step back into time?   Believe it or not, some buyers are very frustrated with today's market. Because home prices have fallen so low, when a home is priced right for the market, the house is selling at listed price or higher, with buyers getting into bidding wars. If your a buyer looking to get a bargain from the bank, be prepared to negotiate on their terms and buy the property as is, with no warranty.  Besides all this, it is actually a very good...

Are you wondering if purchasing a new tract built house can justify a little extra expense? While older houses may have charm, they lack many of the attributes that make new homes a superior buy. First, you must consider the customization of your house. With a newer tract home, you need not worry about asbestos, lead paint, or other toxic building substances, which may compromise your health. As well, a newer residence will be current with all modern safety and fire codes, offering you superior protection from unforeseen events. Second, a brand new house usually incorporates energy saving technology. In a era where energy costs are on the rise, being able to select energy-efficient appliances and modern heating and cooling systems can save you thousands of dollars over the lifetime of y...

La Quinta, California is a city to look out for in the years ahead!  These days, it is growing rapidly as the population expands each year by leaps and bounds.  It's not surprising that the area is enjoying so much growth as the desert city continues to attract more residents from some of the overcrowded surrounding communities.  Plus, this city has a lot to offer anyone looking to make their home in the California desert.  Riverside County is a big place, and La Quinta occupies just one small corner of it nestled in the Coachella Valley.  If you are not familiar with this part of Southern California, you are really missing out!  Often dismissed for its arid desert summers, La Quinta is actually much more exciting than most people think.  With a vibrant community of warm and inviting re...
