Palm Springs real estate represents some of the best over all retirement/vacation home prices in the otherwise pricey California real estate market.

• The value for the money remains very high when compared to other areas of the state.
• The proximity to the 22 million southern Californians makes it a perpetually popular weekend getaway.
• The warmth of our winters makes it the perfect place to escape the cold and snowy weather in the North.

While many of our visitors and second home owners come from the Pacific Northwest and Canada we are starting to see many more visitors from East of the Mississippi. The ease of arriving by air has greatly increased since the expansion of the convenient Palm Springs International airport. Once a sleepy little, winter vacation spot in the California desert the 7 cities that make up the Coachella valley have blossomed into vibrant year round communities. Palm Springs offers an enviable resort lifestyle that includes over 320 days of Sunshine per year.

The Future: looks quite bright for Palm Springs.  The 2012 Season is going strong with amazing entertainment, larger than ever crowds of visitors, more flights and lots of new or improved restaurants. From Zin Bistro, Cheekys, Sammy G's, Tinto to Rio Azul  and a revamped Kaiser Grill plus the recently redone Saguaro Hotel (formerly the Holiday Inn) .  The city has passed a new Tax measure to support a project to redevelop the old Palm Springs Fashion Plaza Mall and opening up a street leading to the front of the Palm Springs Art Museum.  This work is already underway as the old BOA building at Tahquitz has been demolished. The Marilyn Monroe statue has taken up residence in that space. The Morrison townhomes are finishing up a major construction phase and there is a newly opened Eisenhower medical facility at Sunrise and Tahquitz.
