Sold - 1657 S Riverside Dr, Palm Springs, CA




Palm Springs real estate. My listing at 1657 S Riverside Dr in Tahquitz River Estates sold on Friday, 9/19/08. Final sales price was $430,000. The original list price with me was $489,000.; with another agent, previous to my listing, at $499,900. During my listing we had several price reductions, with the last list price at $454,900.


From the time I was given the opportunity to sell the home in March ('08), we had lots of showings and interest. We had a few offers out the shoot that didn't go any where....


I think both seller and buyer are happy with the outcome. The seller received a reasonable price for the home and the buyer now has a great property in Palm Springs!


If you questions about this house, or if you're consider selling your home, I am most happy to talk with you directly. I always appreciate the opportunity!

Loan Rates are Dropping!

If you're on the fence about buying now, it may be a good time to jump off and get into a new home. Loan rates have dropped substantially since the US government rescued Fannie and Freddie. I've seen rates as low at 5.375% fixed for 30 yrs.!

It also may be a great time to refinance if you have a rate 6% range.

Please contact me via the post or by phone if you want more information.
