Induction Cooktops



I often encounter buyers who are disappointed at the number of homes in Palm Springs that don't have gas service to the kitchen.  Most people want gas cooktops.  For some, this is one item that they will not compromise on when buying a home.  

When we bought our Los Compadres home, we too were disappointed that the kitchen didn't have gas.  There is gas service to the house at the fireplace, furnace and the outdoor grill, but, as is fairly common, not to the kitchen.  We thought we'd extend gas to the kitchen at some point.  We were willing to deal with our electric cooktop for a while and bought the house!

Turns out we have an induction cooktop.  We love it!  It's very responsive and unlike gas or electric coil cooktops, does not heat the kitchen (house) up.  It's very efficient and a breeze to keep clean.  Click HERE to read all about induction cooktops and cooking.  Induction cooktops are not the same as electric coil cooktops, even the new smooth glass tops (that look like the induction cooktops pictured above). 

So, for buyers, I recommend that you be willing to compromise on your cooktop.  You might actually find the option of an induction cooktop quite appealing.  For sellers, if you're installing new appliances in order to sell, you might consider paying more for an induction cooktop.  Just make sure you communicate the benefits!

742 Sycamore, Los Angeles, CA

"Almost clients" of mine decided to buy in Wilton Manors, FL instead of Palm Springs.  They're selling their great house in LA.  Click HERE to see property details and pictures.  It's a really special home!

If you're interested, I can arrange a showing for you.  I do some work in LA and am a member of the LA MLS, so I have complete access.
