Autumn in the desert


Happy Thanksgiving!

This photo was taken last year just after Thanksgiving.  It's of a "bonsai" Ginko (with bougainvillea) that I bought for my partner when we moved here from Alameda (in the Bay Area) five years ago.  The street we lived on in Alameda was lined with beautiful, mature Ginkos.  It's what we anticipated missing most when we moved to the desert. So, when I saw this bonsai at (the old) Palapas Nursery the first month we lived here, I had to have it.  I'm pleased that we've kept him happy all these years.  It's kept in a shady location on the north side of the house.  He's on his third pot!

Cheers!

Port Lawrence





Mayor Pougnet has announced that Port Lawrence, the big mixed use development at Palm Canyon/Indian Canyon @ Alejo, will not go forward due to financing issues.  This is a huge disappointment for our downtown and Palm Springs as a whole.  It's especially disturbing given that the Palm Springs City Council approved demolishing all the buildings that were there before.  The buildings housed viable businesses that are no longer there.  What a shame!  We all know that the credit crisis has taken out a lot of big players, but the city should not have allowed demolishing of the existing buildings until the developer's credit was secure  Pictures are here to remind you what we have lost.  Now the mayor suggests that the developer put in a parking lot!!  See the Desert Sun article (opinion) here

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.

AB 811 is California law



Assembly Bill 811 is now California law. The Desert Sun ran an article today. Read the article HERE.


AB 811 allows municipalities to provide low-cost loans to homeowners for the express purpose of installing solar panels and/or purchasing/installing an energy efficient A/C, windows, etc. The loan gets placed on the property's tax roll as an assessment. The loan is paid off over a 20 to 30 year period and can be paid off early if desired. If a homeowner decides to sell their home during the repayment period, the assessment can be paid off at transfer, or the new owner can assume the assessment.


I think this is a great law that, hopefully, will result in more solar panels on top of desert homes. I believe, too, that those homes with solar panels will be attractive to future buyers and will likely bring higher sales prices. I look forward to negotiating the sale of a home that has a "solar assessment" attached to it!

What do you think about this new law? Do you plan to take advantage of the opportunity when Palm Springs institutes its program? If you're a resident of Palm Desert, you will have the option soon!

Port Lawrence in Palm Springs




Today's Desert Sun (see the article HERE) has a story about the status of Port Lawrence. As you may know, Port Lawrence is a mixed use developent planned for downtown Palm Springs at the corner of Alejo, between Palm Canyon and Indian Canyon. You also may know that this huge empty parcel of land has been fenced-off since the City allowed demolition in June 2006 of the (previous) structures, some of which had successful retail stores operating from them. I wholeheartedly support the new development and hope that it is completed, but I did not support the city's approval to demolish the previous buildings before they had a better idea about how long it was going to take the developer to move forward (see photos above). I imagine the city would tell you today, two years later, that they had no idea it would take this long. I think it's a must, going forward, that the city place time restrictions for completion for developers' projects. In this case it's tragic that the city allowed demolition of almost an entire block back in 2006. Today's paper tells us we can't expect to see a finished product until 2010 or 2011. At this point, with construction crews no where in sight, we can't even be certain that we won't have a huge parcel of vacant land in our downtown for many years to come. Let's hope that we see some positive activity there soon!


Let me know your thoughts on how the city council handled this project.
