Your #1 source for all things CONDO in sunny Palm Springs, California!

Welcome to the first blog for my Web site, PalmSpringsCondoLiving.Com!  As this blog title and the Web site name imply this site will be your #1 go-to source for anything you should want to know about living in a condominium in Palm Springs and the entire Coachella Valley.  That's a pretty broad topic that leaves me lots to talk about in my future weekly blogs.  For example, I'll certainly write about condo living vs. house living and the benefits that condo living provides. Or another week I may interview a local designer about how to design the perfect desert getaway in 1,000 square feet or less.  Another topic may have to do with having great relations with your home owners association (HOA) and condo neighbors.  Or perhaps a discussion with a local land title professional regarding the myths and realities of fee vs. lease land.  There are a world of things to talk about and I'm excited to get started!

First and foremost, though, this is a real estate site.  I am a real estate broker/agent based in Palm Springs so I have the experience and know how regarding real estate transactions to discuss the topic in depth.  In particular, I've completed a large number of condo sales so I have extensive experience in the intricacies of buying and/or selling a condo.  Once a month the weekly blog will focus on the completed condominium real estate sales we experienced in the preceding month.  In this blog I'll report sales figures for the 3 regions we in Palm Springs use to divide our market - South Palm Springs, Central Palm Springs, and North Palm Springs.  I'll analyze the number of units sold, average or median price per unit or per square foot, how many studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, or three-bedrooms have been sold, etc.  I'm most interested in the statistics that go into our real estate market and in using these figures to help buyers and sellers of real estate achieve their goals.  A less dry, but no less important feature will be discussions of various condo communities and their amenities as reported and rated by the residents.

While I am the person writing these blogs and coordinating the Web site this site is really about you.  If there's something you enjoy reading about or would enjoying learning that relates to condo living in Palm Springs please let me know.  I want this to be a site you come to often whenever you have a moment to read about what's happening in our beautiful desert community.  Please feel free to express your interests or concerns to me and I'll do my best to incorporate them into the Web site.  Thank you in advance for your support.

Here's to living the good life in fabulous Palm Springs with PalmSpringsCondoLiving.Com!
