This is at the kind of news Realtors and home buyers want to read:
“The coming year is expected to be a little kinder to home buyers. While affordability will continue to be a problem in hot markets like New York and San Francisco, buyers in general may find they have more homes to choose from and more lenders vying for their business.”

With this prediction also comes the higher interest rate prediction which is expected to reach 5% this year. This is still an all time low for the market and quite a deal over 30 years when buying your Palm Springs home!

By Dominique Fong for MyDesert.com

The median sale price of homes and condos across Southern California plateaued for the sixth month in a row, a new housing report shows. At the same time, sales continued to fall, dampened by rising prices and a short supply of homes.

In Riverside County, 2,934 homes sold at a median price of  $275,000 in November, according to DataQuick.

The year-over-year jump in home prices could motivate homeowners to put their houses on the market, creating a surge in the inventory, John Walsh, DataQuick president, said in a news release.   Read the whole story here.

The Sunrise Villas condominium community is located South of Palm Springs. There are only a handful of single story condos in Palm Springs with garages and Sunrise Villas is one of these rare developments. The community includes 7 pools and spas, as well as 3 tennis courts.
