A question being asked on a daily basis,  and answered speculatively depending on which part of the country you live in.  Some foresee more doom and gloom, others see  opportunity and stability edging up. I can only talk about Palm Springs real estate , the Desert Cities , my personal experience  as a real estate agent in this part of the country, and hard data supplied by our Desert Area MLS. The chart below, shows the Median Prices by California regions , and current Month vs. Year ago . The numbers are encouraging and they represent hard numbers based on the Desert MLS real estate activities for that period.  As for July , that's where my personal opinion based on my activities as realtor comes in. I personally  had a busy July and busier August so far . And with our desert season approaching ,  the Canadian and Northwest Snowbirds will start flocking and that should boost  more home sales and the prices. So is it time to buy ?...

Palm Springs and Desert Cities Home Prices Up by almost 27 % ....

According to the California Desert Association of Realtors, Palm Springs area median sold home price for February 2011 was $215,000 up from $185,000 in January 2011 and $156,060 in April 2009, that's almost 27% . Another interesting statistic is that the Median Sold Price in January 2011 was $185,000 for houses and condos, a very rare occurrence. From my experience as a real estate agent in the Palm Springs area, I would attribute a good part of the increase in sales and demand to our Canadian neighbors who love the desert , and saw the value in our real estate prices. The fact that the Canadian Dollar is hovering at par or better with the US Dollar was and still is a major contributor in the decision to buy a vacation home in the Coachella Valley. I believe that March and April 2011 will produce good numbers too based on my personal experience and lined up appointments. The easiest way to finding homes in Palm Springs , La Quinta , Palm Desert , and all Desert Citie...
