It's Time To Play - SUPER Fun Outdoor Spaces

Jenell Fontes
Great weather is right around the corner and it’s time to get outside and enjoy it. A fantastic way to do this is to turn your backyard into a SUPER fun outdoor space. Designing your back yard or outdoor spaces as an entertainment area will not only enhance your family's quality time together, it will also add value to your home. I'm pretty sure we all like that!

To create your fun outdoor space, identify how you want to use it. Treat your outdoors and backyard as an extended living space with a purpose. Imagine how you would like to spend more time outdoors. It might be playing, relaxing, entertaining or a combination of all three. Here are a few ideas that will get you started:


•     Set up seating areas with interesting art or water features to create a view. 
•     Add a hammock or lounger to small spaces.  
•     Add paving stones to define areas and pathways.  
•     Make sure that your outdoor area is clean and organized and purposeful.  
•     A fun add to a larger outdoor space are “jumbo” outdoor games.


Try one of these super fun games at your next family event or gathering

Millennials And The Coachella Valley Real Estate Market

Jenell Fontes The Millennials are coming into the Real Estate market and what does that mean for a market like the Coachella Valley? In the next few years at least $16 trillion of ultra-high net worth (UHNW) individual’s wealth will be passed on to the next generation over this period, spawning a new crop of multimillionaires, the Wealth-X and NFP according to the Family Wealth Transfers Report “As self-made UHNW baby boomers start passing on their wealth to their children, the importance of entrepreneurship and hard work will be put to the test,” the report said.  One of the largest beneficiaries of the wealth will be the the Millennials and they are not buying the larger country club properties that make up the bulk of the Valleys Luxury listing inventory. Millennials are looking at walkability scores, energy efficiency, Smart homes and provide a comfortably Chic lifestyle. Millennials want location, location, location, less maintenance and smaller homes with less outdoor

Low Inventory, Rising Tides

Now if you have been paying attention to the Coachella Valley something peculiar has been happening, it is explainable but it exemplifies a larger problem in our current real estate market. Today there are approximately 650 active properties on the market as of February 2022. Around this same time last year, there were over 2,000 active properties on the market. Now to make it clear the typical  inventory  of the Coachella Valley is usually somewhere between 4-5,000 units. Currently this is a clear identifier demand is extremely high, but how long can that last as supply remains so  low . As interest rates continue to rise there is going to be a decrease in buyer demand, and we can already see that as the average days on market increases. This past year we saw houses being sold within hours of being posted on the MLS, multiple bids above asking price, and the sheer force of movement that has filled up the valley with transplants and former city-slickers.  The lack of inventory can be a

Talus is a NEW residential Development that you might want to know more about because this project is changing the face of property development for the Coachella Valley! For those of you that have recently driven on Avenue 52 or Jefferson on their way to PGA, Tradition or Griffin Ranch, you may have noticed a new sign on the way that reads "Talus." You might be asking yourself what is Talus? Or maybe you already googled it, or heard some people at the office or the gym talking about it. But I want to discuss the implications of this enterprising project for the surrounding neighborhood, and I think we should go over it together. Talus is a brand new resort experience developing in our backyard! This project includes hotels, The Montage and Pendry, two notable luxury brands that will be hosting the resort-styled hotels, private branded residences, a new restaurant, spa facility, conference center, club house, and more! The first part of the project should be finished by mid 20
