It's Time To Play - SUPER Fun Outdoor Spaces

By
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

It’s Time To Re-Kindle The Romance With Your Home - Falling In Love With Your Home All Over Again

By
Jenell Fontes Using the tips from these professional stagers, in a short time you can re-style and bring your home up to model home standards and walking into your “NEW” home you just might fall in love with it all over again.   Step number one to falling in love with your home again is to take a walk through your home as if you had never been there before.   Make a list of all the little annoying things that need to be fixed - the broken drawer, the squeaky door, and the annoying way the closet never quite shuts right. Next, add to your visual list the places in your home that pile up with junk, paperwork or clothes. Lastly, make a mental note about what you love and think of ways to accent those features.    One of the quickest ways to make a difference in your home is to get rid of the clutter. Go through every room with a box and put 10 things in it that you don’t love or need in that room. Box them up, date the box, and put them in th...

Low Inventory, Rising Tides

By
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-sl...

Want to go Surfing in the Desert?

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...
