palm springs: Things are picking up in Phoenix! From bust to boom?
- 05/18/09 05:15 AM
Just saw this article in the LA Times regarding the recent boom in sales in the Phoenix area. Click here for more info. This is not too different that what we're experiencing in Palm Springs. With prices at an all time low, well priced listings are selling often over asking, and often with multiple offers. I have had two clients lose out on deals this past week alone, for bidding below asking on properties that were just listed- (against my advice.) Both properties were sold with multiple offers over asking. I think there are definite signs that things are picking up!

palm springs: Palm Springs famous Riviera Resort is starting to shape up
- 03/15/08 04:23 PM
The famous Palm Springs Riviera Resort has been undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation over the last few months. Its due to reopen in the fall of 2008. I drive by it everyday on my way to the office. This past week, I noticed they're attacking the tacky facade that was put up in the 80s, and bringing it back to its original mid-century design. Its exciting to see this great resort re-emerge! Check out the website: http://www.psriviera.com/riviera_home.aspx The new resort and spa will be a welcome and exciting addition to Palm Springs.

Wow, wanted to spread the word on my latest visit to The Purple Palm restaurant at the newly opened, Colony Palms Hotel, in central Palm Springs. http://www.colonypalmshotel.com/home.php What a great property that evokes the spirit of the old Palm Springs era. Dine pool side in a lushly landscaped courtyard in the middle of the property. Enjoy amazing mountain views as you dine to classic Rat Pack style music. Great staff, good food, and really a relaxing enjoyable experience. I've taken a couple of clients there recently, and have really been impressed. Hope you can stop by sometime and enjoy it for yourself.
