Whenever I show prospective buyers properties in the Palm Springs Valley of California, the weather is a huge topic. Palm Springs is one of our Valley cities and yes...it is a desert out here! The hottest months and often also the most humid are August and September. Those of us in the know generally schedule our summer breaks during these months. Day temperatures average somewhere around 100 and can climb to 120 easily. Sound awful?? Well, I have never heard of ANYWHERE that doesn't have some kind of weather "issue."
It's pretty easy to adjust to the heat. First off..many Buyers will only be here during our stellar and unmatched glorious winter season, so no need to worry about too much sun. Winter offers daylight temps of 75-85 degrees and evenings cool to a very doable 40-50 degrees. Those of us that live here in the summers, live a different summer life.
Outdoor activities are scheduled as much as possible, (including showing properties), for "before 11, or after 4 pm". I always have bottles of water in my own car and encourage buyers to wear hats, bring water and cover up with sunscreen. Amazing how many choose not to! Even on the hottest days, however, it is always an amazing gift to be able to jump in the pool at 8 or 9 pm, float in the 85 degree water and look up at palm trees and stars..sweet! Summer is HOT, but it also has it's own desert beauty that a surprising number of my buyers end up experiencing and then enjoying.
