Click here for the full Desert Luxury Housing Report for October 2024.

Nested in the heart of the Coachella Valley, Palm Springs continues to shine as the crown jewel of desert luxury. With homes priced at $2.8 million and above, the October 2024 real estate market is buzzing with activity. Whether you’re looking to invest, sell, or dream about your next desert oasis, this market update provides the insights you need to navigate the world of high-end real estate in Palm Springs and beyond.

The State of the Market: A Luxury Surge

The October 2024 Desert Luxury Report reveals an exciting surge in the Palm Springs real estate market. Active listings for $2.8M+ homes have increased by 36%, reaching 151 available properties. But what’s truly remarkable is the spike in new listings, which are up by an astounding 93%. With 77 fresh properties entering the market, buyers now have more options than ever to find their perfect slice of desert paradise.

Meanwhile, homes are moving fast. The average days on market (DOM) for these luxury properties dropped by 20% to just 85 days, while median DOM plummeted by 58% to a mere 30 days. For sellers, it’s clear: if you’ve been waiting for the right time to list, that time is now.

Price Trends: What $2.8M+ Gets You

Let’s talk numbers. The average price for luxury homes in Palm Springs has ticked up by 2% to $6.16 million. Median prices are also on the rise, currently sitting at $4.4 million. For buyers, this means that while prices are inching higher, they still reflect the strong value and prestige associated with the Palm Springs lifestyle.

But here’s the kicker: some of the most jaw-dropping properties in the Coachella Valley redefine opulence. In La Quinta, for example, an estate priced at a staggering $36 million has captured the spotlight. Meanwhile, Indian Wells boasts homes with unparalleled privacy and panoramic views, including listings just shy of $10 million.
