As we enter the Spring of 2023, the Palm Springs real estate market is showing no signs of slowing down. Despite concerns over rising interest rates and supply chain disruptions, the market in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley continues to remain strong.
One of the main drivers of the Palm Springs real estate market is the area's popularity among retirees and second-home buyers. With its warm climate, stunning scenery, and excellent amenities, Palm Springs has long been a sought-after destination for those looking to escape the cold and enjoy a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle. This demand has only increased over the past few years, as more and more people have sought out second homes and retirement properties in desirable locations.
As a result, home prices in Palm Springs and the surrounding areas have continued to rise. According to the latest data from Zillow, the median home value in Palm Springs is now $765,000, up 12% from this time last year. The median listing price per square foot is $425, which is a 17.8% increase from last year.
While rising prices may be cause for concern for some, the good news is that there is still plenty of demand in the Palm Springs market. In fact, homes are selling faster than ever before, with the median days on market dropping to just 34 days. This is down from 48 days at the same time last year and 62 days in 2019.
Another factor driving the Palm Springs real estate market is the continued growth of the Coachella Valley. Over the past few years, the region has seen a surge in new development, with many new communities, resorts, and commercial properties being built. This growth has brought with it new job opportunities and a growing economy, which in turn has attracted more people to the area.
Despite these positive trends, there are some potential challenges on the horizon for the Palm Springs real estate market. Rising interest rates could make it more difficult for some buyers to qualify for mortgages, which could slow down demand. Additionally, supply chain disruptions could lead to delays in construction, which could limit the supply of new homes coming onto the market.
However, for now, the Palm Springs real estate market remains strong and vibrant. If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in the area, now may be an excellent time to make a move.
