This bargain-priced home in Sun City Shadow Hills is a short sale but one which merits a serious look because of its dead-on pricing and value. The popular Dorado model, this 2446 sf floorplan offers 2 bedrooms and 2.5 baths with den and dining room.
The spacious 3-car garage affords ample room for a work-room or golf-car storage. Situated on a south-facing lot, the home features a beautiful pool and spa in a covered backyard ready for morning coffee and evening entertaining.
The spacious granite-slabbed kitchen is feature-rich for the serious cook.
This home is priced at $365K (only $249/sf) and needs lender approval after seller acceptance. The escrow process takes longer than a normal transaction but, in this case, would be worth the effort.

Sun City Shadow Hills is the second Del Webb-branded active retirement community to grace the Coachella Valley. Located just east of its sister, Sun City Palm Desert, Shadow Hills debuted in 2004 and is now selling its third and final phase of homes.
Covering 771 acres, the 55-and-older club is located off Jefferson Blvd. in the Shadow Hills area of Indio between Interstate 10 and the foothills of the Little San Bernadino Mountains. There are 21 floorplans ranging in size from 1,500 sf up to 3.000 sf, the homes offer detached casitas, granite kitchens, open floorplans, and energy-efficient features.
It is being built by Pulte Home Corporation, the nation's largest homebuilder.
Upon completion, Shadow Hills will have approximately 3400 homes making it a smaller version of its 5000-home predecessor to the west.
The 35,000 square foot Montecito Clubhouse is the community’s primary recreation center and offers state-of-the-art fitness, aerobics/dance studio, indoor walking track and pool, outdoor pool, ballroom, billiards, computer lab and library. 
The Mountain Vista 18-hole championship course was designed by Lee Schmidt and Brian Curley and offers six sets of tees. The golf clubhouse houses a pro shop, full-service restaurant and snack bar, driving range and practice green. An 18-hole executive course is slated for future development.

I recently sold another home at Sun City Shadow Hills in Indio. Fantastic deal. My clients bought a standing inventory home. Pulte, the builder, is offering incentives to buyers. They are serious about moving these homes. I was told that Sun City Shadow Hills is the most successful new home development in California. Don't know if it is true, but it would not surprise me.
Sun City is located north of the 10, between Jefferson and Monroe. It is a 55+ golf course community with two clubhouses (one is soon to be under construction, the other is up and running) and a golf course clubhouse. Their web site says that homes start at $228,000 for a two bedroom home with over 1200 sq. ft. When I did a web search, I found one for $191,000. No doubt, one of their standing inventory homes.
I just sold a condo in Quail Lakes Racquet Club, also in Indio. Check out my web site. Once the renovations on the condo are complete, this will be available as a vacation rental. Great tennis community with a meandering lake that the patios back up to. I was in Indio today to pick up a lock box. Had lunch the other day at the new Jackalope Ranch. So with all this Indio activity, I decided to divide up my blog about this desert city. This one will be about Sun City Shadow Hills. My other blog, http://www.callalvin.blogspot.com, will be about the festivals (It is the city of festivals), the amenities, and other great real estate deals.
Sun City Shadow Hills Indio
Sun City Shadow Hills has 12 model homes. They range in size from 1,257 to 2,971 sq. ft. two and three bedroom homes. There are homes on and off the golf course. The golf course is open to the public, so you don't pay for it. You do get discounts as a resident. I have played there. Loved it. It is an 18 hole par 71 course. The newest section of the development will feature a second course. I have seen the signature hole, magnificent. Fees on the 18 hole course range from $114 in season, down to $39 when it is hot. Residents pay $59 down to $29. There are more deals available to residents.
The 35,000 sq. ft. Montecito Club House contains a premier fitness facility, indoor and outdoor pools, a restaurant, community rooms and loads of classes and clubs. The classes include Challenge Step, Total Body on Ball, Sun Style 73, Aqua (Arthritis), Balance the Brain, Aqua, Fitness, Core Conditioning, Cardio, Beginners T'ai Chi, Interval Step and Weight Watchers.

In addition to all this, there are organized day trips to locations in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego. Lots to do.
Right now there are quick move in homes. My clients were able to close on their home within a couple weeks. The standing inventory includes several Granadas (1,099 sq. ft.), several Canteras (1,257 sq. ft), a couple Cordobas (1,294 sq. ft.), three Valencias (1,652 sq. ft.), five Avalinos (1,763 sq. ft.), five Maderas (1, 854 sq. ft.), two Del Oros (1,880 sq. ft.), three Santiagos (2,076 sq. ft.), a Sorrano (2,115 sq. ft.), four Castellanos (2,230 sq. ft.), three Meridas (2,370 sq. ft.), a Dorado (2,446 sq. ft.) and three La Paz (2,971 sq. ft.). Prices start under $200,000. The largest plan on the golf course is listed on Del Webs web site at $584,400. Availability and pricing are subject to change and prior sale.
There are some great resale deals in Sun City Shadow Hills. The lowest price is a San Ysidro (1,463 sq. ft.) asking $175,000. This is a short sale. All in all, there are 97 resales on the market. Thirty-Seven of the listings are under $300,000. Some of the benefits to resales include, window treatments, completed back yards and some have pools and/or spas. I looked at resales listed around what my client's paid for their new home. They could have bought a San Benito (2,147 sq. ft.) with a pool and spa or a Madera (1854 sq. ft.) with a firepit on the golf course. Instead they purchased a Dorado (2,446 sq. ft.) at a substantial discount from the listed price.
It is the perfect time to buy a home in Sun City Shadow Hills. The interest rates are low. The builder's incentives are very attractive. There are great deals on resales. Give me a call for more information.

Many people now look forward to purchasing a perfect retirement home when they reach retirement age. Downsizing is a popular trend for people who don't want to continue to be deal with the expense or responsibility of maintaining and keeping up with a a large household during their retirement years.
There are many factors to consider when selecting a retirement home. Choosing among the many different retirement living options is an important decision. Most people don't want to have to move several times during their retirement years, so it's worth taking the time to research retirement living alternatives before choosing your retirement home.
Patio Home Living
Patio homes are a popular choice for retirees who don't want to maintain large house but who do want to continue living in a single family dwelling. These houses are relatively small, yet are designed to make maximum use of available square footage. Patio homes also have small yards, which means very little maintenance is required to keep the lawn in tip top condition.
Condominium Living
Purchasing a condominium can be an excellent alternative for retirees who want to completely eliminate yard work and many additional household maintenance responsibilities. One of the main benefits of condominium living is the fact that maintenance of yard and common areas is included in the maintenance fee. When you move into a condo, you'll never have to do yard work again.
Retirement Community Living
Retirees often decide to move directly from their single family homes to a retirement community. There are many advantages of retirement community living, such as the opportunity to live in a planned community designed specifically to appeal to and meet the needs of retirees.
Most retirement communities offer a wide variety of living arrangements, meal service, maid service, planned activities, transportation, and many other benefits. Some retirement communities provide residents with a lifestyle comparable to that of living in a five star resort on a full time basis.
Full Time RV Living
Some retirees decide to transition to a full time RV lifestyle, selling their homes and investing the proceeds in luxurious motor coaches that allow them to live comfortably on the road or in campsites and RV resorts anywhere they choose. Some retirees keep a home base, such as a patio home or a condominium, and alternate between spending time there and on the road.
Which Retirement Home is Right for You?
These alternatives are a few of the many retirement home options available to individuals seeking to make a change in their living arrangements during their retirement years. When it's time for you to think about the type of retirement home that will work best for you, spend time thinking about how you want to spend your time and where you will enjoy living before you make a decision. Sun City Shadow Hills in Indio is a great spot to start looking, call me to shedule a showing at Del Webs Sun City Shadow Hills call us at 760 668-2399.
