Rain and thunderstorms covered part of the Coachella Valley last week and will continue this week.
The highly needed rain for the season is a big welcome for our parks and wildlife here in the desert. They are expecting on and off rain through out Saturday.
On a different note January home sales are up 16.5% in the Palm Springs Area compared to 2008.
Year to Date: median home prices fell 53.5% & sales rose by 70.1 % from a year ago. The inventory continues to drop with the increasing sales indicating that the market here in the desert continues to absorb the homes for sale that home sellers and banks must sell. Lower home prices means increased affordability for First Time Home buyer ,Investors and Snowbirds.

Palm Springs Area Mortgage Market update!
The Federal Reserve acknowledged on Wednesday that the economy has continued to deteriorate,
that it will keep using unconventional tools to cushion the fallout, including keeping a key
interest rate at a record low for quite "some time."
Specifically, the Fed said it is "prepared" to buy longer-term Treasury securities if the
circumstances warrant such action. At its December meeting, the Fed said it was merely evaluating
that option. Such an action could bring down mortgage rates even further and provide help to the
housing market here in the California Desert.
Did you know! That the current Mortgage rates are on a 50 Year Low?
