As you might know, the Palm Springs International Film Festival just wrapped here-- thank God, it was before we got these torrential rains we are now having! The film festival has gained even more this year in media exposure, celebrity attendance and crowds of enthusiastic film-goers, willing to wait in long lines and pay $10 per ticket! I saw two excellent films myself: "White Wedding"(from South Africa), a romantic comedy, and "Glorious 39" (from the UK), a political suspense thriller.

Here is a photo of my husband and I on the red carpet at a party organized by party meister BB Ingle at the Hotel Zoso during the film festival week. I'm wearing one of my favorite party outfits-- a silk caftan I bought on a trip to Dubai in 2008.

Jason Reitman, one of the honorees at the film festival, and the director of the new hit film "Up in the Air" starring George Clooney, proclaimed that, I quote, "There's a quiet in Palm Springs that I really enjoy and when I'm out there I find myself able to focus on writing better than I have anywhere else in the world."

I have to agree, as much as it's fun to visit LA and NYC, living in the desert is the best. The prices for homes out here sure beats coastal and city prices as well! To check it out, please visit my website: www.WendysDesertRealEstate.com.

Great deals for brand new luxury homes of Madison Estates once valued at over $1.2 million dollars, now owned by the bank who will be entertaining offers at 50% or 60% of previous values. I checked them out myself yesterday here in the desert, which is sunny and just perfect weather now. I can represent any buyers who are interested. As a seasoned realtor, I know how to write up an offer that will benefit you the most, yet get you the deal that you want. Some of these houses are offered furnished, which are very sumptuous. The views are very good-- long views of the mountains, framed by palm trees. The materials used throughout are of very high quality. All the latest in upgrades such as granite counters of course, as well as beautiful outdoor fireplaces, and huge luxurious bathrooms and walk-in closets. It's in an area that is called Vista Santa Rosa, within the sphere of influence of La Quinta, but with an Indio zipcode. Many multi-million dollar estates are nearby and two polo fields are down the street. Here are some photos I took of three of the models which were open today. Please call me for details at 760-587-6009.
