There’s been a lot said about the value of Palm Springs desert area real estate…and the droves of Canadian buyers who are currenly taking advantage of prices and the strength of their Loonie (Canadian dollar) vs. the US dollar. Other reasons Canadian Snowbirds are buying real estate in the desert area include:

Strong Canadian housing market

Valley home prices often offer extraordinary value

Insurance fees, other costs lower than East Coast

First-time buyers purchasing before Bank of Canada raises interest rates

Investment properties provide rental income

Potential increase in local vacation rental rates

A search by the Palm Springs Regional Association of Realtors staff showed 1,329 Canadian buyers and another 98 purchasers from other countries acquired homes or condos over the past year, based on a tally of those who registered international addresses.

San Diego-based DataQuick Information Systems noted cash purchases accounted for 30.5 percent of home sales in Southern California last month, up from a 10-month average of 13.3 percent. Absentee buyers — mostly of second-home purchasers and investors — bought 26percent of homes, DataQuick reported.
