Palm Springs: Love of the Desert (<a href="http://www.bit.ly/apOwQN">http://www.bit.ly/apOwQN</a>) is accompanied by Facebook Groups for its sister cities, searchable slightly differently as "Love of the Desert: (City Name) for Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, La Quinta and Indio. <br />
As you know, we are in the process of inviting local residents to be video interviewed (3 minute segments) and featured on our "Love of the Desert TV" channel, distributed to many Internet video outlets, including You Tube, Vimeo, Viddler and Daily Motion, among others. Please contact us at <a href="mailto:love@palmspringsgreathomes.com">love@palmspringsgreathomes.com</a> if you are a local entrepreneur, business owner, professional or just plain interesting. <br />
You've also heard us talking a lot lately about our inclusion of <a href="http://www.foursquare.com/">http://www.foursquare.com/</a> in our Facebook City Groups. Have a look at this article by Clement Yeung published by Social Media Examiner on March 16, 2010. Geo-tagging is a very effective way to drive traffic to business. Foursquare has combined geo-tagging in a very compelling game application that provides rewards from businesses to the business clientele. And friends can check in from locations and report on the peeps, menu, action, etc. The customer also enjoys making her discovery of the business public and becoming the "Mayor" or other leading friend, which in turn can be parlayed to more recognition. <br />

California's 27,858 sales of new and resale homes and condominiums were down 5.4 percent compared to January 2009.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>The valley's median home sales price was $215,000 for all homes and condominiums combined in January. That reflected a 19.4 percent gain compared to the 180,000 in January 2009.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>One home in Palm Desert sold for $7.5 million.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>In the Coachella Valley, MDA DataQuick reported 748 total sales.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>Condominiums led the way, posting 152 percent sales gains in January over the same month last year with 197 sales at the median price of $236,000.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>Resale home activity was up nearly 4 percent with 513 sales at a median price of $198,000, according to DataQuick, the nationwide real estate monitoring firm.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>New home sales fell 5 percent, with just 38 sales closing escrow that month. The new home sales median was reported to be $259,750, nearly 14 percent less than the median in January 2009.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>Greg Berkemer, executive vice president of California Desert Association of Realtors, said sales data collected from Multiple Listing Service sales shows that existing home and condo sales rose by 51 percent from a year ago.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>But because the inventory has remained flat for the past three months hovering at 8,100 properties it appears that even with increased sales, a replacement supply of new listings are coming onto the market. The steady supply continues to put downward pressure on pricing, he said.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>It suggests that distressed properties and low-cost inland homes, such as those in the Coachella Valley, are grabbing the attention of buyers.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>DataQuick reported that 44 percent of the existing homes sold in January in Southern California had been foreclosed on during the past year.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>That was up from 40.8 percent in December, but down from 58.2 percent in January a year ago.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>Foreclosure resales peaked at 58.8 percent last February.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>The January stats underscore just how atypical this market remains. A huge chunk of what's selling is still distressed,'' MDA DataQuick president John Walsh said in a statement.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>Investors and first-time buyers continue to dominate many areas, while the move-up market has yet to kick in.<span></span></p> <p><span></span>For Riverside County, MDA DataQuick reported a 4.8 percent drop in year-over- year sales, from 3,320 in January 2009 down to 3,162.
