3BR, 1.75BA home, 1972 sft.,  built in 1962.  Current asking price:  $394,000

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE: Thumbs up.  This is a really great 1950’s Palm Springs Modern.  The centrally located  house has been totally upgraded with very nice ceramic tile floors, newer kitchen, and bath.  A very cool fireplace accents the living room.  This Palm Springs house is light and bright with a family kitchen.  This bank owned property is in excellent condition.  This Palm Springs home has a pool/spa and a nice west view.  Asking $394,500.  Listed 3/7/08.

1BD, 1BA, 1211 sft.,  built in 1986.  Current asking price:  $201,500MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE: Thumbs up.  This is a good Palm Springs one bedroom and one bath condo at Camino dl Sol, located on Vista Chino.  The price may be a bit stiff, but we feel the could be a good buy if you can use a Palm Springs one bedroom. Asking $201,500.  Listed 3/12/08.

3BR, 2.25BA home, 2698 sft.,  built in 1949.  Current asking price:  $474,900 REDUCED to $467,900

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE:  Thumbs up.  This house has a nice corner lot with big views of the mountain.  The pool is in the front of the house which takes advantage of the views.  Located in the Ruth Hardy Park area of Palm Springs, this home has 3 bedrooms and 2.25 baths.  The problem with this home are the additions.  The living room of this bank owned property feels dark and the converted garage is unattractive living space.  A new garage has been added.  This house would function much better with two double car garages.  We love the lot although.  Asking $474,900. Listed 3/18/08.

4BR/2BA,  1717sft., built in 2001.  Current Asking Price:  NOW $264,900 was $274,900

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE: Thumbs up.  We think the major problem with this house is a pool contractor started to build a pool and spa, but violated city codes by placing the pool too close to the property line wall.  We bet the city of Palm Springs red lined this home and would not allow the pool to go further.  Oops!  According to the listing agent the hole will be filled before the close of escrow.  Other than that, the house needs paint and carpet and is on a busy corner.  The house was built in 2001 and would make a great Palm Springs starter home.  Watch this REO.  Listed 2/25/08
