SOLD $378,000 3BR/2.5BA, 1469 sft., built in 1948.  Current Asking Price:  $395,000

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE:  Thumbs Down!!! The initial reaction to the house is favorable from the curb.  The pool is situated on the lot to maximize view and sun and is surrounded by lots of yard.  This modern structure could have potential, but the kitchen and baths have been ripped out. Most fixtures are missing as are all interior doors and pool equipment.  We see lots of work here.  For the right price this house might turn THUMPS UP. Listed 2/1/08.

2BR/1.5BA, 1630 sft., built in 19856.  Current Asking Price:  $419,900

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE:  Thumbs Down!!!  This house is in a nice, quiet neighborhood dead central in Palm Springs - on a quiet street.  The house itself has been modified…somehow…with “somebody’s” rather interesting ideas.  Let’s just say…it needs to be “re-modified” and it could very well cost a bit of money.  Without a pool/spa, without a garage,….this house “appears” to have an inappropriate price tag on it.  Don’t shoot me for my opinion - but I’m thinking the high $200K???  JUST my opinion.  But we’ll gladly show it to you and present a reasonable offer for you.

3BR/2BA, 2229 sft., built in 2004.  Pebble tech pool, Spa.  Current asking price:  $449,900

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE:  Thumbs Up!!!  Thinking that this one could use a price reduction in order to consider it a really good deal….but…this house is in near brand new condition.  Very nice landscaping in the backyard, beautiful pebble tech pool and spa in the walled in front yard,…this house is very attractive.  Let us show it to you.

3BR/2BA, 1276 sft., lot size approx. 1/4 acre, built in 1974. Current Asking Price: $369,900

MOORE-CARLSON GROUP OPINION OF VALUE: Thumbs up!!! Now we’re talking. Although facing a rather busy road, this house is located in VERY close proximity to the shopping mall, library, pool, Palm Springs High School, restaurants…who needs a car??? Centrally located, close to everything, pool, spa, huge backyard, house is clean (might need some updating and “warmth”), and a price you can’t beat…you can’t go wrong with that one.
