Today, thanks to the longest running bull market on record and strong employment, many Baby Boomers and Gen-X’ers are staking a claim in the California desert.
With renewed finances and optimism, home buyers appear to be capitalizing on the opportunity to buy their dream vacation and retirement homes, and for many, the city of La Quinta is at the top of the list.
During the past six months, on average Coachella Valley home purchases have increased and prices along with them. The city of La Quinta is among those in the Valley seeing high single and double digit monthly year-over-year increases.
Perhaps another key factor for the increased attraction is the good work being done by the City of La Quinta and joint Coachella Valley Economic Development programs, to build awareness, promote and expand the area’s economy.
Tourism and Hospitality is the area's primary industry and the cities of La Quinta, Indio and Indian Wells are at the epicenter for the area's largest and most lucrative events. Annually, these events lure top talent, celebrities, athletes, and millions of spectators, participants and media, from every corner of the world.

A few like the La Quinta Arts Festival, CoachellaFest and StageCoach Festivals, PGA CareerBuilder Challenge, and BNP Paribas Tennis top most everyone’s list, although thousands come for the famed international Equestrian Hunter/Jumper and Polo Competitions.

The economic and financial benefits from these world class spectacles, is used by the city to make it a truly special place for residents and visitors.
The city of La Quinta is well-managed by Linda Evans, City Mayor and maintained by employees that are bright, innovative and passionate about serving. The City’s public infrastructure is robust, and law enforcement keeps the City and neighborhoods feeling safe and secure.
Old Town La Quinta is a favorite place to gather, shop, eat and entertain, and the city’s Civic Center, with its Library and Wellness Center is an oasis of beauty, education and well-being. These family friendly gathering spots often have attractions such as a Sunday Farmers Market, arts, concerts and holiday events.
La Quinta’s rich heritage, quality shops, restaurants, and nightlife, gorgeous environment, and resort communities of every kind, make it an ideal home for people of all ages and stages of life.
During the past 6 months La Quinta and bordering cities, Indio and Indian Wells, have mostly shown steady monthly increases in the percentage of Number of Homes Sold and Average Home Sold Prices.
It’s easy to speculate that Trilogy at La Quinta, recognized as one of the area’s best valued golf resort communities in the area, will continue to attract many of these warm weather sun-seekers.
And, while many of La Quinta’s homes command 1+ million dollar price tags, there are a few communities of exceptional value and prices, like the 55+ Trilogy at La Quinta, a golf and tennis resort community of 1,238 homes.
Prices there range from $300,000 to luxury homes topping at about $780,000 for a 2,700+ sq. ft. home, with pool, spa and majestic mountain views.
