Design Update: Desert Modern

What is Desert Modern? I believe that Desert Modern design is a nod to mid-century modern with clean lines, simplicity and bringing the outdoors in with textures, stone, wood, fibers and plants.  It lends itself to the 50’s and 60’s retro look but with the earthy vibe and colors of the 70’s.  Lots of natural elements take stage here.

I believe this is in part due to Appraisers being conservative in their valuations.  A healthy market is six months of inventory (days on market before an offer is accepted) as of today, we are around 3 weeks.  The current lack of inventory makes it difficult for both realtors and home buyers. Every time you go try to show a listing

Does Your Home Have Curb Appeal?

The curb appeal of your home is a critical factor in attracting prospective buyers.  Buyers usually form an opinion within the first few seconds of pulling up to the home or online from the photos. Here are some tips to help you get started: Take a step back and look at your home through the eyes of the Buyer.
