When Your Backyard is a Championship Golf Course

Over the past year or so, the real estate market in Palm Springs and the surrounding communities has surged to new heights as travelers look to purchase a second home and investors look to add to their portfolios. With 350 days of sunshine and an average temperature of 70 degrees, regardless of who you are or what kind of home you are looking for, Palm Springs has become a premiere destination to begin your search. And 345 Desert Falls Drive , situated on the 13th hole of the famous Desert Falls Country Club golf course, may just be the perfect turnkey opportunity for travelers looking to spend some quality time in the desert sun for part of the year and enjoy an income producing property for the remainder. “Living in Desert Falls Country Club is like being on vacation everyday.” Whether you are looking to move to Palm Desert permanently, looking for a vacation home on a championship golf course, or even just wanting an investment property, this Palm Desert home ticks the box for it all. Open Air Homes CEO  Brad Greiner, who is selling the property through their real estate-focused sister company OA Real Estate Group at Douglas Elliman, recognized the potential of the desert market a few years ago and has recently expanded operations to include a number of Palm Desert properties. However, this particular Palm Desert house will forever hold a special place at the company, he said. In addition to short term rentals, Open Air Homes both sells properties through OA Real Estate Group and will manage the property as well, if that is what the homeowner prefers. Brad Griener “We feel so fortunate that [homeowner] Tanya Pohlson took a chance on us, allowing Open Air Homes to prove ourselves and our capabilities within a new real estate landscape,” Brad said. “We have successfully managed her property, providing a stress free monetization opportunity for her while simultaneously getting to establish our own roots in the area.” For Tanya, leaving her Palm Desert home will be bittersweet. “Living in Desert Falls Country Club is like being on vacation everyday,” she said. “From the beautiful evening sunsets to the snow capped mountains in the winter, my friends and I are constantly blown away from the beauty of the desert. Not to mention, there’s so many activities to do, from fun in the pools, to playing golf in my very own backyard to enjoying lunch at the Country Club seconds away.” It was the success of her home as a rental property (it rented for $7,250month while under Open Air Homes management) that motivated Tanya to ultimately partner with OA Real Estate Group. “That allowed us yet another chance to prove ourselves in the Desert market by offering a full service, first class experience from rentals to the sale of her home,” Brad said. The Desert Falls Country Club is one of the few remaining HOAs in the desert that is short term rental friendly, allowing you to monetize your vacation home through rentals when you are away, while blocking off time to enjoy the majesty of the desert when you’re in town, in your own home.
