Here is the meat of the offer. At some point,especially if mortgage money does get to that oft mentioned 4.5% level I do think it's going to get many 'fence sitters' to buy. I noticed in this offer you only need a 3.5% down payment... They do apparently include Southern CA in the offer.

Regards,
John

In Palm Springs - sounds like you want to be where the shadow of the mountain keeps you cooler in late afternoons.

If you can walk or bike to downtown, that would be very nice.

You might also want to consider Scottsdale, Arizona. Slightly lower income and sales taxes, and even more golf courses.
