March Madness in the Desert

March Madness is here in the desert !!  Indian Wells  is busy with the BNP Paribas Open tennis tournament bringing in fans from all over the world. I took a break from showing real estate, took in some great tennis and  had to pleasure to meet someone from Tokyo who was in the earthquake . He has attended the tennis  event for 5 years and did not miss this one even with all the problems at home.  That is a true fan!



Palm Desert Tennis Club came in third for the recycled tennis balls competition and several members who won the lottery for suite tickets had a fantastic time . Yes all the food and drinks on the house . Palm Desert Tennis Club is the best kept tennis club  secret in the desert and the word is getting out now . We are such an active club that offers all the tennis and social you need . .
 Palm Desert Tennis Club has  tennis history  historic   player's  like Rod Laver as past owners so if you are in town give me a call to take a tour or play tennis .



BNP Paribas Open is the first tournament in the world to implement the Hawk-Eye replay technology on every one of the eight match courts. So far no other event , including the Grand Slams, can claim this distinction.  New concession stands have also been added to include the Corona Plaza , Corona Beach House Bar and Vantage Point all with the purpose of enhancing the viewing experience of the fans.
So make sure you get out the the see all the action !



Not to leave out my neighborhood the Summit located in south Palm Desert which in my opinion  is still one of the most desirable non gated communities in the area.  We have several  homes that have sold from listing prices of $649,000 to over a million . It is a golf cart ride to Ironwood Country Club or Monterra so make sure it is on your must see list for real estate.



So that is all for now have to go a friend just called with tickets for the tennis tonight !!
