Palm Springs : The Movie Colony

Movie Colony values, provenance included

Here the architecture is part of the balance sheet. A documented mid century restoration and a tasteful erasure of one are not the same asset, and the buyer who cares most is the one who will pay most.

  • Desert architecture fluency
  • Seasonal timing strategy
  • Discretion

A number prepared by a person

  • Provenance and restoration quality, valued the way the right buyer values it.
  • Short term rental rules and what they do to your buyer pool.
  • Seasonality: what listing in October is worth versus June.

No drip campaign, no automated valuation report with a stock photo of a porch. One reply, from me.

A planning estimate, not tax advice. Exclusions assume you meet the ownership and use tests. Depreciation recapture, 1031 treatment and state surtaxes change the picture, and those are worth a conversation before you list.
