Welcome to Wednesday, everyone, where we don't recognize half the topics that people in Palm Springs searched for on Google this year, but we're telling you about them anyway. According to data from the search giant, we were the only place in the country where "crepes near me" was among the top trending searches, but "air quality near me" was actually on more people's minds. TV shows you were curious about included "The Last of Us" and "The Golden Bachelor;" Musically, you sought information about Taylor Swift's tour most, but also Doble P; And as far as sports go, the Canelo Álvarez vs. John Ryder boxing match was on your minds the most, but also Mexico vs. Japan baseball.

LEADING OFF |
 |
|
The Elan development in South Palm Springs is one of two new housing projects in the area. |
|
🏡 Housing report reveals price, sales decreases
The November housing report, released last week, revealed that the median price for a home in the Coachella valley sits at $635,000, lower than the month before and down 1.6% compared to last year.
-
In Palm Springs, the median price of an average-size detached home in November was $1.25 million, up from $1.21 million last year.
-
Sales have dropped since May and are currently 30.6% below average. The report attributes the decline to high interest rates and the market adjusting to the increased demand during the pandemic. Sales are expected to improve, but a full recovery is unlikely until mortgage rates reach around 5.5%.
-
On Dec. 1, valley inventory stood at 2,260 units, that’s the highest since the start of the pandemic. Most of the increase is seasonal and caused by the higher number of new listings this time of year.
-
Bottom line: That inventory is about 1,000 units fewer than what’s normal. With a seasonal increase in inventory expected over the next four months, it could reach 2,500.

AND FINALLY ... |
 |
|
Tuesday evening, on the sixth day of Hanukkah, members of the Palm Springs Jewish community, city officials, and staff left City Hall with cookies, handfuls of gelt, and lifted spirits following a special menorah lighting ceremony in the lobby.
Driving the news: Rabbi Yankel Kreiman from Bikur Cholim, who first moved to the city with his wife Rochel 30 years ago, performed the ceremony was.
Why it matters: The lighting of the menorah in the City Hall lobby signified hope in dark times, Rabbi Kreiman said, adding, “When there’s dark things going on around us, Hanukkah gives us the answer. The way to get rid of the darkness is with light — the light of a candle.” |
