Rental FAQs

Our Services: Seasonal & Long Term | Furnished & Unfurnished

Indian Springs Real Estate offers comprehensive rental services for homeowners and investors looking to lease their furnished or unfurnished properties. We cater to a diverse range of rental needs, from short-term stays of 30 days to long-term leases of a year or more.

Long-Term Rentals (6 months to 1 year or longer)
The Coachella Valley boasts a robust rental market, fueled by factors such as limited affordable housing, seasonal industries, and our unique desert climate. We see a consistent influx of new residents seeking rentals while they settle into the area, start new jobs, or prepare for homeownership. Current high interest rates further contribute to the demand for long-term rentals.

Seasonal/Vacation Rentals (30 days to 6 months)
Our area also attracts seasonal residents escaping colder climates. These tenants typically seek stays of one to several months in well-appointed homes with features like pools, spas, and desirable views. South- to west-facing properties with ample sunshine are particularly popular. Demand for seasonal rentals peaks from January through April, with many homeowners securing tenants for two to four months. We strive to maximize rental income by strategically combining shorter stays to achieve optimal occupancy during peak season.

Shoulder and Off-Season Considerations
The shoulder months (May, November, December) and off-season (June through October) see significantly less rental activity. Occasional inquiries may arise from those between homes, corporate relocations, or insurance claims, but securing bookings during these periods is often challenging and at a discounted monthly rate.

Short-Term Vacation Rentals (STVRs) Less Than 30-Days
We do not service short-term vacation rentals less than 30 days due to community restrictions and the impracticality of Realtor management for such short stays. Our focus remains on maximizing returns for long-term rentals, seasonal rentals while being the leading listing office in the neighborhood selling homes.

Coachella & Stagecoach Music Festivals
Since our rentals must be 30-days or more, festival attendees are not our customers. They only stay 3 to 4 nights. However, we do get bookings from vendors and corporations needing housing for employees working the events and they will rent the home for a full 30 days.
