Palermo Palm Springs Desirability Index: 21 to 40

Here is the second top 20 in Palermo Palm Springs Desirability Index, based on the original "final release price" of the developer. The prices were based on intrinsic factors such as views, size of the back yards and privacy, not later upgrades such as back yard landscaping, outdoor fireplaces or improved bathroom tiles, etc. According to our research, though, it does appear that the units at the top of the index have had more upgrades as the original buyers, who paid more for their units also sprang for more upgrades. For example, a big percentage of the private pools, spools and spas that were put in at Palermo were installed in the units near the top of the index. Conversely, original buyers who wanted a lower price didn't shell out as often for the upgrades offered by the builder. Those owners here at the beginning may remember that in those pre-construction days that the sales team in the trailer were aiming for at least $20,000 in upgrades per unit. (For more background on these original prices, please see our posting from earlier this week.) Here is the list:
