Palm Springs Mid-Century Modern Homes Then & Now

Online, March 8, 2011 (Newswire.com) - While most economists agree that the majority of housing markets throughout the United States are showing improvement, most also agree that now is a good time to purchase a home for those that can afford it. Not only are housing prices down, but mortgage rates remain low and there are ample homes available to select from. To assist homebuyers with finding the perfect home, Realtors Claudine & Alvin in Palm Springs, California has added a new page to its website that is devoted to Mid-Century Modern architecture.

"Interest in Mid-Century Modern homes is hardly anything new," said Claudine, who works with her partner Alvin. "The Palm Springs Housing area has long been recognized as the world center for this unique style of architecture. Therefore, it only made sense to dedicate an entire page of our website to this style of home."

Mid-Century Modern architecture is generally considered to include homes that were designed and constructed between 1933 and 1965, though the time of construction isn't the only feature that is common among these homes. Rather, Mid-Century Modern homes tend to be organic in design with less formality than the International style that preceded it. Other characteristics of Mid-Century Modern architecture include open floor plans and ample windows, which are meant to help bring the indoors into the home.

"It is really a very beautiful style," says Alvin, who makes up the other half of the team. "While samples of this style of architecture can be found in other parts of the country, we are proud to represent the area where most of these homes can be found. As Palm Springs real estate ( http://www.claudinereal.com/ ) professionals, we thought it was only natural to re-focus our attention on this style of home. That way, we can provide homebuyers with a specialized level of expertise when it comes to buying Mid-Century Modern homes."
