Buyer's guide: Desert Hot Springs
Desert Hot Springs is a Riverside County city in the Coachella Valley, known for its mineral hot springs and views toward Joshua Tree. The 158 listings we show have a median asking price of €383,515, which makes it a more affordable alternative to neighbouring Palm Springs.
Asking prices from current RealEstateAbroad listings, converted to euros:
| Indicator | Desert Hot Springs |
|---|---|
| Listings | 158 |
| Median asking price | €383,515 |
| Middle half | €335,442 to €446,964 |
| Median price per m² | €2,486 |

Houses account for 154 of 158 listings, with 2 apartments and 2 land plots. Three-bedroom homes are the most common (87), then four-bedroom (44), two-bedroom (19), five or more (6) and one-bedroom (2). The narrow price band, with the middle half within about €110,000, shows a market of similar-sized desert homes.
The city built its identity on hot mineral water, and small spa hotels and boutique stays remain part of the local economy. Summers are extremely hot, winters mild, and the San Gorgonio Pass brings strong winds. Joshua Tree National Park is a short drive.
Buyers include Los Angeles residents seeking second homes, retirees and investors targeting short-term rentals. Cities in California tightly regulate vacation rentals, so check the local permit rules before relying on rental income.
Foreigners can buy freely in the United States. California property tax starts at about 1% of the purchase price plus local assessments, and some newer areas add Mello-Roos charges. When you later sell, FIRPTA withholding of 15% generally applies to non-US sellers.
Title and escrow companies manage the closing. For loans, see the US financing page, and for the legal process the US consultation guide. The United States overview summarises national trends.
Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage and Palm Desert are valley neighbours at higher or similar price levels. Yucca Valley and Joshua Tree lie to the north-east in the high desert.

Possibly, but permits and caps are set by the city. Confirm the rules before purchase.
Summer daytime temperatures commonly exceed 40°C, so cooling costs matter.
No. Buying US property does not require a visa, but it does not confer residency either.
