So you're thinking of buying a midcentury modern home in Palm Springs. You've been scrolling through Realtor.com at midnight, favoriting every butterfly roof and cool MCM home you find, but now you're wondering — could I actually do this?

Yes. Yes, you can. And we're here to help.

Welcome to the Meiselman Registry's Home Buyers community — a space for everyone in the early-to-serious stages of buying a Meiselman home in Palm Springs. Whether you're dreaming about making one your full-time residence, a weekend desert escape, or a short-term vacation rental that practically runs itself during high season — this is your corner of the Registry.

Buying a mid-century modern home is not quite like buying any other house. There are things worth knowing before you make an offer — about land leases, original condition versus renovation scope, what an original floor plan looked like versus one that's been heavily modified, and what's actually involved in fixing up one of these gems.

If you're thinking of this as an investment property or a short-term rental property, there are also things worth knowing about the Palm Springs vacation rental market, licensing, tax, and regulatory issues, and what carrying costs actually look like on a mid-century property.

This community exists to answer all your questions — from people who've been through it.

We want to hear from you. Are you just starting to look, or are you already in escrow? Are you buying to live in or to invest? What questions do you wish someone had answered before you started? Drop them in the comments — because someone in this community almost certainly has the answer.
