Spring has Antelope Valley blooming with poppies and land investment

The Los Angeles Times has reported: The Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve is blooming. The reserve, 15 miles west of Lancaster at 15101 Lancaster Road, offers free guided public tours daily during wildflower season. The California State Parks website says: "The poppies are here! We don't have carpets of orange yet, but we have brilliant patches starting to fill in the south facing slopes, with blinding yellow swaths of goldfields covering hillsides and along the North Poppy Loop trail."

This area on the west side of Antelope Valley is a wild poppy reserve, which turns hectors of land bright orange. This area is great for horseback riding, and hiking, as well as off road vehicles in Fairmount Butte. Most of this area on the west side of Lancaster and Palmdale is vacant unused land, and with real estate at its ten years lows this is a great time to buy land in the part of Los Angeles County.

Homes in the valley have created a stampede of investors, where the home market has been very aggressive the last six months. Starter homes and foreclosures in Lancaster and Palmdale, Ca. have been at market lows similar to prices in 1995 when this area was in a growth phase. Many townhouses have sold for thirty five and forty thousand, and four bedroom homes have sold for less than one hundred thousand. These are market lows of a lifetime in both homes and vacant land. It is time to spring into investment when the market is at the bottom.
