The most important factors to respondents when making their original decision to purchase a lot were the overall appearance of the resort, the appearance of the landscaping, security, the weather, the swimming pools, the friendly owners and the clubhouses. The table on the following page compares the importance of the various factors to two groups: respondents who have been owners for five years or less and those who have been owners for more than five years. Factors of somewhat higher importance (by at least eight percentage points) to owners who have purchased in the last five years include the lot purchase cost, social activities, fitness, pickleball, the location in Cathedral City and the miscellaneous clubs within the resort. Dining was somewhat less important to those who have purchased in the last five years than it was to those who have owned their lots for more than five years.
