Aloha,We've had another week of spectacular weather just to my liking. Not too hot with bright blue skies.

Sandpiper 216 just came on the market at $399! This is an upstairs interior unit which faces the courtyard and the pool.

Case in point: Puamana 22C listed for $419K went into escrow the other day with only 16 days on the market. The thing about it is, this unit was previously listed from 5/07 to 10/07 duri...

Aloha,I hope you are not somewhere reading this where the weather is undesirable, as I have to report that we have had yet another stellar week.

Aloha,I hope you've been having the same spectacular weather we've been enjoying.  The week before last was so wonderful that even the locals (like me!) were saying how rare it was to have one full week of absolutely perfect days.  We're back to more normal weather now which is sun, light clouds ...
