Aloha, We are quickly approaching the end of the year – and CHRISTMAS! Are you ready for it? Somehow, even though we have all year to prepare, it still sneaks up on most of us. As for real estate, this month outperformed last October but only by a slight margin of 4 sales or 5.48%. Princeville condos were actually down by 2 going from 9 last Oct to 7 this Oct. We’re starting out November with 3 sales with a target of 78 that sold last Nov.

Aloha, This week has been nothing short of spectacular – almost every day has been a full on beach day; lots of sun, some high fluffy clouds, all ending with beautiful sunsets. It’s apparently convinced at least 5 condo buyers to take the plunge as noted below. As of today, there are only 57 condo listings, ranging from a low of $201,500 (which actually already has several offers on it and is just awaiting review and acceptance) up to a high of $1.8M.

A Memorable Visit to Queen’s Bath in Princeville, Kaua’i in Hawai’i   One of the more memorable adventures of our recent trip to Kaua’i was a trip to Queen’s Bath, not far from the Westin where we stayed.   Like so many of Kaua’i’s beaches, this one (not actually a sandy beach) is a hidden gem, accessed from a small parking area (don’t park anywhere else – you’ll get booted and ticketed) in a beautiful residential neighborhood (yes, of course I checked out the real estate).   The trail is rather steep and often slippery through the woods. We almost didn’t go because Kay had left her hiking shoes at the hotel. But the beautiful day beckoned, we retrieved the shoes and set off.   Oh my, was it worth it!   The trail is less than ¼ mile (I think) and the beauty of the lush greenery and the ... 10/18/2013

Aloha, The slowdown continues, with just one new condo listing and one unit going into escrow. As for houses two are back on the market and one went into escrow. As I said last week, its common to have a slowdown at the end of summer and although it may be the natural rhythm of the market, it’s never welcome. After all, what real estate agent and seller doesn’t love a hot market? Buyer, maybe not so much as they like to have time to pick and choose. The flaw in that style is some buyers forget to ever buy until the market is back to hot, and then they pay the price.

Aloha, It was another glorious week and from the looks of it, buyers are slowing down a bit, especially when it comes to houses. As of today, Sunday there are 352 homes on the market Island wide and 251 available condos. Interestingly enough, 113 homes and 76 condos are currently under contract which is a pretty good number. Since 3/15/13 a total of 253 homes (42 a month) and 200 condos (33 monthly) have sold. If things stay as they have been, the existing residential inventory will be sold within 8.3 months while condos will only take 7.6 months.
