Aloha, Today I’m sure we are all remembering where we were 10 years ago on 9/11 – as we take some time to remember those who lost their lives on that tragic day – a day that changed the fabric of who were are as individuals and who we are as a nation. Despite the fact that this is the 10 year anniversary, it seems like it was only yesterday when tragedy struck, so great was the emotional impact and the aftermath of those attacks. Please take a moment to remember the many lives that were changed on that fateful day.

Aloha, Happy Labor Day weekend and what a beautiful day it is! I hope you are experiencing the same sunny skies that we are. This past month ended up in a tie with Aug 2010 with a total of 64 sales, although year to date we are still slightly ahead with 504 compared to 469 last year. It was another slow week, with only one new listings – perhaps because of the holiday.

Aloha, We haven’t seen a whole lot of shakin going on in the way of condo sales the last couple of weeks – maybe it’s because there are a total of 27 condos currently in escrow. One is priced in the $100K’s, 8 in the $200K’s, 8 in the $300K’s, 5 in the $400K’s, 3 in the $500K’s and 2 are over a million. It’s easy to see what the popular price ranges are! There are also 9 homes in escrow with 4 in the $400K’s, and then one each in the 6,7,8,9, and $1M price range. Those $400K homes don’t stay on the market long.

Aloha, It was a very slow week, both in condos and single family residences as you’ll see from the updates below. It’s not uncommon for things to slow to a crawl this time of the year as the focus shifts to getting kids back into school.

Aloha, June 2011 fell a little short of June 2010 sales, with only 65 compared to 73. Of those 65, 27 were residential, 10 land and 28 condos. The number of condos sold is higher than last June which had only 26. The same goes for land - we had one more sale this June than last. It was the residential that showed a 27% decrease going from 37 in Jun 10 to 27 in Jun 11. Year to date we are slightly ahead, with 380 sales so far compard to 347 last year this time. We're doing good, however, compared to the recent past, which saw only 213 sales as of this time in 09 and 329 for 08. Of course, if you go back any further than 08 the numbers jump up dramatically, with the 06 being the top "year to date" with 974 sales. There were even more than that in 05 but why go there! We already know 05 wa...

Aloha, It was a pretty quiet week overall, with no new listings in condos or homes and a total of two new escrows.

Aloha, We had quite a bit of activity this past week as three units went into escrow and three closed, two of which were not short sales or foreclosures.

Aloha, I’m back home after a wonderful trip in Switzerland. Last week with fairly steady, with 3 new listings, 2 new escrows and 2 sales. So far we’re ahead of the game as compared to July of 2010, which had 58 sales compared to the 59 we have as of today. Of those sales, in 2010 – 18 were condos while 22 condo sales are reported for July 2011 so far.

Aloha, I’m sure you’ve all heard about the Swiss Alps: What they don’t tell you in the brochures is that these peaks are even more elusive than driving up to Kokee hoping to see the NaPali in all it’s glory. These peaks are VERY elusive. I heard one local say that the Matterhorn came out for 15 minutes within the last three days. Take about cloudy days! Here at Wengen, where Jungfraujoch, Eiger and Monch are the main attractions, it’s a real tease. When it comes to the mountain, now you see them, now you don’t – but when they do reveal just a tiny portion of their mightly peaks, you feel like you’ve just been given a real gift. No matter how big or small the view, it’s all breathtaking. On to your weekly update. NEW LISTINGS246638 CND A 3 4-5-4-15-21-40 FS $209,000 Sandpiper Village I #...

Aloha, From Paris! Weather here is much like I'm used to in Kauai - raining one minute, clear the next. Hardly any green here except for trees. Lots of old buildings though and enough history to last a lifetime. Once again, this was an unusual week in that there we no new condo listings at all - and no sales.

Aloha, And happy Fourth of July to everyone. It's a magnificent day here with lots of blue sky and a healthy dose of tradewinds. Our parking lot here at the Cliffs is jammed full of cars, indicative of summer travel. The hard thing to believe is that we're already in July. Are they shortening the months or what? We didn't quite meet the sales stats from Jun 2010 which had 73 sales whereas June 2011 only had 65. We did however, have more condo sales - 28 compared to 25 last year with the majority occurring in the Kawaihau zone.

Aloha, It's been another week of rain/sun/rain/sun - which is it doing? Just wait a second and it will change again. My home office looks out to the ocean and I often watch the rain come in off the water, then things clear up and it looks all bright and sunny, only to see more rain coming again.

Aloha, Here we are midway through June - we're lagging slightly behind this time last year which ended up with 73 sales compared to the 38 we have now. If we double that by the end of the month, we'll be ahead of the game. Of those 38 sales, 16 were condos compared to 26 condos sold in Jun 10. Year to date we're doing ok - we already have 353 compared to 347 for last year at this time. Quite a few went into escrow this week, all but one of which was either a short sale or REO.

Aloha, It's the middle of June - who can believe it? Did we just skip the first half of the year? There seems to be more activity this month than the last, with more properties going into escrow and certainly more buyers looking with serious interest. Last June there were 73 sales, 26 of which were condos. So far this year there are 25 sales, with 11 condo sales. Do you think we'll surpass 2010? I do!

Aloha, Finally, some sun today! Once again we had flash flood warning this week and several truly torrential downpours. My only question is, why does it happen everytime I go out to show property? My client's showed up at the house they wanted to see with a beach towel over their heads, then used the towel to dry off before viewing the home. I love the rain, but not when I'm trying to get into the car holding an unbrella, paperwork, my purse, water and everything else. This past May outperformed May 2010 by a solid 24% increase. I'll be posting a brief overview of May 2011 Stats next or you can go to my website and download the entire report.

Aloha, This has been another week of dodging in and out of the showers - some have been heavy and brief, others misty and drawn out. I love the weather here. While driving to the office the other day, I pulled out of the dry parking lot then hit a spot on KaHaku where it was literally pouring, only to quickly drive out of that within a couple hundred yards, then arrived at the Princeville center where the rain had already passed. The fun thing to remember is - just because It's pouring rain outside your window does not mean I'm experiencing the same thing - even if I live in the same neighborhood. Condo sales are definitely up this month compared to May 2010. There are 29 sales to date compared to 18 for all of May last year. Year to date for May 2010 had 274 sales while this May is alr...
