TOP 100 Realtors in the State of Hawaii...

Joseph & Jodi Hogin (ERA Pacific Properties) — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 09:25:43 -0700

The Top Realtor list is compiled for Hawaii Business by PKF Pacific Hawaii LLP, a tax, audit and advisory firm. The Top 100 Realtors are identified based on total sales volume in the home resale market for single family homes and condominiums as entered by the Realtor into the MLS systems on all islands. Every effort is made to identify and remove original (developer) sales from the listings. Primary listors receive 100 percent of the credit for the real estate transaction. If a Realtor represents the buyer and seller in a transaction, both sides are counted toward their total sales volume.

WE MADE THE CUT! not bad for a guy who's teacher once told him he would never be anything in life!

Out of the thousands of agents in the State I made #21 and #6 for the island of Maui...

Real Estate & Mortgage Insights

Joseph & Jodi Hogin (ERA Pacific Properties) — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 11:31:19 -0700

Real Estate & Mortgage Insights

Finally, the Real Cause of the Financial Crisis...Or Not

In its latest report on existing-home sales, the National Association of Realtors reported that the number of first-time home buyers entering the housing market is declining, while the number of investors picking up rental properties is rising. The numbers suggest that tightened lending standards are pricing all but the wealthy out of the mortgage scene.

The NAR reported that only 29 percent of all existing-home sales went to first-timers in January. That is down from 33 percent in December and 40 percent in January 2010 (when the tax credit was still in effect.) However, investors made up 17 percent of buyers last year, and by last month they had claimed 20 percent of the market share, and made up 23 percent of all existing-home buyers in January.

Similarly all-cash sales grew to 32 percent in January, about three times the historical average, up from 29 percent in December and 26 percent the year before. This new level is a record high on the NAR charts. All-cash deals averaged just 20 percent of all sales in 2009 and moved up to 28 percent in 2010.

"Increases in all-cash transactions, the investor market share and distressed home sales all go hand-in-hand. With tight credit standards, it's not surprising to see so much activity where cash is king and investors are taking advantage of conditions to purchase undervalued homes," said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist said.

And while sales did increase, the rise in investors does not necessarily indicate a strengthening of the market, but it is more a sign of the weakness. The large number of foreclosures are keeping prices down, and attracting those with cash to buy up bargains.

"It is really a foreclosure-driven market," said Ethan Harris, head of developed markets at Bank of America Merrill Lynch Global Research in New York, as quoted by Bloomberg News. "I don't think it is a sign of the market returning to health."

The NAR also reported that distressed properties made up 37 percent of the sold home inventory in January, a 12-month high, up slightly from 36 percent in December.

The high number of foreclosures for sale is putting downward pressure on home prices, which seems to only benefit investors at the moment, as lower-income or lower-credit buyers are unable to qualify for funds in the current mortgage climate.

Investors with ready cash can compound the falling prices issue, as they have such an attractive bargaining chip with banks: full, immediate payment for these properties that are essentially thorns in the banks' sides.

Many analysts say that things will only improve for borrowers with small down payments when the unemployment falls substantially. And the rate did fall in January, but it's going to have to move much closer to the comfortable 5 percent level before real change will make its way into the mortgage world. In the meantime, foreclosures are likely to rise, with RealtyTrac predicting a 20 percent increase in households receiving foreclosure notices this year. And the field will remain fertile for investors.

Helpful things to know about moving!

Joseph & Jodi Hogin (ERA Pacific Properties) — Fri, 01 Jun 2012 20:33:58 -0700

If your plans this year include a major move, it is

important that you plan ahead to save yourself

frustration, time and money.

Start by planning your move at least six to eight weeks

before your targeted moving date. Ask friends or

neighbors to recommend moving companies that they

have been happy with for past moves. Contact these

companies to ask about their charges and the types of

services they offer, then compare movers to determine

which one suits your needs and budget.

Companies will offer estimates to help you

approximate moving expenses. Such estimates can be

binding (the mover guarantees the price prior to the

move) or non-binding (the mover estimates the price

and provides ﬁnal charges after the shipment is

weighed). To assist movers in calculating the cost of

your move, show them every item to be moved,

including the contents of your attic, basement, and

garage. Ask the mover to explain the estimate in detail

and reach a clear understanding about the amount of

packing and other services you'll require. Also, be sure

you receive a written and signed copy of the estimate.

Before packing begins, the mover will take an

inventory of your household goods to be shipped.

Since the inventory record is one of your most

important shipping documents, make sure all copies

are legible, and that all items are numbered, listed and

described correctly. To save on packing charges, you

may want to pack part of your belongings yourself. But

keep in mind movers usually will not accept liability for

breakage to "owner-packed" items, or they may

require that the driver inspect the cartons. Be sure to

ask your moving company about its own policy, and

ask for advice on packing materials and procedures.

Give me a call for answers to all of your real estate

questions. I can help with selling your current house,

ﬁnding you a new home, even relocation services - if

you are moving out of the area. I'll help make your

move as pleasant as possible. Call me today!

Where are all the deals on Maui

Joseph & Jodi Hogin (ERA Pacific Properties) — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 13:54:25 -0700

So in case you didn't know. my wife and I deal with allot of foreclosed , Short Sales, Reo, Bank Owned homes on Maui lately...

Not something we planned on , just something that fell on our laps. We are one of the top REO Realtors on the island. and probably have the most REO listings on Maui.

We have been given a gold mine of homes to list and sell.

Beat up condos for $170,000 to a 4 acre, 6,000 sq,ft estate appraised at $2,800,000 and only asking $1,900,000

Buyers are begging for deals and here they are... but the buyers are not making any offers..

I know they are scared and loans are harder to come by. with the new rates out there buyers should be making deals.. These banks are not looking for full priced offers!

If you have questions or need help making on an offer on these foreclosed homes give Joseph & Jodi Hogin Brokers with ERA Pacific Properties a call at 808-870-2775 or email Joseph.Hogin@era.com

Joseph & Jodi Hogin (ERA Pacific Properties) — Thu, 20 Sep 2007 01:18:39 -0700

So today started out great. woke up early to a beautiful morning kissed by a light rain.

the ocean was calm and the sky blue and then.........

our kids woke up... no matter how hard we try to get them to bed early its seems like a war to get them up.

We get the kids off to school and Jodi and I get to work. Today we worked in the same office. most times Jodi is working one side of the island and I on the other. It was nice to see my wife at work all day. we went out for lunch and had a really good time.

We got home and washed the dogs and did some yard work and then her life went back to normal ( Greys Anatomy is back on). So hold your kids or loved one close.. enjoy it... for tomorrow is never promised.

Whats with the real estate market

Joseph & Jodi Hogin (ERA Pacific Properties) — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 13:42:51 -0700

The Fed just announced that it would be cutting the federal funds rate by 1/2 point to 4.75 percent. This is the first reduction in four years and will affect everything from credit cards to adjustable rate mortgages.

Clearly this major cut is indicative of how bad the Fed thinks the economy is. It will certainly provide temporary help for many people, but I'm wondering if it is too little too late . . .

New listings are always coming on the market.....www.buyahomeonmaui.com is the source for those new listings.
