Honolulu Holiday Real Estate Market - 11/21/08 01:05 PM
November 21st, 2008 categories: Honolulu Real Estate 101 We are less than a week away from Thanksgiving and here are a few things you can expect the market to do between now and Christmas.
1.  Fewer buyers will be in the market and the sheer numbers of showing will drop. 2.  Though there are fewer buyers in the market, there will be some very serious players on the prowl. These buyers are less worried about the price they pay and are more concerned with getting a home or condo.  They generally fall into two categories.

Find The Opportunity! - 11/18/08 02:43 PM
November 18th, 2008 categories: Rants & Riffs With all of the upheaval in the financial markets, it is very easy to get sucked down a funnel of negativity. In fact, I believe many people are so far down this vortex that there is no light at the end of the tunnel for them.  This is based on the amount of misfortune chatter I hear at the gym, the store and amongst many public dialogues.  I am here to say, “Stop It!”

This is true of our Honolulu real estate market.  Let me give you an example.
