kauai home sales: November 30th Deadline on 2009 Tax Credit for Buyers: What does it mean for Home Sellers? - 08/06/09 05:15 PM
Have you been considering selling, but afraid that nothing is selling?
With the $8,000 tax credit scheduled to end Nov. 30, the number of home buyers looking to take advantage of the credit (as well as the historically low prices and low interest rates) could possibly increase as the year winds down, especially as we start seeing glimmers of an economic upturn for the real estate market. If you've been waiting for the right window of opportunity to put your home on the market, this might be the time. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. Feel free … (0 comments)

kauai home sales: Too busy to blog - 05/27/09 05:14 AM
Is the Kauai real estate market turning around? I have experienced a surge in showings this month, as compared to May 2008. The lower prices are attracting more buyers, especially in the $200,000-$500,000 price range. Just this month, I now have sales pending on two Apopo Hale homes in Kapaa, which are listed at $212,000 and $224,900. I also have a sale pending on a Hanapepe town plantation house listed at $332,000. All three of these listings are Fannie Mae owned properties.

kauai home sales: Can I look smart by buying now? - 03/31/09 06:03 PM

Mortgage finance giant Freddie Mac said Thursday that average rates on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages dropped to 4.85% last week, from 4.98% the previous week. This was the lowest in the history of Freddie Mac's survey, which dates back to 1971, and was down a full percentage point from a year ago. These are truly historic times and they present a great opportunity to anyone who is thinking of buying.

kauai home sales: Windy Weather this Week on Kauai - 02/28/09 03:11 PM
BRRRR- it has been cool and windy this week. The full time residents are bundled up in jeans, hoodies, and scarves; while visitors from cooler climates are wearing shorts, and sundresses, and looking at us bundled up folks like we are crazy! I saw an article in yesterday's Garden Island Newspaper that some tourists were having trouble finding rental cars. They recommending reserving a car in advance of your vacation. One industrious duo from England rented a pickup truck from U-Haul. Which brings me to real estate. Realtors who had been complaining about lack of buyers have experienced a flurry of … (0 comments)
