kailua oahu real estate: Aikahi Living at its Finest! 223 Aiokoa St-SOLD OVER ASKING IN 7 DAYS - 06/27/13 04:22 AM
This is a follow up to my article when this awesome property was first listed. There was one broker's open, and one open house and then 7 offers were presented to the Seller's. This was one of those transactions that was pleasurable. The Seller's were agreeable to all of my suggestions from start to finish. We met a month or so before and set our game plan. The seller decluttered, did some finishing touches on fixtures in the house, gave it a good cleaning inside and out, and finally staged it to sell.
The Buyer's were pleasent, and the Buyer's … (0 comments)

kailua oahu real estate: GET A HOME INSPECTION!! - 05/06/13 06:05 AM
GET A HOME INSPECTION!
 
For the Seller too:
 
You may think that this is an article directed only towards you as a Buyer, but no it is not. When you have intentions of listing your property, it may be wise to have a home inspection on your property to reveal any hidden dangers that may bite you when you are in escrow.  Just think of this as a possible money saver in the end. If you are selling your property for lets say $1,000,000. Is it worth your while to invest in a home inspection that may cost around … (0 comments)

kailua oahu real estate: Why Rent When You Can Own Your Own Home? - 05/01/13 10:30 AM

 
Why rent, when you may be able to purchase your own home….
For only a bit more than you are paying each month in rent. Just take a pencil and paper and figure this out. Whatever your monthly rent is, times it by 12 months, then times that by 10 years.  See how much money you could be directing toward a growing investment, which you can use to turn even more dreams into a reality in the future. It is crazy to think that in 10 years of renting a property for $3000, that you have spent $360,000 cash with … (2 comments)

This is a follow up blog about this new listing that entered the market last week Monday. Broker's open had over 70 brokers and public groups that came through this past Thursday. This Sunday there were 40-50 groups. I was fortunate enough to get featured on the Honolulu Star Advertiser, and a BONUS ARTICLE below from the Honolulu Magazine which was a pleasant surprise! The writer was nice enough to email me the link to her article.
The interesting thing that I experienced on this Sunday open house, was that people lingered at the house. By 5:00pm there were still people … (4 comments)

kailua oahu real estate: Kailua's Kaha St. Listing-Receiving 16 Offers..CRAZY MARKET RIGHT NOW! - 02/22/13 02:14 AM
Kailua has established international notoriety with its fabulous beaches and views. It is also a favorite location and been visited by many celebrities as well as President Obama and his family. I would say last year and now this year, the market has taken off big time on Oahu in general. Kailua is crazy right now!!! Our inventory is probably historically low along with the interest rates. There are agents/buyers just swarming over new listings and this one is a prime example.

kailua oahu real estate: This Keolu Hills Home Has It All! - 01/30/13 04:11 AM
Kailua's Keolu Hills is an older neighborhood (most homes built in the 60's era which are generally single wall construction homes) that sometimes offers lovely views of Kailua's Enchanted Lakes and the neighborhood below. It is located just a few minutes from Kailua Beach. In the past six months there have been 20 listings that have sold with the average price of $714k. To date, Kailua's median price range is just below $800k, so Keolu Hills is somewhat affordable for the area.
There is a new listing that has popped up last week that is a little out of character since … (2 comments)

Kailua only has two highrise condominiums in its community that affords its residents a fabulous view from the higher floors, Windward Passage and Meridian East. Last week Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties listed this Meridian East property and I couldn't wait to see it. I visited it on our Thursday broker's open with a client (investor).

It is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath PH that has the potential of being a 3 bedroom if you … (2 comments)

kailua oahu real estate: Enchanted Lake's "Akamai Street" listing sold before posted on the mls - 11/13/12 02:26 AM
 
I have been working these clients searching for a property since early July. A super nice couple who is newly married that relocated back to Hawaii. The wife works in the coast guard and the husband is a retired vet. So they wanted to take advantage of their veteran benefits to purchase a house. This is usually easy to find a property under normal circustances, however being that we are in a seller's market here in Kailua, it was a battle to land a house for them.
Over a four month period, they fallen out of escrow due to … (0 comments)
