I attended brokers open and previewed this property. The floors were stripped to bear bones, the kitchen … (0 comments)

kailua real estate: Diamond in the rough Kailua "Olomana" home
- 10/18/12 04:45 AM
The Olomana community in Kailua is located right off the Pali Highway butted up to the mountain. This area is greener with a country like feel. Kailua beach is only about a 5 minute car ride away. The lots are usually 7500 square feet or higher, and considering that Kailua's median price range is in the upper 700,000's, the Olomana area offers properties that can be purchased for less than Kailua's median price range. Most homes are single wall construction, older, but very liveable. It has its own schools, and parks for children to play in as well. A great little … (2 comments)

kailua real estate: Kailua Buyers are on a Shopping Spree!
- 08/29/12 07:38 AM
Kailua is experiencing a frenzy of buyers just waiting for properties to enter the market place. We are attributing this to historic low interest rates and lack of inventory which is creating this envioronment that buyers are on a "Shopping Spree". It has been crazy!!! I have two sets of buyers that placed offers on the same property which I had help from another agent to assist. There were 12 offers on this property. In a normal healthy market, we usually have a 6 months worth of inventory. Our current inventory is slashed in 1/2 with 3 months of inventory left … (2 comments)
kailua real estate: Why You Need A Pre-Approval Letter Or At Least Be Pre-Qualified
- 08/17/12 04:53 AM
Why You Need A Pre-Approval Letter Or At Least Be Pre-Qualified When Purchasing A Property A pre-approval letter verifies your ability to purchase a property. It is based on several factors including your credit score, job and employment history, current income, bank references, and the ability to fund your down payment. It does not specify numbers for each item, however. After all, you wouldn't want to advertise your bank account numbers or credit score to every seller or broker you encounter. But the letter verifies that a responsible lender has taken a good look into each area and drawn a conclusion … (2 comments)
