I work in Wailea, Maui, and have the opportunity to meet a lot of interesting buyers/ tire kickers. Okay I've heard this before. I am going to wait till next year when the market really tanks. I had a client from Canada come in today and say the exact same thing; I am waiting till next year.  Another quote, I hear is real estate is safer long term than Wall St.  Here is my favorite, cash is king.  Well show me the money!  What I am seeing is in Maui, if you are paying attention there are some great buys … (2 comments)

mauireal estate: Why Not Nationalize Oil - 10/14/08 06:14 PM
Okay so Banks all over the world are being bought by Governments.  So our Government is going into the Banking business.  So if we are going to Nationalize Banking then let's go all the way.  Let's naturalize oil production on government lands.  We could pay off the federal debt and improve educations and infrastructure.  At least we know it would pay off and pay dividends.

How to sell your home or condo in a slow Maui market?

 
We all know that the real estate market has really slowed down.  Maui homes for sale are not exempt from this current market. So what can I do to sell my Wailea Maui home or condo more effectively?  Pricing your home to current sales in the last six months is really important.  Have your Realtor do a price comparable of homes recently sold.  You might also think about getting an early appraisal.  This will also help all potential buyers get a reality check.

Thinking of selling your Maui dream home.  Here are a few tips I would recommend. A little paint can make a major change to a home. It's always a good idea to put on a fresh coat of paint before you place your home on the market. It gives a buyer a feeling of a new home and that the home has been well cared for over the years. Also consider doing a few minor projects that make a Hugh difference.  I remember when mauve was the color.  Well I am tearing … (0 comments)

I don't know about the rest of you but this has been an interesting presidential campaign.  Okay I voted for Bush twice but I find myself in the 75% of unhappy voters with his performance. So I am ready for some change. So we have some serious problems with the housing market, war in Iraq and what I see is a lack of leadership across the board.  I find that I am a Ron Paul fan but I don't think he is an option.
So we have Obama with a new plan and McCain who is a vetran and has been … (16 comments)
