Salsa Dancing in Hawaii - 01/19/12 10:57 PM
I have been a fan of dancing from the age of 19 when I finally worked up enough nerve to ask a girl to dance. She said yes, much to my suprise, and the rest is history. I danced my way through my time in the Navy and then my way through the University of Hawaii at Manoa. I also worked at a wonderful restaurant and nightclub called Bobby McGee's in Waikiki which only fueled my love for dancing. Well, that was the 80's and well over 100 pounds ago. I just happened to watch a movie called "Can We Dance"

Refinancing Your Department of Hawaiian Homeland Home - 01/18/12 02:54 PM
DHHL (Department of Hawaiian Homelands) properties are for Hawaiians with at least 50% Hawaiian in them that is traceable through their genealogy. An applicant to live in a DHHL Home or on DHHL Land must submit an application to the DHHL, along with proof of heritage and then be approved. Once this is done you go on a waiting list. This is a very simple explanation regarding this matter for a process that can take a lifetime to actually get a home. In the past, parents have left their place in line to their children upon their passing.

Hawaii Homes For Sale - 01/13/12 06:22 PM
It is well known that the Real Estate fallout of 2008 did not impact Honolulu as hard as most of the United States. There are many reasons for that. Many of the areas of Oahu that did see a fall in value has experienced a recovery of value. We know this because we track home prices. We are not talking about Assessed Value, we are talking about Market Value and this is established by the prices that Sellers and Buyers agree upon in real hard dollars. Over the years, interest rates have fallen to the lowest rates many of us have

The Sony Open In Hawaii - 01/12/12 05:17 PM
The PGA’s Sony Open in Hawaii is played at the Waialae Country Club on Oahu’s South Shore in the Kahala Area. This year the event actually began on January 9th but play started today under partly cloudy skies and cool Hawaiian breeze. The Sony Open brings nearly $25,000,000 in revenue to the State and tons of television coverage, much of which is like a Postcard Video. No doubt, people will want to come to Honolulu to golf after watching some of the play. The Kahala Area of Oahu is one of the most prestigious areas to live in the State

The Honolulu Board of Realtors Stats Are Out For Real Estate in Hawaii - 01/11/12 10:59 PM
It looks like the year saw a 10% decrease in closed transactions for all properties; 14.1% for Single Family and 6.5% for condos. What does this mean? Well it could mean that there was less inventory for 2011, less Buyers in the market, Buyers sitting on the fence waiting to see what happens next, or that well things were just a little slow. The good news is that single family median prices increased from November 2011 and December 2010. Condos on the other hand decreased in November 2011 and December 2010. Days on Market "DOM"for December 2011 increased for Condos to

With Interest Rate Going Down and Home Prices Going Down WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR - 01/11/12 10:50 PM
This is the perfect market for Buyers. Why are you still sitting on the fence watching opportunities pass you by? Are you waiting for someone to push? Are you waiting for interest rates to increase? Are you waiting for home values to increase? If you are, the market is going to eventually price you out of the market. Is the unknown scary? Not sure which direction to turn and what steps to take? Guess what… we know the answers to these questions and we can get you moving in the right direction. Afraid to ask questions in fear of sounding stupid?...Don’t

Bank Owned House - 01/11/12 10:19 PM
Bank Owned Properties and Bank Owned Homes on Oahu seem to be dropping in numbers. There was a period that one Short Sale in a neighborhood would drastically reduce the value of the nearby homes because of it's reduced sale amount. For a period, many homes that came on the market used the sale price of the last Short Sale property that closed to help set their List Price. What this meant to buyers was, for the most part, Short Sales were not representing the big value they once did. As the Island's Real Estate Market has settled down, we are

Happy New Year - 01/05/12 04:17 PM
Life is good. Three days into the new year and I'm excited about what this new year will mean to us. Goals have been set and we so far have met them. The other day I heard on the radio that if four people set resolutions one of us will have abandoned these goals by the end of the first week of January. If you make it through the first week, two of of the three remaining will have given up by July 1st. I want to be the one left standing of the four. What about you? Maybe if we

Hawaii Real Estate 2012 - 01/05/12 04:10 PM
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this year is going to be a really great year to buy or sell Real Estate in Hawaii. Why, you ask? Well, with sales prices remaining low in most areas of Hawaii and interest rates ridicoulsy low how it could it be bad? Some want the market to drop even more and well that will be scary. For the market to drop even lower something bad is going to have to happen. I'm for no bad things happening. Although the market on the mainland is still sliding in many

What Are Interest Rates - 01/05/12 03:52 PM
According to Wikipedia "An interest rate is the rate at which interest is paid by a borrower for the use of money that they borrow from a lender. " Basically, if I lend you money and I want to make money lending you money then I will charge you a fee which is otherwise known as Interest. Based on the time period we allow you to pay for the use of the money I lent you and how much I charge you the Interest Rate is calculated. Bottom line all you truly need to understand is the lower the interest rate
