      <title>Maui Real Estate Reports</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;According to Terry Tolman of the Realtors Association of Maui, real estate on the island, &amp;quot;seems to be bouncing along at the bottom.&amp;quot; Terry explained that while the situation is no longer in decline, there isn't much consistent evidence to indicate that the recovery has begun, where sales in the past nine months are concerned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Statistics on the status of real estate came from RAM's Multiple Listing Service. According to those reports, the number of sales closed is very, very low with only 53 closings of single-family homes in September as opposed to 66 in September of the year before. For the same month in 2004 and 2005, there were over a hundred closings each month. Condos looked to be in a similar state with 63 closings this September as opposed to 50 in 2008. But again, the years prior showed a drastically higher number of sales.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>New Maui Continental Flight</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;The recent news is that Continental Airlines is adding a daily route between L.A. and Maui as well as Honolulu/Orange County and a second trip between Honolulu/L.A. These new flights will commence on March 7th.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These new flights are exciting for the tourism industry because there have been some predictions that airlines will lose around $10 billion this year. Continental, among a few other airlines, show inspiring confidence that holiday travel will necessitate the new flights they are adding.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Affordable Real Estate in Kihei</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;In a recent study released by Coldwell Banker, the nation's top ten most affordable and least affordable homes were discussed. While Hawaii's neighborhoods were not on either list, we did learn something about real estate within the state of Hawaii.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The survey was based on 2,200 square foot homes with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and an attached garage. For the state of Hawaii, Honolulu was the most expensive, with the average home (meeting the above criteria) at an average of $712,500. The good news was that Maui's Kihei came up as the cheapest place to buy such a home in Hawaii. The average price was $540,044.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Housing Becoming More Affordable for Maui Residents</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;According to the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization (UHERO), the housing affordability index is on the up. There is still a wide gap between the state's median island income and median price of  a house, but the gap has been consistently growing smaller.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to the UHERO index, when its number is at 100, it means that a family with a median income can afford a median home. The state of Hawaii has never reached that point thanks to high asking prices. Now that those prices are dropping, the gap is narrowing. For the island of Maui, the UHERO index was at 46.4 in 2006 but by 2008 it had risen all the way to 65.6. The number is expected to continue its growth, which is great news for those who want to buy real estate on the island.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hawaii Stocks on the Rise</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;While it is generally advisable to take all good news with a grain of salt on the economic front, it's hard not to return to optimism when there is so much of it at once.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the past couple of months we've had two big airlines provide new service to Maui and Oahu, an increase in the number of visitors to Hawaii, an increase in home sales on a national level, and statistics reporting that Honolulu unemployment is on the decline. Now it looks like Hawaii stocks are on the rise.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As of Friday, September 4th, Hawaii stocks were mostly up at closing. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics had just reported that the pace of national job losses had slowed and Wall Street's numbers began to rise.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>National Home Sales Spike in July</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you read our last blog on the foreclosure spike, there is good news to go with the bad. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), July saw a nationwide 7.2 percent spike in home sales as well. This increase marks the first time in five years that sales have increased four months in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is encouraging news for anyone with a stake in real estate. It is also a good time to start watching listing prices to see the effects of foreclosures versus increased sales.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Hawaii Foreclosure Spike in July</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;July saw a big spike in home foreclosures for the state of Hawaii. According to RealtyTrac's Wednesday report last week, there were almost 300 more filings in July than in June and as far as national rankings for highest foreclosure rate, Hawaii jumped from 19th to 15th between those two months.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The total number of Hawaii foreclosure filings in July was 990 with 706 in June. In July of last year, there were 229. What we've seen is a 332 percent increase in foreclosures for July since the same month last year, and a 40 percent increase since June of this year. That is a very serious jump.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Maui Condo Prices Stabilize</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Home prices continued to decline last month in Maui County but condo sales seemed to be stabilizing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Based on the last month's data from the Realtors Association of Maui (RAM), the median price of a condo was $350,000 in July this year. This is a 39 percent drop from last year's $575,000. The median price of homes was down 13 percent to $532,000 as opposed to last year's $575,000.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>A History of Old Lahaina</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;King's Road&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/7/1/4/2/ar122226348724175.jpg&quot; height=&quot;208&quot; alt=&quot;Lahaina Maui Real Estate&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; style=&quot;float: right;&quot; /&gt;When the missionary William Ellis arrived in Lahaina in 1823, he made the following note of his first impressions of the royal capital:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;The appearance of Lahaina from the anchorage is singularly romantic and beautiful. A fine sandy beach stretches along the margin of the sea, lined for a considerable distance with houses, and adorned with shady clumps of kou trees, or waving groves of cocoa-nuts...the whole district for about three miles, is one continued garden, laid out in beds of taro, potatoes, yams, sugar cane or cloth plant.&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The majority of Lahaina's 2,400 population lived along King's Road--or &lt;em&gt;Alanui Moi--&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;/em&gt;in little grass shacks, with the Royal Fishpond and Palace located in what is now downtown Lahaina. The first European-style building in all of the Hawaiian islands, the royal house was a modest two-story brick structure made of fired bricks of Maui dirt. The royal family did not acually live in the royal house, which felt too strange and confining; instead, they lived in a grass house next door to it and used the brick building for other purposes. &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Lahaina's present-day street names were bestowed upon them during the reign of Kamehameha III at the height of the whaling era, when Honolulu became the official capital of Hawaii in 1850. King's Road became&amp;nbsp; known as Front Street, and the days of living in grass shacks gradually passed to be replaced with many fine Lahaina homes, from modest cottages to luxury residences.&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Maui County to Ban Plastic Bags&lt;/em&gt;?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of a global push to cut back on and eliminate the 3-4 trillion non-biodegradable plastic shopping bags produced throughout the world each year, Maui County took its first steps towards passing a bill written by Councilman Mike Molina last year that would ban retail businesses on Maui, Molokai, and Lanai from providing plastic bags at point of sale by the year 2011. If passed, Maui would become the first Hawaiian county to ban plastic bags. San Francisco was the first U.S. city to ban their use in April 2008.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;img src=&quot;http://farm1.static.flickr.com/2/2475849_24374b24c0.jpg&quot; height=&quot;111&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;Maui Real Estate Hawaii &quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt; It is estimated that around 50,000,000 plastic bags are distributed on the island of Maui each year, or approximately 300-350 per resident!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; While many of these bags are reused, they eventually end up in landfills where they are then carried off by strong winds and cause untold harm to marine life and the environment. The County of Maui spends nearly $200,000 per year to have them recollected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Most stores now offer reusable bags at their checkout counters for around $2/bag. Also many companies offer bags online that have been developed with customer convenience in mind, in an attempt to make reusable bags more user friendly. For example,&lt;a href=&quot;http://reusablebags.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ReusableBags.com&lt;/a&gt; offers the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.reusablebags.com/store/acme-bags%EF%BF%BD-workhorse-style-1501-black-mesh-p-906.html?osCsid=f1a8b13436d860f8bb1e1d1cf1e648a1&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ACME bags&lt;/a&gt; which fold up into pouches small enough to fit into most purses or totes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Please help keep Maui No Ka Oi and do your part to reduce the environmental hazard caused by plastic shopping bags.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Help sell your West Maui home by making a good first impression</title>
      <description>&lt;h1 style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mauihomesales.com/blog/Display/2008/01/Improving_the_Curb_Appeal_of_Your_Maui_Home&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Improving the Curb Appeal of Your Maui Real Estate&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;p&gt;First impressions are lasting impressions. This is particularly true when it comes to real estate. The &quot;Curb Appeal&quot; (or lack thereof) of your home could make the difference of someone coming inside to take a look around, or driving away and never looking back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mauihomesales.com/MauiRealEstate/Kaanapali/Homes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;If you're selling your home in Kaanapali, you'll want your &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mauihomesales.com/MauiRealEstate/Kaanapali/Homes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;West Maui property&lt;/a&gt; to have a great deal of curb appeal to attract as many prospective buyers as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mauihomesales.com/MauiRealEstate/Kaanapali/Homes.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/5/4/1/9/ar122072935191455.png&quot; height=&quot;229&quot; alt=&quot;Kaanapali Maui Homes, Hawaii Real Estate&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So how do you enhance your properties' curb appeal? Walk along the route your house is viewable by a passing motorist and take note of possible areas of improvement to your &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mauihomesales.com/MauiRealEstate/West_Maui_Properties.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;West Maui property&lt;/a&gt;. Here are a few basic tips to get you started in the right direction:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Spruce up your structure(s).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Manicure the lawn and landscaping. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Light it up.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For more information on improving the curb appeal of your West Maui home, feel free to &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:Robert@MauiHomeSales.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;e-mail&lt;/a&gt; or call me anytime at (808) 662-0003.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
