Princeville condo (and house) update for the week of July 20th to 26th - 07/27/08 09:48 PM
Aloha,
This week I am sending an abbreviated form of the update as I am on the mainland on vacation. Not only that, but I am traveling throughout WA, MT, ID and SD seeing the sights from the back of a motorcycle. Of course, packed on the back of the bike is my laptop and my phone is in my pocket. Believe it or not, I have coordinated several showings, kepts a couple of escrows running and just submitted an offer. It's simply amazing what technology can help you to accomplish these days.
So please bear with me this week - … (0 comments)

For a good buy on a Princeville condo go to- - 07/24/08 06:56 PM
Buyers are always looking for good value and right now my finger is pointed in the direction of Nihilani. It appears that many owners went ito the project thinking they could sell for more once they took possession of their units. I say this because there are so many currently listed well below what the seller paid. Why would they be trying to sell them now, in this market, if money were not an issue? Clearly, there is more than one seller looking to get out from under a mortgage at any price which makes it an excellent place to look … (0 comments)

Princeville condo (and house) update for the week of July 13th to 19th - 07/19/08 09:40 PM
Aloha,
It's been another great week here in Paradise with beautiful blue skies and nice strong trade winds. You probably get tired of hearing that but I must admit, I don't get tired of saying it. Some people think that because we are in Hawaii in the tropics, that our temperatures are in the 90's but that is not the case. We really do have close to perfect weather here with our summer temperatures staying comfortably in the 80's. And if you do get a muggy day or two when the trades die, just head for one of our many uncrowded … (0 comments)

Aloha,
Here we are in July already, in fact, it feels like July is almost over and we're heading into August! Before we get too far into July, I wanted to get your market statistics for June out to you.

The buy of the day is a Nihilani at $589K! - 07/15/08 08:00 PM
Aloha,
If you've been reading my blog for any time now, you know I am always talking about sellers who need to come to terms with the buyer's market and price accordingly. Well guess what, the owner / agent of Nihilani 27B has done just that, reducing today from $669K to $589K after only 10 days on the market. This unit sold for $682,180 in 10/06 and is now a short sale, subject to lender approval.
This is the Hoku floor plan, which is what I have. The original consisted of 1 bed / 1 bath and a family room downstairs, … (0 comments)

Cliffs Trail in Kokee yields outstanding views! - 07/09/08 11:19 PM
Aloha,
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of hiking Cliffs Trail in Kokee. This is a short, easy trail leading to an overlook of Waimea Canyon. If you don't have 4-wheel drive, you can start at the Halemanu trailhead right off Koke'e Road, walk down the dirt Halemanu Road, and end at the Cliff Trail overlook, for a pleasant two hour round-trip stroll. Halemanu Road is pretty rutted and narrow so we chose to park at the top and walk down. Besides extending this relatively short hike, it also gave us the opportunity to admire and photograph several … (0 comments)
