princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Jun 9th to Jun 15th - 06/16/13 12:25 PM
Aloha,
Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. Enjoy your special day. Things were a little quieter this past week with only one new condo listing and one new escrow. It was also on the lean side for residential with two new listings and one escrow, but hey, one is definitely better than none. Interest rates are on the way up, so if you’re a buyer looking to finance, you may want to check with your lenders. Here’s what happened this week just past:

Aloha,
Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers out there. It’s trying to be a sunny day on Kauai – here on the North Shore, but it’s only having mixed success. First rain, then a moment of sunshine, then more clouds – but we’ll see what the remainder of the day brings. There are several new listings this week and some new escrows. Surprisingly, there are no price changes this week.

Aloha,
I had several showings of my listings this past week, so it seemed busy to me, but in actual MLS status changes, it was as slow as I’ve seen in awhile. We didn’t even have any new listings this week, which is rare. Just one sale and a couple of price changes and that was it. Take a look for yourself:

Aloha,
It was another beautiful week with a brief period of showers this weekend. We were under a flash flood watch Saturday and told to expect heavy thunderstorms but escaped with minimal rain instead. Real estate has been keeping a steady pace, with houses even starting to move. A total of 21 properties Islandwide went into escrow while 37 closed escrow. Is the market moving? Yes, I think so.

princeville real estate: Kauai 2013 March Market Statistics - 04/02/13 06:29 PM
Aloha,
Despite doubts from the naysayers, I’m still of the opinion that things are on the upswing and will continue to go that way. Now that’s not to say that there won’t be plateaus and the occasional well priced foreclosure or short sales, but I am seeing more and more “regular” properties come on that are selling very well. This past Mar 13 had a total of 73 sales, which is a 9% increase over Mar 12 with 67. Going back 6 years, there was only one Mar which had more sales, a total of 75, which was Mar 11.

Aloha,
Happy Easter! Although it looks nice and sunny today, overall it was another wet, windy and c–o–l–d week. Ask anyone – temps in the mid 50′s at night is cold here. Throw in some gusty winds and driving rain and you’ll see us all in jeans, sweatshirts and jackets- big puffy jackets. Yes, we may be wimps be we’re warm wimps.
Overall, March held its own, with 73 sales compared to 67 for last March. There still may be a few that closed Friday but have not yet been recorded in the MLS. This past week was a little on … (0 comments)

princeville real estate: Kauai 2013 February Market Statistics - 03/06/13 05:51 PM
Aloha,
Feb 13 didn’t outperform Feb 12 in terms of number of sales, coming in with exactly the same number, which is 61. Residential was down slightly with 24 sales compared to 35 last Feb, while vacant land shot up from 6 to 13. Condos remained steady rising just one digit going from 20 in Feb 12 to 21 in Feb 13. Three commercial properties sold compared to none for last Feb. Within the last 6 years, only Feb 11 had more sales with 64 while the low was an amazingly low 26 in Feb 09 – so we are making … (0 comments)

Aloha,
We’ve continued to have a mixed bag of weather this week, at least up on the North Shore. My hubby was on the westside early in the week and he reported blue skies and sunshine. However, on this end it’s been a sun out, sun in, clouds, rain, blowing horizontal rain then sun out, sun in, etc throughout the day. Definitely cold too by Kauai standards. No, I don’t expect any sympathy given what is going on in the mainland but still – all the locals are bundled up in sweatshirts and jeans.
I’m not sure if it’s because of … (0 comments)

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update -plus a little more - for the week of Feb 3rd to Feb 9th - 02/10/13 01:07 PM
Aloha,
Valentines day is near and if you’re lucky enough to be on Kauai, there are many, many romantic/exciting things to do. First choice is often a nice restaurant. You have quite an assortment from the Dolphin Restaurant or Postcards in Hanalei, to Duke’s at Kalapaki Bay or Roy’s or the Beach House in the Poipu area. There are many great restaurants here but they book up quickly so don’t wait too long. If you like something more active, contact one of the activity desks and schedule a paddle/hike up the Wailua River which includes lunch at a beautiful waterfall, or … (0 comments)

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Nov 4th to Nov 10th - 11/11/12 11:54 AM
Aloha,
It was another busy week for condos, with three more going into escrow. As of today in Princeville condos, there are 14 units in escrow, only five of which that are priced above $299K. Across the board, I am seeing these low end well priced condos and homes going quickly into escrow. Buyers who need to sit on the side to think things over when a property comes on the market may ultimately find that the market has turned and they are still wishin’ and a hopin’ – take a look at last week’s activity:

Sometimes the best summer days are in November, at least you would think so based on the beautiful weather we’ve been having. It seems plenty of buyers thought so too, based on the number of closings and condos that went into escrow. Take a look:

Aloha,
This week has been one of the hotter ones – making for perfect beach days. We even had a swell come in over the weekend which made for great surfing. Mind you, I’m not a surfer so my comments are based on the number of surfers we saw in the water while out walking. There was )unfortunately for us) very little breeze which made for nice, clean waves – at least it looked that way from our vantage point overlooking the ocean between Pu’u Po’a and Pali Ke Kua.
I checked back on the September market statistics and they remained … (0 comments)

Residential sales saw a decrease in sales for Aug, down from 32 in 2011 to 25 this Aug. while land went from 7 to 9 sales and condos from 29 to 32 sales. The monthly statistic is an increase over past Augusts which only had 64 sales in 10, 44 in 09, 42 in … (0 comments)
