By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sold on Kauai Realty RB-18142

Aloha,

It's been yet another gorgeous week here in Paradise. We lost our trades for awhile but fortunately they're back keeping us cool. Along with the great weather there's been an increase in buyers out there looking. I've had more showings of my listings as well as showing properties to my clients. We even had three units go into escrow this week. Read on to your update for this past week:

There are two new listings this week starting with Sandpiper 111 at $299K. This is the first time we've seen a Sandpiper drop down into the $200's. It was purchased in 2/03 for $215K. Also new this week is Hanalei Bay Villa 9, which sold very recently for $855K on 12/08. Even though the remarks describe how upgraded this unit is, it does not appear that it has been upgraded since it was purchased in December as evidenced by the fact that the current listing uses the exact same 10 photos that were used when the property sold previously. It is listed this time for a hefty $955K which is only a $100K increase from December.

The fractional shares of Villas of Kamali'i 20, which expired last week are back on the market along wtih Sealodge H1 which had been temporarily taken off the market. Kamali'i sold for $845K in 6/08 and Sealodge sold for $560K in 8/05.

Panilolo 202 is back in escrow after coming back on the market due to falling out of escrow on 5/20. Let's hope it stays in escrow this time. Sealodge J1 also went into escrow listed at $615K after 105 days on the market. This unit was previously listed from 6/08 to 1/09 starting at $729K and reducing to $615K on 12/24/08. It expired while listed at $615K but has obviously fared better this time listed at the same price. The Nihilani developer keeps plugging along selling their units with yet another one going into escrow this week. Unit 10A went into escrow listed at $650K and will undoubtedly close at the same price.

Cliffs 2109 closed this week at $275K with a list price of $325K which is a 15% price decrease. This unit sold for $183K in 11/02. The sale of this unit proves you can still make money in real estate if you do it the old fashioned way which was to hold on to it for more than 20 seconds!

Hanalei Bay Resort 1105/06, purchased for $495K in 12/07 and listed for $569K and Sealodge D9 listed for $997K were both withdrawn. Sandpiper 131, which sold for $110K in 4/01 was temporarily withdrawn listed at $350K.

Paniolo 103 is the first price change, going from $239,900 to $209,900. This unit was taken over by the bank on 1/09 but sold previously for $410K in 4/01. Cliffs 1206, purchased for $520K in 9/05 reduced from $310K to $275K. Hanalei Bay Resort N22 went from $349K to $339K and last sold in 1/06 for $469,900. Sealodge H1, purchased for $560K in 8/05 reduced from $509K to $498K. Ali'i Kai 10G, which sold for $129,500 in 6/89, made a very nice price reduction from $599K to $499K. Sealodge J8, which sold for $323K in 10/01, also made a healthy reduction from $728K to $625K. Pali Ke Kua 109 continues with it's $500 daily reduction and is at $839,400 as of the date of this update. Nihilani 10A, which went into escrow this week, came down from it's previously too high price of $765K to $650K as it went into escrow.

I mentioned seeing a green flash last week while watching the setting sun. Has anyone else been fortunate enough to see one? Not every night affords a green flash opportunity as there are here are often clouds along the horizon, as seen in the photos below of a sunset over the weekend.

Have a great week and don't forget to call or email if you want the facts before you buy or sell.
