Before you get all excited and think there are actually condos for sale on Kauai for $95K, I want you to know that these are hotel room conversions. In other words, you are buying a renovated hotel room with no kitchen and about 300+ square feet in a resort setting for that price. As for Sun Village at $180K, that is a leasehold development for those 55 and older only. For the complete May 2009 statistics, please click here to go to my website where they are posted. As always, I'm here for you with the facts. Just call or email.
