The weather can be quite unpredictable in Hawaii. While watching our local news on Monday evening we were ‘informed' that there were storm conditions and there will be thunder, lightning and heavy rains. We waited and the next morning it was a beautiful day! That evening the weather man said that ‘just because the storm isn't happening in your neighborhood doesn't mean it isn't in other's. We all laughed.
By Wednesday I gave up looking for the storm. .....and then in a matter of a couple of hours it poured! There it was...right in front of me. There was lightening, booming thunder and a downpour of heavy rain that confirmed that our weatherman was indeed telling the truth. In the next neighborhood over there was....NOTHING! I called my office and sure enough there wasn't a drop of anything going on!
Over the course of my career in Real Estate I have been through phases of the housing market. It went up and then it down and then it continues to go all around. While our market continues to make adjustments we see sales numbers rise and fall. We see the prices remain stable in certain areas while in others there is clearly a continued downfall.
The market differs from neighborhood to neighborhood!
Like our complicated weather system here in Hawaii, our market differs from nationwide statistics as well. We never know what the next month will bring for home sale numbers or sales prices but we can be rest assured that if we weather the storm we will be ready for the next phase in real estate.
A never ending neighborhood to neighborhood surprise of sunny, rainy or windy weather.
We brace ourselves with an umbrella for the next turn of rainy events...
And rise as the sun does on those tropical trade wind days.
