I was surprised to see that report today.  September showed us with the largest price increases in the nation for the previous 12 months.

Thanks Randy, I have to admit when I opened the Stat Report, I did a double take.   This could be a seasonal thing as November, December and January have a tendency to be a bit funny sometimes.   Jerry

Greetings from a fellow RE/MAX agent at the opposite side of the US in Stafford County, Virginia. The market is very challenging here, as well.

Hi Kenny; I think you guys are having a harder problem than we are.   This turn though put a spin on the situation that I had to think thru when I looked at the stats this morning.   Thought I would share my observations on Active Rain with everyone in Hawaii most particularly, but it pleases me to hear from another RE/MAX Office.   We had a great presentation here last month by David Linigar and Margaret Kelly.  It was absolutely GREAT to have them in Honolulu.   It was a first for them.   Jerry

It seems that selles are going to have to come down in their prices.  We have the same situation here.  Sellers that want to get what they could have gotten for their house a year or two ago.  Unfortunately, it's not the same market.

I guess the silver lining for you.... you're in Hawaii!!  Isn't everything just better?

Martin,  I was speaking today with a Commercial Property Manager and we talked about two wild cards:  1)  What is the government (FED) going to do with interest rates?  2)  How long is it going to take before the international community figures out how much they can buy with their highly valued currencies!   All that said, Hawaii is still Paradise, although we had some really tough winds here last night.   Hmmmm?   Jerry
