Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Apr 1st to Apr 7th

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

Aloha,

Happy Easter to you. Our Kauai Easter is “dampened” with off and on driving rain, gusty winds and temps in the low 70′s. That’s chilly for those of you who are sitting there scratching your head wondering what the problem is. It’s all relative — and a matter of perspective. This was a busy week for condos with 5 going into escrow but very slow for houses. Take a look for yourself:

It was a pretty quiet week for houses but things will undoubtedly pick back up. Things seem to go in cycles – you’ll see several units in one condo complex sit for week after week, then suddenly they all seem to go into escrow at once. Or, as it the case now, everyone is snapping up condos with little attention seemingly going towards houses. As of today in Princeville, there are 33 condos and 7 houses in escrow. Islandwide, the result is quite different with 105 condos and 124 houses in escrow.

If you have any questions about these properties or any Kauai properties, please do not hesitate to email. That’s why I’m here – so you can get the facts before buying or selling. Happy Easter once again!

Aloha Elaine
