Aloha,
Happy Easter! Although it looks nice and sunny today, overall it was another wet, windy and c–o–l–d week. Ask anyone – temps in the mid 50′s at night is cold here. Throw in some gusty winds and driving rain and you’ll see us all in jeans, sweatshirts and jackets- big puffy jackets. Yes, we may be wimps be we’re warm wimps.
Overall, March held its own, with 73 sales compared to 67 for last March. There still may be a few that closed Friday but have not yet been recorded in the MLS. This past week was a little on the slow side, perhaps due to the weather or the fact that it was Easter week. There were several new condo listings, only one sale, and surprisingly, not even one price reduction in either condos or homes. Take a look for yourself:

Year to date, there have been 183 sales compared to 191 this time last year but I’m convinced we’ll more than catch up and surpass that number as the months go by. If you are hoping to purchase your piece of paradise, the best thing you can do is to get prequalified with a local lender.
The good properties go fast and if you’re not sure of your financial ability and don’t have financing in place, you could lose out to a more prepared buyer. If you need help negotiating the buying or selling process, or have any questions about these or any other properties, you know who to ask. Just email me, that’s why I’m here – so you have the facts before buying or selling.
Enjoy your beautiful Easter Sunday.
Aloha Elaine
Here’s a real Easter “peep” for you. I may have forgotten to mention Kauai has wild chickens all over the Island. This little peep was running to catch up with the mother hen.
