Aloha,
This week the hot commodity was a two bedroom Hale Honu, unit 5A; a foreclosure priced at $201,500. It caused quite a stir the first time it hit the market last September but was withdrawn from the market before going into escrow. It came back on this past week and went quickly into escrow along with a Hanalei Bay Resort unit. Take a look for yourself:

New Listings / Under Contract / Withdrawn:
5020 Emmalani shows up three times on this weeks report – once a new listing showing as being under contract, where you’ll also see it listed, and also under “withdrawn.” This home came on the market priced at $705 in 4/13, went into escrow a few days later, than was reduced to $565K in 7/13. It’s not unusual to see a price change during escrow of a short sale as the bank and buyer come to terms on the price. However, this escrow never closed and instead shows as withdrawn on 1/15/14, only to appear as a new listing under contract shortly thereafter. Hard to say exactly what went on but trust me, you never know what’s going on with a short sale.
Contingent:
4120 Liholiho sold in 11/11 for $639K and went into escrow this week with a list price of $945K. So how do you think the market is doing?
That’s it for Princeville home sales this week.
We had very relaxing massages at Touch of Kauai located above the Bank of Hawaii at the Princeville Center this past Saturday. They offer 15% Kama’aina discount which is nice. I also found a new art gallery located around the corner from the Princeville Wine Market. I didn’t have time to check it out yet but will in the future. If you haven’t been to the Princeville Center lately, make a point to visit sometime soon. There’s quite a few boutique shops and several great restaurants with something for everyone.
As of today, Sunday, there have been 37 sales Islandwide, however, there have already been 7 condo sales in the “Hanalei Zone” (which includes Princeville) compared to a total of 3 for last January so we're already ahead of the game. As for residential, last January in the Hanalei Zone there were 5 sales for the month. We only have one as of today. Will we surpass last January’s totals? There are 208 properties in escrow or under contract Island wide so I am betting that we will. Any real estate questions? Please text or email. That’s why I’m here. So you get the facts before buying or selling.
Aloha Elaine
We have a new home going up in the neighborhood. Just looks like a normal house…
Until you realize the location is the best lot in all of Princeville!
Waves are crashing at the foot of the bluff.
This will be their sunset view every night. I understand it will be a vacation rental. Ready to book?
