Randy:

Interesting how things varybut not surprising. We all know how local RE can beand this tells that story well. Hope things continue to improve for you. This is an informative summary.

Jeff

Seems the sales aren't to bad.  Looks like condos have held up better than houses.

Jeff - I just posted for Mililani, where my home and office is.  They look pretty good.

John - I think many buyers have been priced out of single family homes.

Aloha Randy, Thanks for the stats. SFRs in Hawaii require a lot of maintainance. As the population continues to age and taxes increase, I think many will prefer the simplicity and cost effectiveness of condo living. Peace,

Kimo - I see that pattern on the older segments of our population.  I also see if even more on first time buyers.  Condos are a great way to get in the market.

On Kauai the market is so small, that any given condo complex can greatly influence island-wide numbers. And when you review the stats, you don't know on the surface if the unit that sold was put into escrow last month, last year, or even two years ago in the case of a new development. To me, that's why you need to get the info from a local realtor, who has the experience and wisdom to tell the story behind the story of the numbers. The numbers by themselves may be misleading.

Aloha on Oahu to you Randy.

Ronnie - Extremely good points.  On Kauai they should look you up.  Congrats again on winning the Masters Centurion Award.
