Number of Homes sold for September 2008, Take a look at South Kona! Were talking about Kealakekua, Captain Cook, to Kona Paradise - 1, let me spell it out, ONE, sale for the entire month. There are 237 active listings and only one sale? Kailua Kona did quite a bit better than that - but still running at less than 50% of last years sales. Take a look at Waikoloa - Exactly the same as last year for Homes and Condos. Good job Waikoloa

If your looking for a buyers agent, in the West Hawaii area, get a hold of me. We can sit down and talk about these numbers and what it means for you.
