Hau'oli Makahiki Hou! In other words, Happy New Year. We've been having a pretty wet winter so far, at least up here on the North Shore. It's fun to watch wave after wave of rain come in off the ocean. It's almost like it's prepackaged. You see it coming, then you hear it travel over the condo roof, and finally you can watch it move across the parking lot from the back lanai. Or, it may come the opposite direction from the mountains out to the sea. Either way, we're getting more than our share of wet weather.
2009 ushers in a new year for Real Estate, one which I think will make many buyers very happy. Sellers may still have to come to terms with pricing but for those that are willing to price attractively, the buyers will come. On to your update:

The next new listing is Sealodge B10 listed for $567K and purchased for $530K in 4/05. For some reason, it shows as entered twice into the MLS with identical information. Not sure why. There's quite a price range in the Sealodge units currently on the market:

Take note of the second unit, J6, that was listed at $925K for a whopping 657 days before coming down to $695K to make the sale. There are no Sealodge units currently in escrow.
Several units are back on the market after expiring. Ali'i Kai 9G, which last sold for $151K in 12/99 came back on the market at the same price it was before. This unit reduced to $450K on 6/08 and was on the market for over 996 days. Hale Moi 106 has a purchase price of $485K in 10/05 and came back on the market at $325K down from $524K. It was immediately increased to $450K which is what you'll see in the price change section of this report. Cliffs 7305 is back on the market at $795K and last sold for $242K in 8/00. Hanalei Bay Resort sold for $950K in 6/08 and is back on the market at $1.125M. When the current owners bought this unit, it was originally priced at $1.350M in 1/08, reduced to $1.2M in 3/08, then to $995K in 5/08 after which it went into escrow 7 days later. It closed at $950K. Now they are asking someone to pay that which they themselves would not pay just 6 months ago.
Several other units expired this past week: Emmalani Court 412, taken over as a bank REO, was purchased in 2/06 for $775K. It shows the bank took it over showing a loan amount of $726,577 in 8/08. Ka'eo Kai 4B, purchased in 6/06 for $635K expired listed at $570K. Ali'i Kai 5101, purchased for $595K in 5/04 expired listed at $849K. The next two expired units are new construction and were listed at $1.495 for Orchid Point unit A and $1.525M for Orchid Point Unit B. Our final expiration is Pu'u Poa 309 which was listed at $2.245M and purchased for $1,730,338 in 9/05.
Hale Moi 214, purchased for $606,500 in 5/06 was withdrawn from the market after 154 market days, listed at $439K. Sandpiper 217, listed at $499K and purchased for $310K in 2/04 was withdrawn after only 72 market days while Emmalani Court 224 was only on the market 65 days when it was withdrawn listed at $570K. This unit last sold for $670K in 4/05.
On to your favorite section: Price changes. Sandpiper 107, which sold for $365K in 9/04 reduced from $399K to $329K. Hale Moi 106 was discussed under "back on the market" - it went from $325K to $450K. Ali'i Kai 14G reduced from $499,999 to $489,999. This unit sold for $583K in 8/05. Cliffs 5205, went from $600K to $525K (now that's what I call a price reduction) and last sold in 6/05 for $600K. Emmalani Court 525, purchased for $400K in 1/03 went from $574,900 to $549,900. Ali'i Kai 7101 reduced from $719K to $699K and sold for $625K in 4/07. Our final reduction is Pu'u Poa 405, a top floor unit, which reduced from $1.590M to $1.350K and sold for $430K (remember those days?) in 1/00.

This last house, Nalani Lane, has been listed as high as $975K in 11/05 and has pretty much been on the market since that time. This recent reduction was just to get it back on the update list again as it only reduced $1000 from $630K to $629K. That's it for this week. Again, I wish you a very Happy New Year filled with the real estate of your dreams (whether you are buying or selling) happiness, health and prosperity. Please remember to call or email when you are ready to buy or sell to get the facts and all the background.
