kauai: Land SOLD Kauai house lot - 11/16/17 01:35 AM
SOLD
Halemoi House Lot in Wailua Homesteads
 
Land is at a premium here on Kauai and today our clients closed on their dream lot, with plans in place for construction to start next week. After looking at several houses they decided to design one that is "just right" for their family.
We love to see those SOLD signs but most of all we love to see the big smiles on the faces of our clients when we help them make their dreams come true.

Happy Holidays from across the Pacific
 
Wishing you the gifts of loving family and friends
Today and in all you tomorrows.
It’s a balmy 73 degrees here on Kauai this morning. We are heading to the beach while our relatives on the mainland are taking kids sledding in the snow. Whatever part of the world you are in we wish you happiness and the good health to enjoy this holiday season.

kauai: Learn a little Hawaiian in this sing along video - 12/10/16 06:30 PM
The Hawaiian language is alive and well here in the islands. Most locals don’t speak it fluently but almost everyone will know the most common words and phrases. Even visitors pick up some basics like Aloha (hello, goodbye, love), Mahalo (thanks), Makai (toward the ocean) and Ono (delicious).
Here’s a fun video filmed at place I get my hair cut in Hanalei. It’s native Hawaiian teacher Tin Tin getting his nails done and singing the colors in Hawaiian.
Enjoy!

kauai: Kauai Property Tax, 2016 rates are still low for residents - 08/07/16 10:36 AM
Kauai property values are higher than the national average. But resident home ownwers here enjoy the lowest property tax in the USA.
That makes housing much more affordable that the sticker price implies for people moving from higher tax states like California and much of the USA.
Residents also get a home exemption that reduces your tax base, and that exemption increases for seniors to keep it affordable for those on fixed income. (Image courtesy of sscreations at FreeDigitalPhotos.net)
