kailua kona: FICO: Short Sale no better than a Foreclosure - how deceiving is this headline!
- 04/27/11 03:15 PM
Although the impact to your credit score will be similar, your ability to become a Homeowner again, is dramatically different. As a professional we need to ask that bigger question. How long before your client will be able to buy a home again? I know they came in asking you, what effect the short sale will have on their FICO® scores, but they didn’t realize it is a lot more complicated than just their FICO® score, its up to you to explain the difference to them. Before you jump down to the charts supplied by the Banking Analytics Blog, I want

kailua kona: The Price of Paradise - Just went UP - Is Hawaii the first one to break $5.00 for Fuel Prices ?
- 04/06/11 07:59 AM
$5.05 a Gallon for Diesel on Molokai - WOW! Is Hawaii the first one to break the $5.00 barrier? . Take a look at this Chevron Sign. Currnet prices over on Molokai David Lettermans top 5 list, for Hawaii Gas Prices: 1. At least your not pumping it in the middle of an Ice-storm (made me realize I dont mind paying $5.05 - as long as I was warm) 2. You live on island - how many circles can you do in a day? (got me thinking, he's right) 3. Looks like were both getting a snow job -

Ok Kids, grab your boogy boards, and garden gloves - lets head to Mauna Kea. Kids here dont have snow gloves, or snow boards, we just take them down to the beach to thaw them out when were done.

- 04/01/11 09:52 AM
Still bucking the Real Estate Industry trend - 2011 vs 2010 - All 3 areas of sales, are up at least 20% according to the Hawaii MLS statistics. More interesting than that were last years numbers - Home sales 2010 over 2009 were up 75% - Condo Sales for the same time frame - up 100%. (land sales were down) And don't forget, we had Tsunami that closed business's down for a few days ($30,000,000.00 in damages) , we had a 4.9 earthquake, and we had a Major Lava eruption - all part of the charm of living on a Volcanic

kailua kona: Tsunami Fundraiser - Help needed right here at home.
- 03/17/11 07:12 AM
Few people know the extent of the damage in Hawaii, caused by last weeks Tsunami. But one man in particular had his entire home swept out to sea. It could be seen for hours floating around in Kealakekua Bay, it just seemed so unnatural seeing a House floating in the Bay??? To make matters worse, he had recently been laid off from work, and was on Oahu undergoing his first round of chemotherapy - cant imagine the nightmare of even going through chemo, let alone going through chemo, expecting to come home, to your own bed, your own kitchen, your own

- 03/14/11 09:38 AM
This is a re-post from the Hawaii Insider, I felt it was such a good, positive, take on the recovery, it was important to get the news out! Thank you to Jeanne Cooper of SFGate.com/Hawaii - for giving me permission to post this. Updated March 20: Kailua-Kona will celebrate its relatively rapid recovery from the March 11 tsunami today with several significant events: the Kokua Kailua Village Stroll street fair from 1 to 6 p.m. on Ali'i Drive, accompanied by a free concert at Hulihe'e Palace, and the resumption of the Island Breeze Lu'au in the formal gardens at King Kamehameha's Kona Beach
