market reports: 2019 Will Be a Great Year for Buyers AND Sellers - 02/19/19 10:49 AM
  Many homeowners believe that rising interest rates and home prices have scared away buyers and therefore have not listed their houses for sale. However, the truth is that buyers who were unable to find a home last year are out in force, and there are even more coming!
NerdWallet’s 2018 Home Buyer Report revealed that:
“Approximately one-third (32%) of Americans plan to purchase a home in the next five years. Millennials are most likely to have such a purchase in their five-year plan (49%), versus 35% of Generation X and 17% of baby boomers.”
As we can see, buyers are optimistic! According to the report, here … (1 comments)

Buyer Demand Exceeds Housing Supply, this is an easy one to talk about. 
I woke up this morning knowing I should write a blog before I head out the door, but what was it going to be on? So I decided to make some Kona Coffee, and read my email ------  Like angels coming down from the clouds, there it was, this info-graphic on how housing supply is low, and demand is high - great topic. Well to make my job even easier, a few emails down, was a comment on an a 6 year old blog of mine. So curiosity got the … (3 comments)

market reports: Kailua Kona Real Estate Report for January 2015 - 02/10/15 03:37 AM
Aloha, Lance Owens (RS) with LUVA Real Estate, bringing you the Kailua Kona Real Estate Report for 2015. 
According to the Hawaii Information Service (MLS), North Kona home sales, January 2015, increased by 28% over 2014

If you were to read reports by Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo and others, you might think that 2015 numbers will make 2007 look like 2013. Did that make any sense? Probably not, because I am still scratching my head. (Dennis Hopper – Flashback)

market reports: Kailua Kona Real Estate Report: November 2013, number sold: UP 72% - 12/13/13 04:42 AM
Aloha, Lance Owens here with LUVA Real Estate and the November MLS reports are complete.

  To no surprise November numbers are up
 Homes Sold: Up by 72% over last year. If you follow my report you  know that October was a strange month, numbers were down, but the  market was busy - this kind of explains it, we had a few carry overs  that posted for November. Taking a look at Year To Date (YTD)  numbers we are up 18%, which suggests that we are in a good,  strong, upward market. 
 
 
Any guess on what year … (3 comments)

market reports: Craigslist Change causes Mass Hysteria. Internet Marketers Must Adapt - 11/12/13 11:09 AM
 
Thank you for some great information, (see below my  comment)
This  is  my favorite part  of ActiveRain , Members helping members for no good reason at all - just random acts of kindness. 
I have said for years that something needs to be done, I always thought maybe a $1.00 per add, just to keep the spammers/scammers out, and legit information in. It would also help in tracking down the bad people through credit card charges. 
Lets just  hope its nowhere near the $25.00 you talk about.

market reports: Sneak preview of an upcoming listing - Lokahi Makai - Kailua Kona, Hawaii - 02/09/12 06:04 AM
In the process of listing a home in Lokahi Makai subdivision in Kailua Kona, Hawaii. I don't know how familiar you are with these "Cooperative Short Sales" and Bank of America, but they are a pretty good deal. We've done a few of these and what happens is, the bank sends an appraiser over. they do a full on Appraisal - not a BPO (if your not familiar with these terms, please give me a call and I can bring you up to speed). Then they determine a fair market value on the property - and "wham" we got a great … (0 comments)

market reports: Big Island of Hawaii - Condo Sales Shatter National Trend, May 2011 vs May 2010 - 06/02/11 07:40 AM
The Big Island of Hawaii keeps shattering the national trend when it comes to number of sales. We had a little stumble in April, but as suspected, I think it had to do with the Japan Earthquake, The Tsunami that closed business's on the Big Island (over $30,000,000.00 in damages) , and the new Lava flow that grabbed national attention (I guess they didn'trealize the Lava has been flowing for 30 years now) Anyway, lets take a look at the numbers. 
Big Island Condo Sales: May 11, May 10 - Up 10.91%    Year to Date (YTD) up 26.27%

market reports: Hawaii Home sales off for July - first time in 15 months there has been a dip in sales - Kailua Kona, Hawaii - 08/04/10 09:17 AM
Hawaii MLS market reports
Kailua Kona Real Estate has been on the recovery for over a year now and this is the first time in 15 months that I have not seen the number of homes sold, not surpass last years sales. In fact most of the last 15 months seen increases that surpassed, 2009, 2008, and 2007. Don't panic just yet though, June had a huge increase - stealing some of the closings that would have happened in July. I attribute this to the rush of last minute buyers that wanted the tax credit. You would think the government would have … (0 comments)

market reports: Kailua Kona Market Report - February continues the 10 month trend of rising sales - in fact Condo sales jumped a drastic 200% over last year - 03/06/10 07:15 AM
 
If you have been following my blog you already know that Kailua Kona sales have been steadily increasing for 10 months straight now - in fact many of these months, home sales have actually been better than 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006. And from a personal standpoint - only 1 of the 16 sales I have closed in the past 12 months took advantage of the Tax Credit, so don't believe the hype that- this was the fuel for the fire.  I believe we have actually turned around, as far as the numbers of sales go. Now as far as … (0 comments)
