oceanfront: Speechless Sunday - crispy whole fish at Mama's Fish House - 09/30/18 08:09 PM
This crispy whole fish at Mama's Fish House was a special of the day a few weeks ago, and was it ever delicious! With the side of Asian style veggies and coconut rice, it really was too much food - and that doesn't happen often for me.

Apparently the trout are raised on a farm in upcountry Maui, in Kula.  I had no idea!  Perhaps a visit to the fish farm is in order.

oceanfront: 460 Hoolawa Rd. updated video - Maui oceanfront vacant lot - 09/17/18 08:42 PM
460 Hoolawa Rd. Haiku Maui oceanfront offering listed for $1,395,000
Million Dollar Views:  This beautiful oceanfront lot just got an updated video tour on Vimeo so I want to show it off. Every day you can see crashing waves roll in from the cliff top and savor the ocean breezes. Watch whales in the winter months, and look for seabirds soaring overhead. Marvel at the big blue Pacific Ocean that stretches out as far as you can see.
Each oceanfront lot can build a large main house, and a cottage up to 1,000 square feet since the agricultural zoning allows for 2 dwellings … (3 comments)

oceanfront: Weather the storms with an off-grid home on Maui - 08/28/18 06:34 PM
Survive a tropical storm or hurricane with an off-grid home on Maui - and come out smiling.
Disclaimer - it's not about building materials, but more about lifestyle.
During this past Hurricane Lane event that happened in Hawaii in August, it was a good feeling knowing we were completely prepared in so many ways.  Strong winds knocked down trees, which knocked down power lines, causing loss of electricity for thousands of homes. In at least one location a water line was busted when the roadway collapsed, resulting in no water service to a number of homes in Haiku.  Power and water loss are … (3 comments)

oceanfront: Can I sell my Maui vacation condo in 15 days? - 08/20/18 01:19 AM
"I want to sell my Maui condo in 15 days - do you want to list it?"
That's what the seller said when he contacted me 14 days ago.  This is a condo that was just bought earlier this year, in a great oceanfront location in Kihei Maui - Luana Kai Resort.  It should be easy to sell fast, right? 
In this case yes it could be sold fast...  a prime Maui beachfront unit in a beautiful location. Solid short-term rental bookings with good rental income. Motivated seller.  Let's do it!
 
OK, what's it going to take to get this condo sold?

oceanfront: Maui real estate market random stats for July 25 2018 - 07/25/18 05:58 PM
As I'm updating some links on my eastmaui.com website today I'm noticing the active and pending listings in the different parts of Maui, Hawaii.  A few random statistics caught my eye and it's interesting to see that the oceanfront segment of the market has a lot of inventory but very few properties under contract.  It appears to be the toughest selling category, but this report does not include condos which is a whole different market. 
VACANT LAND:
Haiku has 33 listings of vacant land priced from $350,000 to $12,000,000 and only 3 are pending, priced from $360,000 to $479,500 Wailea has … (8 comments)

Have you ever tried one of those Brazilian Steakhouse events that are becoming popular these days?  The Four Seasons Resort in Wailea Maui is now offering this on Friday nights, at their Duo Steak and Seafood Restaurant at the pool level.  I had the opportunity to try it out with a group of YELPers.  It's indoor/outdor seating with a view of the pool and the sunset, in an oceanfront setting.  We were treated royally, as you would expect from a 5-star hotel on Maui.

Canada Geese love English Bay in Vancouver B.C.
I'm spending some time up in Vancouver B.C. Canada and the weather has been so great for taking walks along the shore in English Bay.  This is a very beautiful and scenic part of Canada, on the west coast, with the ocean and snow capped mountains dominating the natural landscape.  The cityscape is something else to see, with towering high rises, harbors and bridges, old and new architecture.  It's a dynamic and busy place.

A quick condo sale in Kihei Maui makes my weekend!
I'm not usually one to brag about my sales, but this was a really quick one by Maui standards.  With only 2 opportunities to show the unit, due to heavy bookings, it was amazing it went under contract so quickly and sold in just 65 days.  It could have been quicker but there were some delays due to buyer and seller being on the mainland and both were doing 1031 exchanges.

Haiku Maui HI 96708 - vacant land market update Feb 2018
Here's a quick report of the real estate market activity in my part of the island, Haiku. It covers a large area and there is so much diversity that it's really hard to make any comparisons, but if you follow the market you might find some interesting bits. At this point, it looks like sales volume is up from last year, and maybe even prices are up. Obviously there is a lot of inventory of large parcels and expensive parcels.  If you can afford these prices, there are some really great … (4 comments)

Sammy Hagar's Maui oceanfront home sells - $3,100,000
While I'm on the topic of celebrity real estate on Maui (see previous blog post about the Maui Brando Estate), it's notable that the oceanfront property of Sammy Hagar just closed a few days ago after being on and off the market for many years. $3,100,000 seems like a pretty good price for 9.8 oceanfront acres with a house and cottage, swimming pool and cabana, a well and solar power system!  This is the kind of property where you can be self sustaining.
