oceanfront: Maui County buys a big chunk of the North Shore for open space - 11/14/16 05:28 AM
 Maui County buys a big chunk of the North Shore in Haiku, and promises to make it open space for public use.  This is great news for people who want to watch the surfing and windsurfing action at the Jaws surf break in Peahi.  This location has been growing in popularity as more and more people want to challenge the famous waves.  These days, big wave surfing events are being held which really puts a spotlight on the location.  The amount of traffic that comes with an event is incredible, and it's not safe to drive down the rutted roads.  Currently … (4 comments)

oceanfront: What kind of noise annoys an oyster? - 10/11/16 09:29 AM
I never know what my dear old 94 year old dad will come up with next.  I was visiting him in Vancouver and we sat down to enjoy a plate of seafood with oysters, he piped up with this cute little rhyme from back in his past.  Now I've heard a lot of his stories and poems, and songs because those old memories have a way of sticking, but this one was completely new to me.  From now on I'll never see an oyster without thinking of this tongue twister.

oceanfront: Paia Maui HI real estate sales - what's new this month? - 09/20/16 09:25 AM
Paia Maui Hawaii 96779 - it's a small market, but it has some very high priced real estate. Currently the starter homes begin around $480,000 and the oceanfront listings start at $4,000,000 and go up over $21,000,000. 
Ocean and beachfront offerings make up about half of the real estate listings market, but not the selling market.  In the past 12 months, out of 38 closed residential sales only 5 were oceanfront totalling over $35,000,000.  While the number of oceanfront sales are low, the total dollar volume was more than half of the total dollar volume for all sales.

The first one in Kuau, is very close to the ocean, with a transformed old plantation house.  What a well thought out property, with a … (4 comments)

oceanfront: Oceanfront shoreline in Olowalu Maui HI - 04/17/16 11:21 AM
Olowalu Maui HI
Olowalu is an oceanfront community on Maui with a historically significant shoreline of sandy and rocky beaches.  All of the beaches in Hawaii are public access and it's common to see people beachcombing or fishing, even camping out by the water.  Beachfront properties sell at a premium and you can see why.
The coral reef off shore is known as one of the healthiest on the island and it's home to black tip reef sharks and manta rays.  Snorkeling the reef is a popular activity for Maui visitors and residents.
Olowalu was an agricultural area in ancient times when sandalwood … (2 comments)

Everyone loves to come back to Paia Maui once they've visited this cute little beach town on the north shore.  It's no wonder, with the beautiful sandy beaches, the cute plantation style buildings and shops, and lots of great restaurants too.

oceanfront: Not that many bank owned condos for sale on Maui - 03/16/16 09:13 AM
Not that many bank owned condos for sale on Maui
You would think there would be a lot of bank owned/REO condos in a resort area like Maui.  Considering there are thousands of condos, I'm surprised to see there are only a few REOs in our MLS.  There are probably still more coming, but for now this is what's available.
Currently there are only 16 of these bank owned foreclosure condominiums for sale, and 6 of those are under contract, leaving only 10 Active listings.

460 Hoolawa Road, Haiku Maui, gets some aerial photos and video
This beautiful oceanfront 2 acre lot in Huelo, Haiku Maui now has some great aerial shots and video to really showcase the location and the unique features.
Standing on the ground is great, but flying overhead is way better to grasp the scope of the scenery and surroundings.  The 2 acres is comprised of this fenced in pasture, and also the bit of land in front, at the top of the ocean bluffs.  There's a steep drop off there, about 200 feet straight down!  The waves roll in and crash in … (11 comments)

Hot new listings in Paia Maui Hawaii this month
Paia, Spreckelsville, Kuau - on Maui's north shore - is a pretty hot market for real estate sales. There's usually only 15-25 homes for sale, and maybe a condo or two. Vacant land is pretty rare in this area.  So to see 5 new residential listings come on the market already this month is quite special.

oceanfront: Napili Point oceanfront condos on the west side of Maui - 12/14/15 05:53 AM
Napili Point oceanfront condos on the west side of Maui offer some great fee simple and leasehold units with ocean and mountain views.  The great thing is that the lease payment is so minimal until 2046 that these vacation condos are priced well.

There's 115 apartments in 10 low-rise buildings on 5.3 acres.  This development was built in 1978 and has been a popular vacation destination since then. You can snorkel and swim in the calm waters of the bay, or just lounge … (2 comments)

Haiku Maui - new luxury listings offer some real surprises
Last week was the usual North Shore Maui Realtor Caravan, with lots of great new listings in Paia and Haiku featured and available to tour. We get together and visit the homes and properties as a way to preview for our clients.  It's fun to network and keep abreast of the real estate market.

Off the grid land sale in Haiku Maui HI - super good deal
Just last week (9/14/15) a really nice parcel of land sold in my neighborhood.  I've been waiting for it to close since I have clients in the same Ho'olawa Point subdivision and everyone wants to know the sale price.  After 3 months of suspense we now know that this 2.9 acres sold for only $445,300. 
What makes this lot so special?  There are only 5 lots in the Ho'olawa Point Subdivision, so it's a very exclusive oceanfront development.  A private well services all the lots with potable water.  The … (7 comments)
