hawaii real estate: Renting vs. Buying...that is the question! - 11/16/19 02:56 PM

· Looking at the percentage of income needed to rent a median-priced home today (27.7%) vs. the percentage needed to buy a median-priced home (17.5%), the choice is clear.
· Every market is different. Before you renew your lease, find out if you can put your housing costs to work by buying a home this year.
I often hear people weighing these 2 options and don't know where to start and how to calculate. These days … (2 comments)

hawaii real estate: You should pay attention... - 08/26/19 10:31 AM
You should PAY ATTENTION! If you are by any means considering to buy your next home the time is right. Money is cheap right now and believe or not the interest rates are down almost full point (1%) from November 2018! This can make or break the affordability. Todays rates match those from "downturn" . I know prices are higher but that is most likely not going to change anytime soon! I know we hear a lot of noise in the news however our market is solid, demand is there and consumer spending report is through the roof... So don't wait … (0 comments)

hawaii real estate: It's that kind of day... - 03/09/18 01:27 PM
Aloha Friday to you all! Yes...it's that kind of day. Even here on Maui we have a gloomy, cold(ish)days.
Not that I'm complaining but one of those days that's hard to get you going and all you want to do is binge watch tv with warm cup of coffee in your hand (hazelnut cream please).
