Both these lots are zones M-1 for light commercial.  The two lots almost equal an acre of flat usable land. … (0 comments)

maui real estate for sale: Sunrise experience with Maui Turtles! - 07/09/08 01:36 PM
I had to get ready for the morning session at The Grand Wailea Hotel and Spa. Every once in a while I work in the lobby selling these incredible town-homes in Wailea called Hoolei.  They are luxury townhomes right across form the Grand Wailea. so I had a couple free hours in the morning so I grabed  my stand up surfboard and headed to Hookipa on the north shore.  It was a really glassy morning and there were only a couple people out in the water.
                              Looking for turtle
So I paddled over to the Pavilions break to see if any … (4 comments)

maui real estate for sale: It's finally raining on Maui! - 07/08/08 09:35 AM
It's finally raining in Maui!
 
I am sitting at the up desk in The shops at Wailea at our main office at The Wailea Group .I look up and it is just pouring rain. It has been really dry for months.  Wailea is actually desert area but with all the irrigation it is always lush and green.  With five world class golf courses they are kept in top shape and looking good it reminds me of sound of music with the rolling green hills. Actually in the evening you will some times see deer coming down to the golf courses … (6 comments)

maui real estate for sale: Hawaiian Volcano is active! - 07/06/08 09:52 AM
There she blows Hawaiian Volcano!
 
On the Big Island the Hawaiian Volcano is spewing lava. Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano is on the move. The Hawaiian volcano Observatory reported it is flowing from Nov 12th from a new outbreak.  The Halemaumau vent near Kileauea's Summit is spreading ash and levels of sulfur Dioxide. The Volcano gas is called Vog and is a problem for people with Respiratory problems. Lucky for Maui the Vog is headed south west. With the trade winds it is carried in another direction. I guess you could say that real estate is expanding on the Big Island.

maui real estate for sale: Day Off For the 4th of July on Maui - 07/05/08 09:16 AM
I was so stoked to have the day off work on the 4th. It seems like we are working harder to make less with the current market. I have talk to a lot of agents that are dead in the water. We have had slow markets before so this is nothing new. We just need to be on top of our game more. I also have found that I need to let things go that are out of our control and  just God more.

So I have the day off and I went to Kahana with my wife and went windsurfing. … (0 comments)

maui real estate for sale: Maui Air line Travel! - 07/01/08 12:22 PM
High Airfares off set by Hotel packages!
 
So what I keep hearing is that the airfare is way high and travelers are not taking to the skies as they usually do. So this does have a dramatic effect on the tourist industry and will eventually trickle down in resort communities. I do see a ray of hope. There is nothing like a little competition to get things moving.  I work in Wailea Maui Hawaii and what I am hearing is hotels like the Four-Seasons and Grand Wailea are offering packages to get families traveling again.
With hotels offering 5 nights … (0 comments)

Ten things to consider doing for a better quality of life.
 
A good friend of mine is going through cancer treatment. He is in stage four of Pancreas cancer. The thing that amazes me about my friend is his love of life and extremely positive attitude. So he emailed me a top ten list that I wanted to share to encourage others as it has encouraged me. You can come up with your own list but here is Rene's list.
1. Walk 30 minutes everyday and walk with a smile.
2. When you wake up each day ask yourself what … (6 comments)

maui real estate for sale: California Visit! - 06/24/08 01:41 PM
California Visit!
 
I just took a week off to go to my Daughters graduation at FIDM design school in downtown L.A.  The weather was over 100 degrees which is really nice if you are in a pool or at the beach. Lucky for me I had a chance to surf some over head waves in the North San Diego area. You have to love California when the weather is nice and blue skies and the ocean has that deep blue hue to it. What was really nice were the pods of dolphins that were abundant in the surf. You get … (2 comments)

maui real estate for sale: Higher interest rates and the market! - 06/16/08 06:43 PM
How will current interest rates affect the real estate market? It looks like the Feds are going to raise the 30 year loan to 6.38%.  They were saying that it most likely will not becoming down any time soon.  So the window for low interest rates looks like they are over. The reason the Federal Reserve Chairman gave for the increase rate is to cut off inflation.  So how will this affect an already slow real estate market? To compensate for higher rates I believe we will see a lowering of house values if real estate is going to sell.

MAUI REAL ESTATE MARKET WILL SURVIVE!!!!
 
What is happening in the Maui real estate market? I do believe we are different from a lot of the mainland market problems. Maui has always been a destination for people looking for sun and great beaches. The upper end of the market will not slow down but will survive.  Higher airline tickets will not make a difference to the wealthy. They will be purchasing new homes and condos.  With those purchases they will be doing a lot of remodel work. Tearing out the old lime stone floors and installing new wood or granite … (4 comments)

I love it. My daughter gave me the sound track CD from the movie No Reservation.  I love the music and if you like Italian music this is a must for cooking or a quiet evening with someone special( my wife). On the other hand my daughter gave me the Best of the Beverly Hill Billies CD  I grew up with Jed, Ellie May and Granny.

maui real estate for sale: Is America for sale? - 06/12/08 09:26 AM
There was a story I was looking at on the Drudge report yesterday. It looks like with the weak dollar foreign money is pouring in to our country. European travelers have been spending a of money for I- Phones to luxury condos in America. The newest sale was a majority share of Manhattan's historic Flatiron Building. It was the tallest building in New York in 1902 with 22-stories.  Located on Fifth Avenue, Broadway and 23 St.  It was purchased by A top Italian real estate investor.  I also believe that the Crystler Building was also purchased by a company from the middle … (8 comments)

Kauai Shark Attack victim Bethany Hamilton!
I never met Bethany but I can say this is one courageous girl.  At the age of 13 she was surfing a break with her friends called tunnels on Kauai which is a break that breaks pretty far out to sea. I know this for a fact because I have surfed out there myself.  She was attacked by a 12ft Tiger Shark that rip of her arm.  That is where the story really begins.  Today she was featured in Honolulu Advertiser about her amazing story. Five years later she is trying to qualify for the … (4 comments)

maui real estate for sale: Maui rain fall down! - 05/30/08 05:59 AM
Headed towards a drought on Maui!

 
Since last December and January the rain fall has been pretty low. My grass is pretty brown and I live on the rainy side of the island. U.S. Senator Daniel Akaka said that he would support the purchase of land and the establishment of 300 million gallon new reservoirs.
That would really help the housing situation being that they have not been issuing new water meters up country.  Water has always been a problem on Maui.  So let's pray for rain, but mean while the weather is great.
