Looking out from Kauai's Waikapala'e Cave, home of the famous "Blue Room". The cave has a "lake" and a short swim to the right-rear leads to the Blue Room.

kauairockscom: Kauai Sales Results for April
- 05/07/09 07:49 PM
Kauai Sales Statistics For April 2009 Kauai home sales statistics have been released for the month of April 2009. The figures are island-wide comparisons of current sales versus year ago sales. Today's high-anxiety environment will drive some to look at data draw conclusions which may or may not be valid. In my experience, monthly values fluctuate widely and I've always preferred to use year-to-date data to average out the fluctuations. Now that we have several months under our belt, year-to-date is becomming meaningful. The fact that current-month figures are better than year to date coincides with personal observations of agents which … (2 comments)
kauairockscom: Sheryl Crow on Maui
- 05/01/09 06:36 AM
Once again Maui was privileged to have a live concert at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center (MACC). This time is was Sherly Crow with a live performance that was "outta sight"! Hawaii continues to be a favored destination by entertainers and those of us living here benefit by having a place for them to perform. Having lived on the East Coast for many years, I can attest to another benefit which is that access is easy and crowds quickly dissipate afterward. The performers were set up under a tent with the audience sitting outside under the stars, a crescent moon, … (4 comments)
kauairockscom: Kauai Sales Are Picking Up
- 04/27/09 10:06 PM
With nearly 4 months of data for 2009 it appears that Kauai real estate sales are on an upswing. A chart of historical sales for residential, condo, and land sales shows that total number of sales peaked in 2005/2006 and then began a steady decline that lasted through 2008. As the polynomial trendline shows, there has been an upswing for the first 4 months of 2009. This trend suggests that it may be time for buyers sitting on the sidelines to contact their Realtor because prices normally follow sales.

kauairockscom: Kauai & Maui Chocolates
- 04/14/09 05:52 AM
I hope I'm not alone in still savoring a delicious Chocolate Easter bunny. Any excuse for chocolate will do but a solid chocolate Easter bunny is hard to beat. Most of us know about the famous Godiva Chocolates and Ghiradelli Chocolates. Hawaii has its own specialty chocolatiers right here on Kauai and on Maui. Kauai The Kauai Chocolate Company is located at Port Allen on the West side of the island. They make their own chocolate and it is quite delicious. At one time they made fudge which was one of my favorites but I'm not sure that is still available. Their website is … (3 comments)
kauairockscom: Kauai & Maui First Quarter Sales
- 04/13/09 12:52 PM
March sales statistics are now available for both Maui and Kauai. Both markets have seen sharp declines in both median sales price and number of sales for the current year compared to the same period in 2008. As always, I caution that median sales price is heavily influenced by what price category is selling and does not necessarily represent changes in values of an individual property. On Kauai, the "hot" category is homes in the $250,000 to $500,000 range so it is no surprise that the median sales price falls within that range. Here is the year-to-date (YTD) data through March … (2 comments)
kauairockscom: Kauai REO Properties--How Big A Share?
- 04/13/09 07:35 AM
With all the talk about abandoned homes and bank-owned properties (known as REO's) across the nation, I was curious about the impact of this on Kauai. With no good source of detailed REO information. I decided to do a little research. How many Kauai REO's are out there? First of all, the current issue of Pacific News published information obtained from Title Guaranty Escrow Services suggesting that there are "at least 334 bank-owned houses and condominiums in Hawaii - the majority on Oahu, with 141, and the Big Island, with 108". According to my math, that leaves 85 REO's apportioned between Kauai … (2 comments)
kauairockscom: Hilton Kauai Beach Resort Bulk-Sale Auction
- 04/13/09 06:37 AM
It has been announced that a bulk-sale public auction of developer units of the Hilton Kauai Beach Resort will be held May 6 at the Lihue 5th Circuit courthouse steps. 145 condotel units and 15 commercial units are to be sold to the highest bidder in a foreclosure process initiated by lender iStar Financial. The sale does not include the 200 plus units purchased by other individuals. The developer bought the hotel in 2004 and began the process of converting it into individually-owned rooms (a condo-tel) in 2005. Owner resale of these units has taken a major hit in the housing … (0 comments)
