real estate inventory: Kauai Absorption Rate For March 2012
- 03/16/12 09:49 AM
The inventory picture continues to improve on Kauai. At one time all areas of the island had a supply of homes well into the undesirable "red" zones, now there are many that are approaching a balanced market. The Central/Lihue market continues to be the best performing. Big improvements are still needed in the Poipu and Kapaa area resort condos.

real estate inventory: Kauai Real Estate Continues to Move Toward a More Balanced Market
- 01/14/12 04:20 AM
Kauai Absorption Rates Show A More Balanced Market Kauai absorption rates continue to move toward a more balanced market. The Lihue area leads the way with a supply of homes and condo well below 12 months. The South Shore, once a very troubled area, has also seen a dramatic recovery and now has the least supply of all of Kauai's resort areas (Princeville, Kapaa, Poipu).
The horizontal color bands in the chart indicate market health from a seller's perspective (red is ugly). Foir more information, see the color code definitions to the right of the chart.

real estate inventory: Kauai Real Estate Inventory Peaked 16 Months Ago
- 12/06/09 03:56 AM
Another update of our Kauai real estate inventory makes it clear that Kauai's real estate inventory is continuing to shrink from August 2008 highs. This is a positive sign for stressed-out sellers. What remains to be seen is whether predictions of a flood of REOs in 2010 comes to fruition. With the new year only 4 weeks off, we'll soon begin to see how that unfolds. For those who want to know, the smooth yellow curve superimposed on the chart is an Excel 3rd-order polynomial curve fit. (If image does not show, please hit your browser refresh button)

real estate inventory: Kauai Inventory Continues Recovery
- 11/18/09 11:55 AM
The chart below is an update to my September post. With over a year of of decreasing inventory, it's clear that Kauai's real estate inventory is continuing to recover from August 2008 highs. It's rarely possible to discern trends until sufficient time has elapsed to look back and see where we have been. For Kauai, the inventory buildup began in the Fall of 2005 and continued to build for 3 years. Now the number of active listings has been decreasing for a full year. This is a positive sign for stressed-out sellers. While I expect some time to elapse before prices also … (7 comments)
real estate inventory: Kauai's Poipu Real Estate May Be Ready to Turn the Corner
- 09/26/09 09:56 AM
Earlier today I posted my real estate inventory chart for the entire island of Kauai. Although that chart showed Kauai's real estate inventory has been decreasing for over a year, Poipu on Kauai's South Shore has lagged behind. Finally there are signs of improvement here as well. Admittedly it was hard to get the yellow curve fit to bend at the upper right so it's still a bit early to say inventory here has peaked. Nevertheless, it's a positive sign especially when considering the overall improvement in Kauai. (If image does not show, please hit your browser refresh button)

real estate inventory: Kauai Real Estate Inventory Has Peaked
- 08/30/09 07:51 AM
Data is increasingly convincing that Kauai's real estate inventory has peaked. It's rarely possible to discern trends until sufficient time has elapsed to look back and see where we have been. For Kauai, the inventory buildup began in the Fall of 2005 and continued to build for 3 years. Now the number of active listings has been decreasing for a full year. This is a good sign for sellers and may be a signal for buyers to act now while inventory remains high with negotiable pricing and low interest rates. For techies, the smooth yellow curve superimposed on the chart is an Excel 3rd-order … (0 comments)
