Aloha,
We ended March with 75 sales which is a 25% increase over the 60 sales in Mar 2010. Year to date we are at 194 compared to this time last year when we had 154 sales. Of the 75 sales this month, 24 were condos, which is down from 29 sales last March. Of those sales, only 6 were in the Hanalei district, which encompasses Princeville. Now on to your weekly update:

Aloha,
In March 2010 we had 60 sales. So far this year, per the MLS statistics, there have been 42 sales, 15 of which were condos. Do you think we'll surpass last year's number? Take a look at the update and see what you think.

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Mar 6th to Mar 12th - 03/13/11 02:46 PM

Aloha,
As I'm sure you know, there was a tsunami warning on Kauai this week, which fortunately turned out to be a ‘non-event' here in Princeville. Unfortunately, the Big Island and Maui did not fare as well - but really it is clearly Japan that needs all our prayers and attention in the aftermatch of their disaster.
Princeville is considered "high ground" - we went out on the bluff about 3 AM, armed with a powerful spotlight, and watched the water for about 15 minutes, finally concluding that we were in no danger. All we lost was some sleep as we … (0 comments)

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Feb 27th to Mar 5th - 03/06/11 06:54 AM

Aloha,
It's been a pretty blustery, rainy week, for the most part with torrential downpours in Kapaa most of Friday. Today, Sunday, as I look out over the ocean, I can finally see the horizon which is not always the case. I often sit here and watch as one rainstorm after another comes in. I must add that, even on the worst of days, Kauai is still better than most any other place I can think of and it's certainly warmer. Don't like the weather here? Just sit still for 20 minutes and it's bound to change. Now on to your … (0 comments)

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Feb 13th to Feb 19th - 02/20/11 05:46 AM

Aloha,
I'm reporting this week from Scottsdale, having first traveled to Yuma (yes, I deliberately went there) with my hubby for his business and then to my current location where we've enjoyed the Scottsdale Arabian Horse show. If you've never been involved with horses, especially horses at the "top of their game" let me tell you, some of them cost more than a house - a very nice house.
Even the concession area can be pricey as there are furs, leathers, life sized bronze horse sculptures, and "blinged out" handbags, belts, jackets, jeans and everything else imaginable for sale. We're having … (0 comments)

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Feb 6th to Feb 12th - 02/13/11 08:59 AM

Aloha,
It's another beautiful day in Paradise after two days of rain. This time of the year is when it's easiest to tell locals from visitors - locals are all bundled up (after all, it does get down into the 60′s in the evening, and it is cool with the rain during the day) while visitors are just happy they can get out of their condo and into the car without having to trudge through a snowstorm. As a result, they're happily walking around, rain or shine, in shorts and tank tops with an occasional sweater. It's really fun to notice … (2 comments)

princeville real estate: Kauai 2011 January Market Statistics - 02/07/11 04:24 PM

Aloha,
January certainly seemed busier than months past, but the proof of the pudding is always in the numbers. For Jan 2011 there was only a slight increase over Jan 2010 with 58 sales this past month compared to Jan 10 which had only 4 less at 54. Nothing to really write home about but we should see increased stats going forward if indeed, January was as busy as it seemed.
Of the 58 sales, 29 were residential, 8 land, 1 commercial, and 20 were condo sales. Here are those sales for this past month:

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Jan 30th to Feb 5th - 02/06/11 08:36 AM

Aloha,
It's been another great week in paradise. Lots of high surf and sunny days. Doesn't get any better than that. Although January started out with a great deal of activity, we haven't seen the results in terms of closings....yet. That should be evident in the next couple of months. Nevertheless, Jan 2011 did slightly outperform Jan 2010 by 4 additional sales, going from 54 in Jan 2010 to 58 in Jan 2011. Hopefully this trend will continue to increase month by month.

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Jan 23th to Jan 29th - 01/30/11 08:11 AM

Hihimanu Mountain
Aloha,
Yesterday, we did one of my favorites hikes which is the Okolehau Hike out of Hanalei Valley. In the past, we've gone as far as the lookout over Hanalei Valley, which is the end of trail if you go to the left when you get to the "intersection." We'd heard that if you go off to the right, you can actually hike to the top of Hihimanu mountain, which we affectionately refer to as the "bat wings." We just had to try it.
Getting close to our goal.
It's not an easy hike by any means. … (4 comments)

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Jan 16th to Jan 22nd - 01/24/11 11:27 AM

Aloha,
After a huge rainstorm on Sunday the 16th, the weather has been pretty near perfect. I particularly love the winter days with blue skies, white puffy clouds and cooling trades. We've even had some high surf which the whales seemed to enjoy judging by the number of breeching whales I've seen. (Ok, I haven't always been looking at the exact moment to see the actual whale but I've certainly seen the huge splash!)
Real Estate activity continues on the upswing, with more showing requests and buyers on Island than in past weeks. As a result, we're seeing more well priced … (0 comments)

Aloha,
We've had some beautiful weather the last few days-the kind of weather that makes you want to pack up and move here immediately if you don't already live here. And for those of us that do, we just soak it all in and say to ourselves "lucky we live Kauai." Now on to your weekly update:

princeville real estate: Princeville Kauai condo (and house) + short sale update for the week of Jan 2nd to Jan 8th - 01/09/11 12:48 PM

Aloha,
This was a great week as far as winter weather goes. We had a cold snap for a few days which caused everyone here to dig out their long pants and jackets. It must have been down into the low 60′s and high 50′s which is downright chilly by Kauai standards.
At the same time, we had some of the most spectacular high surf which I enjoyed as I worked in my home office. I particularly love this time of year as it brings the albatross around, who make soaring over the bluffs and ocean look so very effortless. The … (1 comments)

princeville real estate: Kauai, Hawaii 2010 December Market Statistics - 01/04/11 11:00 AM

Aloha,
Hau'ole Makahiki Hou. 2010 didn't materialize like many of us would have preferred but the month of December did see a 30% increase in sales over Dec 09 - going from 60 to 78 sales. Of the 78 sales that took place in Dec 10, 46 were residential, 10 land, with 22 condos sold. Year to date is a hearty 43% over last year, with 720 sales this year compared to 504 last year. Should I be so bold as to say the market is picking up? I think so...
For Year to date 2008 there were a mere 588 … (0 comments)

Hau'ole Makahiki Hou. 2010 was a difficult year for many, what with all the foreclosures, short sales and long, drawn out transactions. We all hoping for a better market in 2011 - one that brings smiles to the faces of buyers, sellers and agents. Here is your update for the week just past:

Aloha,
I hope everyone had a very Mele Kalikimaka! We certainly enjoyed our time down in Puhi and actually went shopping Christmas eve just because we were so darn close, we could easily do so. I might even run over to Macy's for their "after Christmas" specials before heading North this afternoon. As far as real estate goes, there were quite a few showings and I see that a few properties went into escrow but overall - it was pretty quiet with few status changes. Here is your update:
