Princeville condo (and house) update for the week of May 17th to 23rd

By
Real Estate Broker/Owner with Sold on Kauai Realty RB-18142

Aloha,

Hope you are all enjoying a fun filled Memorial Day weekend. Since the Hanalei Beaches were just voted #1 in the US by Dr. Beach, I decided it would be a good place to work on my tan. Fortunately the weather is cooperating with bright blue skies and plenty of sun. I was even treated to the Green Flash tonight when the sun went down. You don't always get to see this phenomenon... as there's often a small line of clouds on the horizon line that prevent you from seeing the sun as it disappears into the ocean. That's when you see the flash .... just as the sun slips into the water. There's plenty of controversy and information as to what causes a green flash. I'm not all that interested in the scientific reason but I am delighted each time I am privileged to witness one. Check it out the next time you're here.

Here is your update for this past week:

Pali Ke Kua 141 is the only new listing this week. This unit was purchased in 4/99 for $205K and has been completely renovated within the past year. Instead of the usual white kitchen cabinets with formica countertops, this unit has richly stained maple cabinets with granite slab countertops, stainless steel appliances, new bathrooms with travertine vanity tops, travertine floors and completely new showers / tubs. Bamboo floors make for easy care plus you have a nice ocean view from throughout the unit as well as the master suite. You've probably guessed by now that this unit, priced at $765K is my new listing!

Two units are back on the market: Paniolo 202, listed for $235K unfortunately fell out of escrow and is back on the market. This unit sold for $120K in 5/94 as a leasehold then converted for fee simple in 11/94 for $27K. Hanalei Bay Resort N22, purchased in 1/06 for $469,900 is back on active status after being withdrawn on 5/6/09. It cames back on the market reduced from $398,500 to $349K as you'll see under the price changes portion of this update.

Two properties went into escrow: Nihilani 17C, listed for $695K and purchased in 8/06 for $822,870 and Puu Poa 411, listed at $1.5M and purchased in 6/97 for $320K. Nice to see some activlity in the market. Emmalani Court 323, purchased for $275K in 4/93 barely earned the seller any gain as it closed for $330K this past week. Unbelievable.

All six fractional shares of Villas of Kamali'i 20, purchased for $845K in 6/08 expired while listed from $250K to $265K. Paniolo 115, listed at $650K also expired. This unit sold for $550K in 6/06. If you're wondering why this unit is so much more money than the other Paniolo's it's because it is one of the few free standing cottages in the complex.

Plantation 1512, purchased for $520,402 and listed for $575K was withdrawn after 290 days on the market. I guess they didn't want to reduce down to the point of a capital loss. One of the developer's Nihilani unit's, 10A, listed at $765K was also withdrawn.

Of course, we have our price changes this week, starting with Villas on the Prince 30. Purchased for $565K in 3/04, this unit reduced from $729,500 to 719,500. Ka E'o Kai 5A, which sold for $200K in 8/02 reduced from $319,900 to $299,900. Hanalei Bay Resort N22, which was also listed under back on the market, reduced from $398,500 to $349K. Ka E'o Kai 2B, had a nice $100K drop from $597K to $497K. They definitely get the price drop award this week. This unit sold for $240K in 4/01. Nihilani 22C, a resale which reduced from $599K to $569K originally sold in 11/06 for $848,950. As usual our last unit is Pali Ke Kua 109 which is still reducing by $500 a day, now listed at $843,900.
