Kauai real estate prices appear to have turned a corner in 2009

The Kauai real estate market has been in sync with most of the nation as sales prices have been in decline since our market peaked in 2006.  Hints that we may be starting to stabilize are more pronounced now that complete data for 2009 is in.  The downward curve for residential sales prices is starting to break after hitting a low in the first quarter 2009.  This is a positive sign compared to my post with 3rd quarter data HERE.

You must be experiencing a huge amount of short sales. What a great time to buy in the area.

Ah, you're in Howard County, what a great area. I lived in Anne Arundel for 35 years.

Residential and condo sales have nearly doubled from a year ago, another good sign.

Aloha!

Richard,  I just wanted to let you know that your graphs look fantastic.  I am really impressed.  The photo in the background makes them so much more interesting than a normal graph and having your logo is a great idea.  The only thing missing is your phone number.

Looks like you run about a year behind us here in San Diego, both going up and coming down. We've had 17 consecutive months of increasing sales and 10 consecutive months of increasing or flat prices.

That's interesting Jim.  One of our local economists had said Hawaii was "in phase" with California this time whereas normally we lag by a year.  It sounds like we are lagging this time too.
