Aloha,
It’s been a beautiful week in Kauai after some cold days which got into the 60′s. This is the one time of the year where it’s very easy to distinguish locals from visitors, who are all parading around in shorts and tank tops while locals dig out their jeans and sweat shirts.
Nihilani is finally building the last building in the complex. The lot for building 12, which up to this point has handled overflow parking, is now under construction with a tentative completion date in Apr 14. Due to the economy, the builder never completed this last building as he had a great deal of trouble selling his existing inventory.
The building consists of three units – the downstairs, single story Moana with 1406 sqft, and the smallest offering within the complex; the second is the popular townhouse style Makani with 1874 sqft and the third is the largest unit, the Mahina which is a single story upstairs unit of 1972 sqft. Pricing was just released: Moana is $595K with HOA’s of $478, Makani is $675K with HOA’s of $637 and Mahina is $665K with $689 as the HOA. Please contact ASAP if you are interested in one of these new Nihilani units.

The last sale was for the land in 6/03 for $383K.
Well that’s it for this week. Quite a bit of condo activity but not so much in the residential area. We’re getting off to a slow start with only 19 sales as of today Sunday compared to a total of 49 for last January. Still some good opportunities out there if you are considering the purchase of Kauai real estate. If you need more information on these or any other listings you know what to do. Text, email or call. That’s why I’m here.
In the meantime, if you’re up in the Princeville center you may want to check out “Touch of Kauai” located above Bank of Hawaii. We discovered this new business yesterday while up having lunch at one of my most favorite restaurants, Federico’s and iced coffee from Le Petite Bakery.
Saturday was the grand opening of “Touch of Kauai” which offers not only massages, but also facials and more. We booked a couples massage for next week (they offer Kama’aina rates too) so I’ll let you know how it goes. Their website is TouchofKauai.net.
It’s always good to see a new business open up especially small local businesses where you can get to know everyone there. I think it’s important to support our local businesses as much as possible so check it out – along with all the other great places in the Princeville Center. These businesses are just another part of what makes Princeville so special.
Aloha Elaine
Beautiful Hanalei Bay as seen from the viewpoint on the road. (Before you go down the hill to the one lane bridge.)

We even made it to the beach for some down time!
