February 2017 Housing Statistics show North Kona up 6.77% YTD, and 10% over last  February,  surpassing mainland numbers.

Aloha, Lance Owens (RS) here with LUVA Real Estate,  and I have to be honest, the FHFA numbers state "1st Quarter" and we still have several days of reporting left?  (typically sales take 2-4 days to get reported or I would have used 1st Quarter results also). 

You be the judge, here are the black and white numbers below. 

SOME HIGHLIGHTS:

• The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) recently released their latest Quarterly Home Price Index report.
• In the report, home prices are compared both regionally and by state.
• Based on the latest numbers, if you plan on relocating to another state, waiting to move may end up costing you more!
• Alaska, Delaware, West Virginia & Wyoming were the only states where home prices are lower than they were last year.
