Princeville condo (and house) update for the week of June 22nd to 28th

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

Aloha,

For those of you who have not been up to Kokee, I strongly encourage you to do so. Even if all have time to do is drive up, the views at the end of the road, on a clear day, are breathtaking. Here is your reward:

Just to entice you further, here is another view:

I also did an awesome hike while up there, but I'll save that for another time. Right now, let's get on to your weekly update:

The first sort of new listing, Kamahana #28, has been listed before and is now a short sale at $504,617. (There we go with those lucky number combinations again.) Purchased in 4/06 for $599K, Kamahana was previously listed from 3/07 to 2/08, starting at $725K and ending at $599K when the listing expired. Nihilani #14C is yet another of a growing list of Nihilani units whose owners are looking to sell. Purchased in 3/06 for $706,310, this unit is already showing a loss with a list price of $698K. Sealodge J1 is listed for the first time since it was purchased in 9/02 for $325K. The list price is $729K. Ali'i Kai #5101 is our last new listing, although it has pretty much been listed ever since it was purchased in 5/04 for $595K. It was first listed from 8/04 to 10/04 for $639K; from 7/06 to 8/06 for $975K; from 4/07 to 7/07 starting at $879K and reducing to $849K and finally from 9/07 to 4/08 where it was listed again for $879K. It is now at $849K.

Sandpiper 121 closed this past week at $410K which is higher than the recent sales for the downstairs units. 121 was purchased in 1/06 for $510K garnering this seller a very nice tax write off.

Other than that, all we have left are price changes, all of which are reductions, starting with Paniolo #211 which went from $427K to $422K. Sandpiper 131 reduced from $455K to $425K. All the rest of the reductions took place over at the Cliffs Condos, where we had 3 units reduce this week. Cliffs 5205 had a very nice $50K reduction, going from $650K to $600K. Not to be outdone is unit 9201 which wins the price reduction of the week award with a hearty $100K price drop from $865K to $765K. Seeing as this is in one of the most desirable buildings, with great ocean views, I would expect to see some other price decreases in some other unit. Finally, we have unit 8201 that took a dive from $1.490M to $1.195M. I guess I should give the price reduction award to this unit but unit 9201 seems more within the realm of possibility. 8201 is now listed for the same price as it was back in 2/06 when it sold for $1.075M so maybe this is the lucky number after all. We'll see.

As for homes, here is your activity in Princeville for this week:

It was another steller week, weather-wise with more of the same to come. I'll report on my Kokee - Waimea Canyon hike next. Until then, enjoy the sunshine. Don't forget to call before buying or selling.

Aloha, Elaine
