Aloha, It’s been just beautiful this past week which may be why only one house and one condo went into escrow. If I were visiting here, I’d be hard pressed not to be at the beach each and every day. Still, things are moving along at a good pace, with 31 sales as of today, Sunday. The number to meet or beat is 72 which were the sales for Jul 12. There are plenty of visitors on Island. Just ask any vacation rental management company about occupancy and most all say the numbers are definitely up. How many will convert to becoming property owners? I’m sure there will be a few.

Aloha, Hope everyone had a Happy Fourth of July! Mother Nature blessed us with outstanding weather – hot and sunny with strong trades. We rented some SUP’s from Titus Kinimaka’s School of Surfing in Hanalei and spent the day at Anini, paddling, laying in the sun and just enjoying the day. What’s so great about renting from Titus is that they rent the boards for 24 hours but they only require that you have the board back before 2 or 2:30 the following day, regardless of the time of pickup the day before. Now that’s Aloha. We were able to paddle all day Thu and Fri in the AM before returning the boards. A great deal for $30 each! Try them if looking to rent on the North Shore. 808 652-1116. Located by Kai Kane in Hanalei. It felt like real estate took a bit of a back seat to the holiday b... 07/07/2013

Aloha, Jun 13 outperformed Jun 12 by 15%, with 98 sales compared to 85 for the previous Jun.

Aloha, This was a very busy week for both condos and houses. As you know, condos have been fairly active but this week we saw two homes go quickly into escrow. One is a very nice short sale on Kaweonui while the other is a large home which still needs some work to bring it to completion. Ocean view and well priced condos continue to lead the way. For the second week in a row there were no price reductions in either category. With properties flying off the shelves as they are now, it appears there’s no need!

Aloha, It’s been a glorious weekend – the kind that makes you want to run out and buy a property even if that was not the original plan. Nice and sunny, beautiful blue skies, and a gentle breeze making for a perfect day at the beach – or hiking or anything else outdoors. Everyday in Kauai is a blessing but there are some days where mother nature presents such a perfect stage you simply cannot do anything but look out and admire all that surrounds you. We enjoyed sitting out on the bluff during sunset as the albatross skimmed along the bluff just a few feet above our heads. As for real estate activity, condo activity remained steady while houses were still on the quiet side.

Aloha, Happy Easter! Although it looks nice and sunny today, overall it was another wet, windy and c–o–l–d week. Ask anyone – temps in the mid 50′s at night is cold here. Throw in some gusty winds and driving rain and you’ll see us all in jeans, sweatshirts and jackets- big puffy jackets. Yes, we may be wimps be we’re warm wimps. Overall, March held its own, with 73 sales compared to 67 for last March. There still may be a few that closed Friday but have not yet been recorded in the MLS. This past week was a little on the slow side, perhaps due to the weather or the fact that it was Easter week.
