Market News

During the first few months of 2008, prices have continued to remain flat with some decline in the condo market as well as in homes priced between 600 and 2M. Inventory remains high and sellers are negotiating on terms and price for qualified buyers. Opportunity is here for great deals on beautiful properties for those buyers who are ready to make the commitment.

In Kona we have homes in the Palisades area listed from the high 300’s and up. Pualani Estates new homes are listed from the 400’s up. Kona Vistas has many terrific homes, some with pools from the 800’s and there are wonderful opportunities in the mauka subdivisions with eye-popping views listed under 2M. In Waikoloa Beach Resort and at the Mauna Lani Resort, select new condos are being offered fully furnished and some have other enticements as well.

Baby Boomers, it is time to seriously think about your retirement or second home and take advantage of the opportunities that abound in this market. Call me for information!
