Maui Hawaii South Shore Condo Newsletter - September 2009

There's a noticeable downturn in the number of new condo listings in South
Maui for the past month. Of the 63 new fee simple listings, 20 are
potential short sales or bank owned. It's surprising to see prices like
this, which we haven't seen for years. See if any of these condos for sale
look interesting and let me know if you have any questions.

Made on Maui - Maui Bud Bowls made with recycled glass

Maui Bud Bowls are Made on Maui

These cute little pottery dishes are hand crafted in Kihei Maui with a variety of crushed recycled glass in the center of each one, for a unique touch. No two bowls are alike.

The outside is unglazed, with a nice raw texture, and the inside is glazed and has a thick crystal-like layer on the bottom from the melted glass fragments.

They're only about 3-4 inches across in this case, but they also come in larger versions. I think the little ones are sweet, and I can see why they are a big seller.

Maui Bud Bowls

You can find these Maui creations at the Kuakini Gallery and Gift Shop in Kahakuloa where they are a red hot item. They make a nice gift to pack in your luggage and take home... hey buy a few while you're at it.

The artists are Marylyn Holland and Beth White. Call the studio at 808 875-6431.

You may remember the koi tiled driveway that I posted a few days ago. Those koi were done by Marylyn. You can visit Marylyn every Friday from 9-1 at the Four Seasons Resort on Maui. Local artists are featured every day!

Kamaole Sands condominium, in kihei Maui is a very popular resort destination.

Right now with the market seeing the bottom as state in the Maui News a couple days ago. I do believe buyers have a sense that the market is stabilizing and its time to step in and buy.

Below is a list of all current Kamaole Sands units active and pending sales. The photos above our from a unit listed with our company in building 5.
