Happy New Year! It’s the Chinese New Year of the Dragon. I’m looking forward to this week and this year. At the end of this calendar year December 31, 2012 the The Federal Mortgage Forgiveness Debt Relief Act ends. This is important for homeowners who are interested in selling their home via a short sale. Once the act ends it will be interesting to see if there will be less short sales and more foreclosures.

First of all Mele Kalikimaka & Hau’oli Makahiki Hou (Merry Christmas & Happy New Year). This will probably be my last blog for 2011. I will post a new one on January 1st or 2nd 2012. I want to say Thank You to all my loyal clients and am looking forward to meeting new clients. The second half of 2011 did not slow down as much as I thought as judicial foreclosure REOs are trickling in. There will still be reasonably priced Kauai REOs for 2012. So don’t fret if you did not buy anything in 2011. There will still be deals in 2012. My guess is that the deals will dry up by mid 2013 but I will have to reassess this time next year. Thanks again for all your support in 2011 and thank you to those who let me know that you actually read my blog. Have a wonderful Holiday. Julie

I often get asked how’s the market?” Well for me it has been good but it was good to here from others in this economy. According to one local airline employee the planes are busier then this time last year. Our Kauai economy appears to be in a slow recovery. It appears the Kauai real estate market is also slowly and steadily improving.

The Makahuena Resort Condo on Kauai in Poipu

Richard T Dolbeare (RA), ABR, CRS, RSPS, BS/MS - Engineering Hawaii Dreams Today: Real Estate Agent in Koloa, HI

Makahuena is an oceanfront resort condominium perched on a rocky coastline of nearly 3 acres at Makahuena Point in Poipu.  It has 79 units in 6 buildings, all 3 stories except for the 2-story oceanfront building and a detached unit once owned by Kauai's famed ice cream guru, Walter Lappert.  The resort features a pool, hot tub, tennis courts, and the sight and sound of waves rolling in on the rocky coastline.  Many offer stunning views of the ocean plus whales "cruising by" during the winter months.  Most units have 2 bedrooms with 2 or 2.5 baths.  Some top floor units have a loft area which can be used as an office or sleeping area.  Living area layouts include all on one level as well as 2-level or 2-level plus loft configurations.

World-famous Poipu Beach is a 10 minute walk in one direction and Shipwreck Beach the same distance the other direction.  Poipu offers swimming, surfing, sunning, and snorkeling, plus a multitude of shops and restaurants.  Some favorite restaurants include Casa Di Amici, Beach House, Roys, Joe's on the Green and several at the Grand Hyatt and Sheraton hotels.

While many think of Makahuena as part of the Poipu Kai Resort because it's in the same general area, it's not officially a member.  Since Makahuena has its own pool and tennis courts, this has little downside while providing a huge benefit to owners in avoiding the monthly membership fees. 

The Makahuena owners association website is a good resource for owners but access is limited to frequently asked questions for others.

Listing and sales data includes all buildings.  The oceanfront building features premium views and premium prices.  Typically the maximum price in the tables below will be for an oceanfront unit unless there are none in the data.  It is recommended that median prices be used for a more representative price for the interior units.
