Princeville Kauai condo (and house) update for the week of Jan 31st to Feb 6th

Elaine Schaefer (R, BIC, CRS, GRI, ABR): Real Estate Agent in Princeville, HI

Aloha,

It was another glorious week here in Paradise, so much so that we even went for a motorcycle ride Saturday down to Lihue to take in a movie. It was equally beautiful Sunday so we went down to the beach in Kapaa (for a change of venue) and soaked up some sun.

January 2010 closed out the month well above January 2009 with 54 transactions compared to only 20 in ‘09. This is almost as much as December 2009 which ended up with 59 total. Let's hope February follows in January's footsteps. It won't be hard to outdo the number of sales in Feb 09 as there were only 26. Now on to your update:

Hale Moi 215 returns to active status, having previously been listed from 4/06 to 3/07 starting at $629,900 and ending at $560K when it was withdrawn. It was listed again from 4/07 to 4/09 during which time it went from $559K to $529K when it expired with 729 market days. This time unit 215, which sold for $425K in 8/04, is newly listed at $329K as a short sale. Also back on the market is Villas of Kamali'i 29 which sold for $750K in 6/05. This unit was listed from 2/08 to 2/09 starting at $925K and reducing to $855K when it was withdrawn. It was relisted in 6/09 to 1/2010 for $839K. It is now listed for $749K.

Sandpiper 107 is back on the market after expiring listed at $265K which is still the list price. This unit sold for $365K in 9/04 and started out with a price of $419K. This is not a short sale.

Nihilani 26A went quickly into escrow this week with only 46 market days, having reduced to $539K from the original start price of $589K. 26A sold from the developer on 12/06 for $805K.

Two developer's Ka'iulani units were withdrawn this week, unit 52 listed for $1.749M and unit 11 listed for $1.995M. Puamana 25B, listed at $385K and purchased for $380K in 9/04 was also withdrawn from the market. Nihlani 24C, a resale listed for $798K withdrew from the market. This unit sold from the developer in 12/06 for $876,145.

As for price changes: Sandpiper 115, which sold for $180K in 12/01 and was foreclosed on in 7/09 reduced from $224,900 to $214,900. I looked at this unit and other day and it is surprisingly clean and tidy for a foreclosure although it could use some updating. Hale Honu 9B which sold for $355K in 4/04 reduced from $324K to $310K. Ali'i Kai 6102 went from $499,900 to $486,900 and last sold for $140K in 8/98. The developer's Nihilani unit 15B went from $585K to $565K while Villas of Kamali'i made a token reduction from $735K to $730K. This unit last sold for $750K in 6/05.

I've been seeing more buyers coming into the office and agents out showing property which I hope will translate into sales. As of today (2/8/10) there are 132 condo listings and 63 residential listings in Princeville which includes Queen Emma's Bluffs. If you've been out to look lately, you know those numbers are deceiving because there's only a few that will catch your attention. Now is the time to look though, while the choices are there. If you are thinking of buying or selling don't forget to call or email for the facts. That's it for this week.

Aloha Elaine

If you'd like to search these properties on Kauai's MLS (Multiple Listing Service) click here and enter the MLS # into the search box at the top of the page.

Keep in mind, when buying an REO property, the Seller (i.e. bank) wants you to be pre-qualified or pre-approved and in some cases also provide proof of cash funds (i.e. for your down payment). In all cases, the property is sold "as is." If anything here interests you, let me know. Or if you're interested in real estate owned (REO) condominiums, drop me a line and I'll send you a list of those.

Kauai bans handheld cell phones while driving

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

Kauai has joined the island of Oahu by passing an ordinance banning use of handheld electronics while driving. The Oahu ordinance is already in effect and Kauai's will begin on May 3. The Kauai mayor has promised to sign the bill when it arrives at his desk.

It's not yet clear what steps the county will take to notify arriving tourists which make up a significant number of our drivers. That may not be a big issue since bans are being enacted in many areas of the mainland and the car rental companies should notify it's drivers.

Come visit and drive safe!
