Sally - so true that national statistics are just numbers. So are local statistics - it really varies by neighborhood as well as type of property. Real estate is local, very local.
Sharon: Funny how the media portrays the stats as "nationwide". Our inventory is going down (yah!) and it's become a more stable market on Oahu in certain neighborhoods. I like doing all these neighorhood watches :)
Now that's a lot of information, packed into one post! Good job incorporating everything together =)
Lisa: Seems it never seems complete...lol! I always have to jam it with stuff and then put the online relo button so they can have more. Well, can't say there isn't enough info :)
Sally, I loved the map but didn't realize there were so many bases there! It's funny but I'd have to say the home and condo costs are about comparable to here (is that possible??). Most of the new homes are going for above $600,000---and you've got how many days of sunshine every year?? :)
Pearl City and Aiea are so convenient to several bases. With gas prices climbing and traffic getting worse, the military buyers are looking to stay closer to base than before.
Sally great local content, another OUTSTANDING job on this blog.
I can remember the last time I heard someone use "hop, skip and a jump" :) :)
At my age I am reduced to a "hop" and possible "skip", but the jump is out of the question .......... LOL
Carole: So....when are you moving here? Lots of biz for FS here! We are close to ALL military bases here...i mean...how could we not be ...we are on an island with MANY military bases and installations :)
Linda: I kind of like it too :) Hey...where'd the side ones go? Eh...we just gotta keep playing with this stuff. :) I gotta go cruising to yours and see if there's fishies up there :)
Randy: Same goes for Mililani, Waipio and Waikele...close to Schofield and Wheeler.
George: Thanks George...you know...I was just thinking about you a little while ago...you're always here to greet me every evening..... unless I'm hopping and skipping and jumping to another time zone to post lol! So you see...we who are a little bit older display our spunk in other ways LOL!
I like this post, Sally. Great information and nice photos. Do you email your relo package or do folks simply download? What is in it (I did not click for fear of generating an email to you from someone who is NOT relocating to Hawaii).
Jeff
What a great post! So much good infornation and targeted keywords everywhere. And, as usual, awesome photos. Hawaii looks like such a beautiful place!
Sally- You took that photo from that awesome sun coming up! It looks great on your banner. What a good job you did on this post with keywords and links! You GO!
Nice colorful presentation...love the map...did you get it from Lenn?:)
Hi Sally,
Ditto to all the above, you are the AR relocation pro!
Neal, Sally may be a long way from the East coast but not far away enough from Lenn to do that!
Sally, This is a little off the topic, but your posts are always full of helpful information; nicely laid out; and, the map is great!
Sally, you gave me a great idea. You are the MASTER!
Sally - Nice presentation. You really do have a great handle on the HI relocation blogging!
Linda: Beautiful!
Jeff: It's just an online one and a link to another site with the post and MANY links. I do send out a printed material one...not quite so comprehensive with ALL my relocation posts but some. :)
Margaret: Believe it when I say it is because of the group that I am getting my 'stuff' together and more organized. Just put up my extensive military base map (made with Microsoft Digital Image Suite and took hours!). Thanks for keeping the group organized with Cynthia and Rich. It makes for a wonderful informational place with great military relo info.
Thanks Katerina!
Neal: Thanks...and just put the "hours to make" map by ....ME.
Cynthia: No kidding... Lenn has her wonderful maps for her area....watch...this is only the beginning for me and maps :)
Thanks Marc! Thanks Gary!
Okay Mirela
Interesting that the market is up from the previous year. Sounds like Hawaii is doing great. I look forward to buying in Hawaii in the future. I love it there.
Dave: Ours stabilized but never went down as other parts of the "nation". I don't like those 'nationwide' reports....it's not the same market everywhere in the U.S. And even moreso from neighborhood to neighborhood. It is a nice place to live....
Great info, loved the pictures too.
