The updated Kauai real estate inventory chart is presented below. The 3+ year climb may have resumed as shown in the chart. The dip in early November was hopeful but as I always say "one month does not a trend make". Nevertheless, we may be starting to flatten out and another few months will give a better picture on that. Unfortunately, the Koloa/Poipu area on Kauai's south shore continues to climb without a break. This is likely because of the high concentration of condos in Poipu which normally attract mainland buyers. Those buyers have been conspicuously absent, both as measure in real estate sales and in tourism. Todays lower prices and ultra-low interest rates should start to make some of these properties irresistable.
Aloha!

Richard, on a positive note when I get one of my cold Canadian clients looking for a Realtor in Hawaii, It appears you'll me able to find them something. I'll keep lookingofr someone going your way.

Hi Bill,
As unbelievable as it is, we're having a big "sale" on homes in paradise and the're more to pick from than ever.
I had a Canadian client purchase a lot on Kauai recently and would be pleased to have others to work with. While I'd like to reciprocate, I have yet to have anyone looking for a place in Canada. People who come here usually want to stay unless they lose their job and need to go back to the mainland.
Aloha!
Richard, I hope a breather is indeed in sight. I am still working on that blackberry recipe. I talked to my Mom while she was out shopping about it, so hopefully between me and her, we can remember to get it for you. I hope you have a very nice Christmas!
Hi Eileen - Yup, a very good time indeed. How is it in Carmel?
