Ewa Beach, HI

Aloha,

It is all to often that our troops go unnoticed unless we are personally touched. As we complain about the drive into work they are under fire. Please take time to think of the men and women that give so much for us. Should any one of those men and women wish to own a piece of the land they are willing to defend please have them contact me, and I will be more then glad to walk them through the process. Mahalo

That's all folks.

I recently had a client that I represented as the buyers agent...we looked at properties for months, put in offers and finally got one under contract. Luckily it was the best one that we had looked and an absolute steal. Everything went well through the transaction except when we got the appraised value (VA Loan), which ended up being $10k short. At first I thought it wasn't a big deal and $10k didn't seem like much when the property is valued at more then $500k, but it sure is ending up to be a HUGE headache. The main problem is that the property is one of the nicest in the neighborhood and there are a number of back up offers in place behind ours...That $10k is the credit that we were getting from the sellers for closing costs and the buyers don't want to dish out any more cash. Seems like we may be stuck between a rock and a hard place!

Best of all the only comps that the appraiser can use have 1 bedroom and bathroom less than the subject property! Just one of the many bumps in the road in the Real Estate industry...

Woodbridge is a neighborhood at Ewa by Gentry. This is an upscale area, where homes typically have 3-5 bedrooms and 3 baths, 2,600+ square feet interior and 5,000+ square foot lots.

Ewa by Gentry Woodbridge homes were built from 2002 to 2006 - they're comparatively new for a Hawaii neighborhood. Woodbridge is an ideal choice of neighborhood for large families looking for an affordable, upscale home.

Home prices have fallen in the past couple of years and deals can be found at Woodbridge. A quick check reveals that the majority of listings on the market now are priced below what the owners paid a couple of years ago. The difference between the current market prices and prices paid by owners sometimes goes beyond $100,000. Now's the time to "buy low" so we can "sell high" later!

View our Ewa by Gentry Woodbridge webpage and find a home that fits your needs. The page includes a comparative market analysis (CMA) report so you can see what homes have sold for recently.
