Hanalei, HI

Aloha,

It's pouring down rain today so it's a perfect opportunity to get online and give you an update on single-family homes currently on the market between Hanalei and Haena. For those of you who love Kauai's north shore, these two favorite communities (with Wainiha tucked in between) currently offer 30 single-family homes on the market.

Since my last blog post updating you on these Kauai properties, only two new listings have appeared. They are:

MLS #217088 - a single-family home in Hanalei on Kuhio Hway. Days on market = 9, asking price is $1,259,000

MLS #217160 - an oceanfront home on Alealea Road, 3 bedrooms/3.5 baths. Days on market =1, asking price is $6.5 million.

One home currently has an accepted offer on it. It's a 2 bedroom/2 bath home on Alamihi, close to the Hanalei Colony Resort. It has been on the market for 412 days. An oceanfront home on Alealea sold on Sept. 30th for $5 million after being on the market a bit more than 6 months. When it first went on the market, the asking price approx. $6,850,000.

Interested in Condos on the North Shore?

The Hanalei Colony Resort still has 3 condos on the market. Asking between $534,000 and $739,000, these 2 bedroom condos have been on the market between 132 and 139 days.

With 30 homes on the market along Kauai's famed north shore, there are many choices. Priced from $799,000 (3 bedroom/3 bath) to $15,000,000. Let me know if there is a property you'd like to know more about on Kauai.

Aloha,

The weather on the north shore of Kauai has been stellar lately. Those who love to kayak the Na Pali Coast still had the opportunity to do so last weekend before a swell moved in on Sunday afternoon. Then, just across the street from me, at what we call "Ike's beach" (for my famous golden retriever), near the Y camp (Camp Naue), neighbors - young and old alike - were out having a blast on their boogie boards, paddle boards and surf boards.

Since my last posting on Sept. 8th, there are no new homes on the market between Hanalei and Haena. And, two of the homes that had been on the market are now off the market.

#1. After 353 days on the market, the 5 bedroom/5bath Hanalei home at 5-5522 Kuhio Hwy, asking $3,395,000, was withdrawn on Sept. 15th.

#2. After 549 days on the market, the listing for the 3 bedroom home at 4522 Uku Lii Place (Wainiha), asking $1,099,000, expired.

There was a time when finding a home between Hanalei to Haena for under $1 million was highly unlikely. Today there are four homes on the market priced between $799,000 (MLS #209531, 3 bedroom/3 bath in Wainiha, DOM=166) to $980,000 (MLS #200910, 2 bedroom/2bath in Wainiha, DOM=370) in the area. For those who know the north shore, Wainiha is just before and just past the well-known “double bridges.” (This MLS information has been supplied by third parties and has not been independently verified by Hawaii Information Service and is, therefore, not guaranteed.)

Since last week, no additional homes in this area have received any accepted offers. However, if you have any questions regarding these properties, I'd be more than happy to assist you. It is a Buyer's market and interest rates are still near historic lows. Take advantage of it while you can.

Have a great day!

Debra

Aloha,

Those who know and love Kauai understand the world’s fascination with the north shore areas of Hanalei to Haena. Renowned for its surfing, beautiful bay and "Puff the Magic Dragon," Hanalei is enchanting. Wainiha and Haena offer fabulous mountain, valley and ocean views, not to mention a "get away from it all" lifestyle. Haena is also known for Mt, Makua aka Bali Hai in the movie " South Pacific."

From simple plantation style homes to enticing oceanfront properties, here are the single-family homes currently on the market there as of September 8, 2008 (This information has been supplied by third parties and has not been independently verified by Hawaii Information Service and is, therefore, not guaranteed.
