Kauai, Hawaii REO & Foreclosures, October 19, 2009 Update

This is an update to the October 1, 2009 Kauai REO, Kauai Foreclosures, Kauai, Hawaii Foreclosures list. Scroll down to the October 1, 2009 list to see the complete list of Kauai REO properties

New Upcoming Kauai REO Property:

#1. 4277 Puaole Street, Lihue. I haven’t driven by this home yet. But according to the Kauai Business Report not only was there a foreclosure action but also a court foreclosure ejectment filed. When a home is foreclosed on by the bank and they take it back in foreclosure and the home is found occupied the banks usually try to work out a agreement with the occupant to move. However if the occupant refuses to move the Bank’s attorney goes back to court to get a writ of ejectment which allows the sherrif to physically remove the occupant. According to the Kauai Business Report the Plaintiff appears to be a private company or firm rather than a traditional bank. Not all notices of foreclosure will lead to be a listed REO property. But when a notice of ejectment is filed along with a foreclosure it is a sure sign that the property is banked owned (or private party foreclosure).

New Listed Kauai REO Property:

Waipouli Beach Resort Waipouli Beach Resort A304, Kapaa. This is an oceanfront/beachfront newer upgraded high end 2 bedroom 3 bath condo in great condition with great views. $1,060,900. According to tax records this is owned by US Bank National Association Trustees. Click on icon for virtual tour. Waipouli Beach A304 Tour MLS#228473.

Kauai REO Properties in Escrow:

1. 4107 Kawili St, Lihue. 3 bedroom 3 bath modern home in Molokoa. Granite counter tops, spa tub & tile floors. $559,900. MLS#227900. A bank of America REO.

Price Reductions:

1. Mauna Ka 5A, Kao Kai Ph 1, Princeville. This 2 bedroom 2 bath condo boasts 1503 sq ft. of living area. This is the ground floor one level unit. Priced at $209,000. MLS#226523.

Sold Kauai REO Properties:

1. Sun Village Kauai #C312. 1 bedroom, 1 bath leasehold condo on 3rd floor of Sun Village, an adult only/retirement community. $100,000. MLS# 226515. Sold for $96,650 cash 10/16/2009.

2. Nihilani at Princeville #14A. This is a 3 bedroom 2.5 newer condo in Princville. $489,900. MLS#225806 Sold for $490,000 10/13/2009 CNV.

The Kauai Business Report is an interesting resource in seeing what foreclosure have been filed in court, It also lists recorded real estate transactions. But because the publication only comes out monthly it can be outdated. On the October 14th 2009 issue on page 15 of closed transactions it lists closed sales for the month of August. So while it lists the foreclosure/bank recordation of my listed Makauena unit, that property had already closed on the 9th of October on a resale. However other bank owned properties are listed. Page 15 has the foreclosure actions. But please note not all foreclosures become REOs. Many are postponed due to loan mods, bankruptcy proceedings and other legal proceedings. If you have a question about a certain property in the report just drop me an email.

Wow, one half of the 44 Listed REOs are in escrow. Closings should be increasing for the months of October thru December. Upcoming (not yet listed) Kauai REOs will be featured in next weeks blog. One of the most interesting solds last month was the Princeville at Mauna Kai #5A condo. I originally had this condo listed but then lost the listing to another Realtor. We both had a hard time selling it due to high HOA fees ($877 a month) and the age of the spacious unit. The price dropped to $219,000 before it went to auction. At auction I can only guess that “bargain” hunters got caught up in the thrill of the bidding. The unit sold for $275,000 without the protections of the standard Realtors contracts. I agree that now is the time to buy but you sill need the benefit of a local Realtor’s guidance and knowledge to get the best possible “deal”.

Death of a Hawaiian, Aloha Dwight K. Burgess

Dwight Burgess & Julie BlackDwight K. Burgess waterMy former boyfriend( from 1977 to mid 1982), Dwight Kunani Burgess pasted away on May 21, 2009 in Winnetka, California. Born & raised on Kauai as a young man he loved to bodysurf, boogie board and have fun. Later in life he moved to Winnetka , California where he spent the later part of his life doing volunteer work. These are photos of Dwight in younger years at Hanalei & Brennecke's Beach in Poipu.

A Celebration Of Life Service was held for Dwight on September 27, 2009 at Poipu Beach Park. Dwight's brother, James Burgess, seen in the photo below releases the calabash of Dwight's ashes into the water at Brennecke's as his family and friends look on.
