This months REO (bank real estate owned) properties show an increase in escrows and sales. The sales figure should also increase in March as prices on Kauai have appeared to hit bottom and should hold steady for at least the next 6 months. Obama’s economic recovery plan should help some homeowners from foreclosure. However some homeowners are too optimistic and unrealistic. A few REOs in eviction are under the mistaken believe that they can “save” their house after foreclosure. Unless there is a period of redemption where the homeowner can pay off the mortgage it is to late. Any attempts to save the home should be before the foreclosure auction.

If you are interested in any of the homes listed as “upcoming” with Kauai Dreams Realty let me know and I can email you more information. You can contact me at julie@hisemail.net or call me on my celll at 808 652-6174. Also on my web site www.kauaidreams.com you can plug in any MLS# for more photos and info on listed properties. Thanks for everyones’ feedback. 2009 is ofering some great buying opportunities for savy investors and 1st time home buyers who were previously priced out of the market. Aloha Julie

This weeks update is short and sweet. I have been away in Honolulu for 3 days and am hastily writing this Sunday night. The market has appeared to pick up as there are more REOs and other properties going into escrow the past few weeks. There are still more REOs on their way and it will probably be steady until mid to the end of the year.

This week’s REO update is dominated by Princeville condos. Where some residential REOs are a great opportunity for first time home buyers and other home seekers, condos tend to attract investment and second home buyers. These buyers are harder to come by these days with the current state of the national economy. Previous inflated condo prices are now having to be really competitive to sell. Along with lower prices other good news is that some lenders such as Fannie Mae are offering special financing deals are their REOs.
