Social Networking the Old Fashioned Way - Get out and walk around your town! - Apr 18 11:03 AM
Social Networking at Street Level - Paia Maui HI
Sometimes it's good to get out and walk about your town. Yesterday I was in our Paia Maui office and decided to walk up to the Post Office to check the mail, even though it was hot and sunny and I could have cruised up in air conditioned comfort (but how lazy is that?).
I'm glad I did. I ran into a friend who is a property manager and learned ...

How to get featured on Localism - just follow me - Dec 19 05:36 AM
I haven't been posting much lately, probably because I spend way to much time making my posts all pretty - I love eye candy. But it's paid off anyway - a couple of the last ones became featured on Localism, so they earned me 400 points or more. Woohoo.
Stable Road In Spreckelsville and Ho'okipa Beach Park must be doing something right. I'm not quite sure I know what it is, but if points and juice is what you're shooting for, then check ...

Zillow can be your tool - why not use it? - Mar 25 03:30 PM
I went to zillow.com today just to see if anything was new in "my towns". It's quite amazing that it's such a blank slate still. I'm going to use it as a tool to connect with buyers and sellers of Maui real estate. I don't care if their zestimates are inaccurate - that's just another reason why a buyer needs an agent, and hopefully they will contact me.
Previously I have uploaded photos of my towns, because ...

IF $$$ WERE NO OBJECT.... my dream green home on MAUI - Dec 19 04:53 AM
Who's Brad Pitt?
The other night Larry King was interviewing Brad Pitt and I turned on the TV and said, "we have to watch this program with Brad Pitt in New Orleans." My dad said "who's Brad Pitt?" I explained to him that Brad Pitt was the actor in the Jesse James film that he recently saw, and he looked hard and said... "so it is!". Well at least that got his attention, so we were able ...

Shopping for a Vacation Condo on Maui - what to look for - Feb 23 08:15 PM
WHAT'S A VACATION CONDO? KIHEI and WAILEA GOOGLE MAP
In Maui County Hawaii, zoning allows for short term rentals which are defined as anything less than 180 days. In Kihei and Wailea this has created some exquisite hotels and resorts, and many great beachfront condo buildings which are suitable for short stays. Many owners use their vacation condos for just a few weeks a year, and rent them out the rest of the time. The south shore of ...

Got a good deal on some batteries... for power on Maui. - Apr 16 03:53 AM
Got a good deal on some batteries... $20 bucks each.
Somebody knew somebody - they were dismantling a back up power system for a high tech facility on Haleakala, Maui, and hundreds of these perfectly good batteries were being unloaded for cheap. My husband got 20. He got a solar panel from another friend, and a old inverter we had kicking around, and made himself a free-standing power system - this one for the barn in Haiku. No more starting ...

Maui Market Update - Good News for Property Owners - Maui HI - Jan 26 06:36 PM
This week the Maui News put out a good article summarizing the Maui Real Estate market. They stated that our market is more or less flat, as opposed to declining. Average condo prices are up 4%, while single family home prices are down just 1%. This is not surprising to those of us who are lucky enough to live in this wonderful island paradise. They're not making any more Maui, so what we have is very much in ...

2007 Market Overview
Maui Real Estate Advisor
A steady standoff results in a stable market
Despite record inventory, prices don't change much
As with much of the country, the real estate market on Maui was slower than in previous years. Unlike most of the country, the prices in Maui did not decline significantly.
While many buyers sat on the sidelines waiting for waiting for Maui prices to do what they're doing in many mainland markets, sellers held steady on their ...

West Maui Real Estate Market - Dec 19 03:57 AM
Properties require more time to sell on West Maui than they did a year ago and there are fewer condo units being sold: The graph shows 12-month moving averages of the number of units sold each month. However, affluent buyers are buying enough luxury homes to cause average prices for single-family home sales to increase substantially. This is the case for West Maui much more than the island in general. See the graph below, which shows 12-month moving averages of selling prices:My million-dollar house ...

Maui Homes for Sale - Fixer Uppers
Looking for a fixer upper? Something you can work on? Make it all nice and new?
Back in the day when the sugar and pineapple plantations ruled the island, they built "affordable housing" for the workers. These plantation homes were very basic, no frills. Single wall construction, canec ceilings, a cesspool. This home dates back to 1930 so you know there's going to be a lead based paint disclosure coming.
