Market Update

There are so many great deals on the market right now that it is sometimes difficult to include everything in our Newsletter.  

Here are few examples of some listings that have not been included in our featured hot buys or that deserve mentioning again.

Papa'anui - The best land deal in Makena at this time.  If you ever thought about building in Makena, then please do yourself a favor and come check out this project.  You have to see it in person to realise what an awesome deal this is!

Kanani Wailea - This is cached version of their website, so it does not have full functionality, but it will give you some idea of this residential condo project in Wailea.  We are getting a listing for House #3 (34 Poailani Place) for the unheard of low price of $950K.  It will be subject to bank approval of Short Sale.

Maluaka - The developer was not able to obtain financing for construction of the condominiumized homes, so the project has been reconfigured for lot sales.  Please call or e-mail for more details and pricing.

On a positive note, pending sales have been increasing over the last several weeks.  If this trend continues, we will see prices stabilizing and inventories dropping.

Have a great week!

Mahalo Nui Loa,

The Smith Team

P.S. Interest rates went higher last week but then dropped back down.  Today, you can lock in at 4.75% for 30 year fixed rate loan with 1 point.  Add .25% for refinances.  Call Caroline with Countrywide Home Loans at (808) 264-0534 for best service and rates.  She can do loans in all 50 States. 

P.S.S.  Congratulations to Ken for completing his 17th Marathon (4th official one in the last 2 years).  Go to the Maui Oceanfront Marathon website to see the results and sign up for next years marathon.  This is one of the most scenic marathons around and run at time when it is not too hot...around 60 degrees at the start and 75 degrees at the finish 4 hours later.
