Market Update

With strong demand for homes, condos, and vacant land coupled with relatively low inventories, prices in the low to middle price ranges have increased dramatically to record levels in recent months.

There are, however, signals that the latest round of price increases may be nearing an end. Whereas a few months ago, we hardly had any listings in certain condo projects, we now see many more new listings with sellers testing the waters to see if buyers will bite at even higher prices. We call this fishing.

Whether buyers will continue to take the bait and push the market even higher is doubtful, in our opinion. On the other hand, we are not predicting any precipitous plunge in the market either. What we do expect to see is a period of stabilization and slow growth.

This would be a healthy sign for the market because there is no way, the appreciation of the last few months can be sustained without the market overheating and eventually collapsing. Of course, these are our best educated guesses and we make no guaranties as to future price appreciation or deflation.

So is it still possible to find a good deal? Certainly. There are always going to be motivated sellers who are willing to sell at or below the market. The tricky part is being able to act fast enough when one of these deals come along.

If you are one of those people who can react quickly and decisively and know what you want, we would like to put you on a special priority hot buy list to be contacted as soon as the right deal comes along. If you are interested, please contact us with details of what you are looking for.

Interest rates fell late in the week to 5 5/8% on a 30 year fixed with 2 points. We concur with many experts who are predicting that the long term trend of interest rates is up, so if you are thinking of buying or refinancing, better act quickly if you want to take advantage of these low rates.

Have a terrific week.

Mahalo Nui Loa,
