Market Update

We are going to depart a bit from our normal format of featuring a variety of listings which are mostly not our own. It occurred to us in going through the new listings this week, that some of the very best buys are our own listings. We have in the past featured these listings as hot buys, but wanted to devote one entire Newsletter to detail why we feel each of our listings deserves your attention. To do this, we have provided you with additional information about other comparable properties, so you can see how our listings stack up against them.

As we have seen in the last few months, the inventory is increasing faster than the number of properties that are selling. According to some market pundits, this is a temporary and welcome breather to the very tight inventory levels and the accompanying rapid appreciation we have seen in recent years. They anticipate the uptrend to continue after a short pause. Also, just before and after Labor Day are typically slow times during the market, as folks are just getting back from Summer vacations and getting ready for the new school year.

If you are thinking about buying or selling, we look forward to hearing from you.

Have a wonderful week.

Mahalo Nui Loa,
