Customer Listing Synopsis

Market Update

Ken and his wife Monique had a wonderful vacation in Oregon, the highlight of which was becoming Grandparents for the first time. A photo of Rachel (Greg's sister) and Ruby taken 20 hours after her birth can be found at the bottom of this e-mail. Mom, dad, grandparents, and baby all doing well.

While in Oregon, Ken and Monique had a chance to visit the Oregon coast where they stayed in the beautiful and well appointed Harbor Lights B&B in Depoe Bay compliments of Patrick Maguire and his most gracious Hawaiian innkeeper, William. This is a must stop for anyone visiting this area.

From there, we traveled to Bend in Central Oregon and marveled out how this area is growing by leaps and bounds and attracting some very high end resort developments. Even though we enjoyed being away, there is no place like home and especially when that home is on Maui.

The primary focus in this week's Newsletter is on the relatively more affordable homes and condos...at least by Maui standards. Please take time to review these listings and let us know if there is anything that might be of interest. Also, check our "Hot Buy" list on the website frequently. Whenever you see "New" next to a listing it is either something that we have added recently or whenever there has been a price reduction.

Don't forget to e-mail us your wish list, so that we can put you on Auto-Notification. In that way, you can be sure you won't miss out on the property you've been waiting for.

As we usually do, we like to call your attention to articles that might be of interest. Here are links to this weeks medley of real estate related stories.
