Oahu real estate market picking up?

I took a few days off to vacation in Maui, and came back to about a dozen inquiries from buyers this morning. Realtors that deal with buyers (like me) are often the first to notice a slowdown in a market, and the first to notice a pickup too.

Sales were down quite a bit the last couple years. Could today's influx of new buyers be a sign of a market that is picking up? If you're reading this from the mainland, remember Oahu's market can move completely independent of the rest of the country.

Maybe it's just a fluke, but it seems like a lot of serious buyers are getting back in the market all of a sudden...
