            <title>Oahu real estate - very thin market with prices up, number of listings and sales down</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
How is the market?&nbsp; 5 people have asked me this question since this morning.&nbsp; Of course it's common for people to ask me this, but right now I sense that many people don't see a clear direction for the market right now.&nbsp; 

We can look back and see that since last year prices around Oahu have risen 5% on average for all home sales on Oahu.&nbsp;&nbsp; But where is it going? Everyone wants to know .

(I predicted the bottom of the over 2 years ago, and also predicted the top of the market in 2005.)

            <title>This just in - High Balance loans will NOT be discontinued!</title>

Via Tim O'Leary, Honolulu Home Loans:&nbsp; 

HUD
 previously had announced that Fannie &amp; Freddie 
would be discontinuing HIGH BALANCE Loans.&nbsp; Now Fannie &amp; Freddie 
have decided otherwise.&nbsp; 

The CONFORMING Loan limit will remain at $625,500 and instead of cancelling the HIGH BALANCE, they lowered it.&nbsp; This is great news for the Oahu housing market, especially in higher markets like Hawaii Kai, Diamond Head, Manoa, and Kailua, where high balance loans are very common.&nbsp; Prices in thes... ]]> </description>

            <title>Top 100 Realtors in Hawaii 2010, and a promotion</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ 
&nbsp;I was honored this week to be named in the Top 100 Realtors in Hawaii (out of about 4000 agents) and will be featured in Hawaii Business Magazine's June Issue.&nbsp; I was #45. 

Along with this honor came a promotion to Vice President of Realty Executives Oahu, which is mostly a title only along with some benefits, and I'm very grateful for this as well.&nbsp;

I give all the glory to my God and Father in Heaven for his grace and blessings on me.&nbsp; Thank you Lord. &nbsp;

            <title>You don't want to buy a foreclosure.</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ Unless you have oodles of cash, months to wait, and are willing to risk 10% of the purchase price being taken away without any recourse, buying a foreclosure in Hawaii is not for you. That's because the process in Hawaii is an expensive process that can often result in failure when the court decides the home owner gets to keep his house. You can lose your 10% deposit faster than you can count it. The better way to go is to buy a short sale. Let me give you some tips for short sales.1 - look for ... ]]> </description>

            <title>Under $700k, there are only fixer uppers in Hawaii Kai or Kailua</title>
            <description> <![CDATA[ I'm only exaggerating a little. Even though inventory in Hawaii is about flat in the last year, a lot of the homes for sale in East Oahu are in need of serious renovation.When I take buyers to Ewa beach or Kapolei or Makakilo, there are plenty of nice houses for sale and we get to be picky about what we look at. In fact I had over 20 homes to show a client a couple weeks ago in Ewa. But when I look for homes in Hawaii Kai, Diamond Head, or Kailua, which are my specialities, I see a lot of run do... ]]> </description>
