Market Update
According to MLS Statistics, sales were up 47% for the first 9 months as compared with the previous year excluding sales at Honua Kai.
Actual dollar amount of sales was up somewhat less (38%), due to lower average selling price.
What I also find quite impressive is the increase in our market share. In 2009, the Coldwell Banker Shops at Wailea office accounted for 12.42% of all sales, and so far in 2010, we are up to 13.89%...and that's just our one little office.
So, if you are still on the fence wondering whether or not it is good time to buy, we think the answer is yes. Don't expect a quick jump in prices as there is still a large overhang of distressed properties that we need to work through, but the deals are out there as the evidence suggests.
Have a wonderful week!
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The Smith Team
P.S. Reminder that we will be doing a drawing for a 2 night stay at The Fairmont Kea Lani Hotel at the end of 2011. Each referral you give us gets your name entered once in to the drawing.
