Market Update
As you can see by scanning through the featured listings this week, many of them are either bank owned or short sales.
In addition to these distressed properties, we find that the new projects such as D.R. Horton's Opukea in Lahaina and Cottages at Kulamalu are offering some tremendous buyer incentives, as well as great pricing.
In addition to those projects, there are Towne Development's condos at Ke Ali'i Ocean Villas and brand new homes at Akolea in Wailuku.
Lastly, we are finding great values and incentives at Stanford Carr's Cottages at Kehalani and Villas at Kehalani projects in Wailuku.
Please let us know if you'd like more information about any of these projects.
Have a wonderful week.
Mahalo Nui Loa,
The Smith Team
