Realtor Lance Owens , your Kailua Kona, Condo Specialist, whether it is your retirement home, second home or vacation rental investment - I'm your guy So taking a look at the stats, Hawaii MLS reported Kailua Kona Condo sales were up 21.43% over November of last year - what is really impressive - Year To Date - sales show up 88% . The good news for Buyers is that the price's are still down - the good news for Sellers - there are Buyers out there - BUYING. I remember last year when prices were down, and no one was buying - that was scary! Obviously this is the driving the force and I dont see any huge red flags that it will end anytime soon.

I like to form my own opinion on what the market is doing, and I have found it to be a far better barometer of what is - REALLY - happening in the market, VS. all the "Official Reports", that are either "Market adjusted" or "Twisted" in some manor to to draw a conclusion that favors the person writing it. So this highly Scientific method of mine, I think tells the true story Of the 17 Condo sales for November - I pulled all the previous sales information on them, and found only 4 had sales around the year 2000-1 . SO -Theres no Market Adjustment, or allowance for View's- Noise - these are the exact units themselves, not something near them, similar to them, it IS THEM.  Here they are!
