We now have 19 homes active on the Hawaii MLS, in Kailua Kona, HI. Under $400,000. !Real Estate in Hawaii has always been expensive, But - its looking pretty affordable these days. Don't forget about that government backed loan - Rural Development (I forget the official name - help if you know it)  - it is up to 102%, its available for pretty much all of the big island. You have restrictions - but it is far easier than a lot of loans out there. Shoot me an email and I can have my mortgage person talk to you about the details Aloha, and have a great day   Lance Owens (RS) (808) 936-8383 Lance@KonaHomeTeam.com www.KonaHomeTeam.com Aloha Kona Realty Inc. 78-6740 Alii Drive      Search criteria: TMK Taxkey 3-7.

As I sit here holding an open house, bored as can be. I thought to myself, living in Hawaii - doesn't really have any dangers, Some agents hold open houses without even being there - just go put up the signs, open the doors, and sit on the beach somewhere? Well they are probably doing something a little more creative than that - but you get my drift. Anyway as my mind wanders off to the dangers here, I really concentrated, dug deep in my memory banks and I could only come up with 2 - if I think of more I will update this, Here is the Number 1 Danger, sitting open house today. 1: Maybe, Just maybe there could be a Tsunami - I mean just look at where I am sitting! I also just posted a video on YouTube so that you can get the sound effects ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RD-slr5HPg&featu...

13 Condos also sold for the month - Probably a first - 13 homes and 13 Condos sold for July 2008. I have to apologize here also - I used the search parameters of July 1 - July 31, and it still shows 18, but if you actually look at the day it sold - a few are in June - don't know what the glitch is? But this gives you a good idea of whats happening here anyway. Don't forget - if your looking for a buyers agent - give me a call.
