Aloha from Paradise! 🌴
No matter the interest rates, buyers are eagerly entering the housing market. Open houses are seeing an influx of visitors and realtors report that sellers have increasingly been having to choose between multiple competing offers! Even with recent market movements, it’s clear that the real estate market here on the big island of Hawaii is far from slowing down as home-buying activity continues to remain strong.
This month, I had buyers who submitted competing offers where the seller chose highest and best. There are some homes that are sitting longer due to how high they have entered the market, but in essence, if the property is priced right and is presented turnkey… it will sell!
I would love to be of service if you need assistance with buying or selling. As always – I am here to help ❤️

Business Highlight: UMEKE'S
Have you visited Umekes Restaurant in Kailua Kona? This is one of my favorite restaurants in town! I had the pleasure of speaking with Nakoa Pabre, who is the owner and operator of this amazing restaurant. We talked about how he started the restaurant and what makes him a successful operator in Hawaii. ❤️
