Here are the latest list of Kauai Short Sales and Kauai foreclosures for the last two weeks.
Sub $100K Kauai condo without kitchen.
1) Listed at $75,000, Unit 126 (MLS# 232544) at the Kauai Beach Resort is in building 1 with an ocean view. Many people are attracted to a Kauai condo at the sub $100,000 price. It’s crucial to know that this unit is a hotel room and does not have cooking facilities. It DOES however have consistent revenue as the Kauai Beach Resort is a wonderful place to stay and vacation.
This is one of the lesser priced homes on Kauai’s eastern shores.
2) This small home on Puka St. (MLS# 232705) on the northern end of Kapaa is not quite a short sale but for an offer under $220,000 it will most likely become one. Read entire post →

How banks function in distressed property sales, like short sales or REO (real-estate-owned by banks) transactions.
On a clear day, you can see forever…or is that Niihau?
From this totally remodeled home (MLS# 219726), you can see all of Poipu, Port Allen and west to Niihau. Perched above Kalaheo, this 3,000+ sf home has been completely redone.
This Kalaheo short sale has been approved by the lender which means you can avoid the delays typically associated with short sales (close in two weeks if you so wish).

Hawaii had quite the weekend, with the eyes of the world watching to see what the tsunami would bring. We’re grateful that there was no loss of life, or even damage to property… and it was great to see the coordination of the State and local officials to effect such a successful and efficient evacuation.
My wife and I were in Los Angeles for a wedding… and despite the fact that we didn’t have television where we were staying, I was able to stream all of the local news stations online and, perhaps even more impressive, watch information and links to resources pour into Twitter. The conversation around the tsunami emerged as the leading topic of conversation on Twitter. People sent in photographs, links to buoy readings in the Pacific, videos of the ocean as the series of waves came ashore. It was an incredible testament of the power of the information age.
Here’s a recent video that illustrates the growing number of internet use and social networking. The numbers referenced are astounding.
It seems so simple: put some seeds in the ground, water them, harvest the results. But anyone who’s experienced the joys and frustrations of growing a vegetable garden knows how thoroughly complex it can be. Multiply that by 10, or a hundred, and you’ve got the life of a farmer.
So, we are very thankful for people like Glen Hontz. Glen is going to be launching a 15 week Organic Gardening and Farming training program on March 4, at the Kauai Community College, meeting for 5 hours every Thursday till June. Read entire post →
Valuable info provided by NOAA's Pacific Tsunami Warning Center
The threat of a tsunami wreaking havoc on the people and infrastructure of Hawaiian island shores has passed! We dodged a bullet!!
Authorities confirmed that a tsunami generated by the 8.8 earthquake off Chile did indeed hit the Hawaiian island chain, reaching the Big Island first with diminished effects as it headed N/NW.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s “Pacific Tsunami Warning Center” is fully prepared for this type of event, (even though the last state-wide tsunami warning was over 25 years ago). Read entire post →
We’ve recently listed what we believe to be two of the finest homes on all of Kauai. Although they’re adjacent to each other, they’re definitely distinct from one another.
Situated on a ridge overlooking Kalihiwai Bay, the valley, and the river on one side, and the surf and reef at Anini on the other… these two homes make a powerful statement: If you’re going to have a luxury ocean view home on a bluff top on Kauai, be sure your architect and builder know what they’re doing. Location, Vistas, Privacy… these are all things we know to think of…
But structure, maintenance, long-term care, durability… these are “intangibles”, that only come with experience. On Kauai, a house has to be built to handle sun, wind, rain, and… if you’re close to the ocean, salt. Concrete, stone, hardwoods, copper… and an intense focus on how to design these elements all combine to provide the substantial quality of these homes. Read entire post →
If you were like me a few years ago and someone asked me to get a Hawaii home energy audit, I would have called my CPA to schedule one!
While we see Hawaii becoming more energy conscious, this term has not been familiar….until now. A Home Energy Audit, in a nutshell, is an evaluation of the energy consumption of your home and of your energy usage patterns.
We in Hawaii have different comfort issues to deal with…hot rooms that don’t cool down quick enough, air conditioned spaces that are either too cold or not cold enough. We need to understand these issues as it relates to a “Hawaiian Style” home. Read entire post →
Taro fields, palm trees, waterfalls, mountains. The dynamic scenery that surrounds you in Hanalei, Kauai makes you never want to go inside.

As you walk in the front door, the aesthetic beauty of wood and stonework greets you. Every room is filled with natural light.
