This time of year it’s common to see the whales migrating south, but you never take their beauty for granted.
What a view…whale watch from this Kohala Ranch home. Visit custom website →
I had an opportunity to visit our Kohala Ranch open house at 59-0541 Pueo Place (MLS# 225447) and from the over 900 sq. ft lanai, not only was the 180 degree ocean view breathtaking, but the sight of the whales jumping out of the ocean and their spouts blowing water was spectacular.

From your farmer, the president.
My fish pond is suffering, the taro is wilting and tangerines are not getting picked. It has been a busy, but very fast first two months. My term officially started Jan. 1 and I actually got 4 days off before we had our first executive board meeting. Since then, I have traveled to Hilo, Lihue, Palm Springs, Washington DC, and to Honolulu 8 times. Additional, I opened a new real estate office on Maui as BIC. In my spare time, my son Jeremy and I closed 6 escrows and took 8 new listings. Now you know why my chickens don’t get fed unless my wife Laura or my daughters Chloe and Brianna do it.

I came across this incredible time-lapse photography piece of the Milky Way and stars as seen from the summit of Mauna Kea on the Big Island.
It’s stunningly beautiful, and we’re able to see it because of the lack of light-pollution on the Big Island…which for me is such a powerful reminder of all the other types of pollution that Hawaii is so blessed to be without Read entire post →

The big news in Waikoloa Village homes sales is…short sales.
The average Waikoloa Village real estate residential sales price (year to date) is $333,722, negotiated down from an average listing price of $357,200. Wondering where a sales price of $335,000 fits into the historic pattern of Waikoloa Village sales?
As you can see, the chart was bouncing around the $350,000 range before it took a bit of an upturn in the last quarter. March sales are yet to be reported, but at this point it appears the amount of distress sales are having an impact on pricing in the Waikoloa Village home market. Read entire post →

The details are not spelled out yet but there have been several proposals. Read entire post →
