Are London & Honolulu Real Estate Related?
February 5th, 2010 categories: KU Realty
I am going to comment on a place I have never been and know nothing about. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that the London real estate market is very strong.
“Looking at the real estate listings here is like stepping back in time to that unreal, giddy world of three years ago—before Lehman, before subprime, before AIG. Back to a period when everyone was either rich or on their way, either from flipping condos or running hedge funds, and the only direction was up.” CLICK HERE TO READ THE WALL STREET JOURNAL ARTICLE
What does this have to do with the Honolulu real estate market? London may suffer from the same lack of inventory that the Honolulu has been experiencing. If supply is low and demand is up, then one would expect upward pressure on prices and competition for good properties. I guess Honolulu and London have more in common than the Union Jack.

Vintage Honolulu Home
March 4th, 2009 categories: KU Realty, Rants & Riffs
This past Saturday I was picking up one of my son’s friends and I had to take a picture of his home. Everything about this house took my breath way! Pay close attention to the roof-line, roofing material and board and batten siding. It is not for sale, but it is truly a terrific example of Hawaiian vintage architecture.

Help With Honolulu Vintage Homes?
January 23rd, 2009 categories: KU Realty
Those of you that have read my blog for a while know that I like Honolulu’s homes that have a vintage character. Whenever I am on the road and find a home that I like, I snap a picture and post it here. Too many times I see these beauties being torn down to make way for new “Mcmansions”. Maybe one day the photos you and I post will be a good record of Honolulu’s past architecture. Here’s your chance to help me, when you see a home that you think I could use in a post, just do the following.
1. Take a picture of it in the largest possible format. Cell phone photos are OK.
2. Note the address or street.
3. Email me the photo, address or street name to keahi@lava.net
4. Check my blog to see that it was posted.
Note that I reserve the right to post the ones I like and don’t take any offense if I don’t use it.
Today’s vintage home is in Manoa. Fresh paint and different accent colors could make this home very charming. Here is a little sarcasm, how do you like the blue recycling garbage can? Honolulu-ites now have 3 of them blue, green and grey. Funny that trash cans now litter our yards and streets.

Not The Pirate Code!!!
August 12th, 2008 categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, KU Realty
I am a Realtor. I am sure you have seen the advertisements, but I am not going to assume that you know why there is an advantage to working with a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR). Sure, we all sell real estate, but what binds NAR is our Code of Ethics (the Code). The 17 terms in the Code provide a set of standards all Realtors agree to play by. In my opinion, the vast majority of Realtors which I have worked with take these standards to heart. For the few that don’t, the Code creates the mechanism through local Boards of Realtors to ensure that standards are met. I thought you would like to know. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CODE.

Reasons To Sell Your Honolulu Real Estate-1031 Exchange
April 16th, 2008 categories: KU Realty
Before you consider an IRC Section 1031 Tax Deferred Exchange you will want to seek counsel from your financial advisor, CPA, accountant, attorney and qualified experts in 1031 Exchanges.
After all of my chatter about the value of owning Honolulu real estate, I’ll bet you’re wondering, “Why should anyone ever sell something they own in Honolulu?” And my answer is, the only reason to sell is if you have something better to do with the money or if you can do something with it that is more meaningful to you. I will spend the next few months writing blogs about “Reasons To Sell Your Honolulu Real Estate”. This blog is the first of what will be many installments in this series.
Let’s assume that you live in the outside Hawaii and have owned a property here for the past 20 to 30 years. You were stationed here with the military, your career brought you or you are someone who grew up here. In any case, you don’t see yourself moving back to Honolulu and you have all of this equity built up in your piece of the rock. Homes in Honolulu can easily be $1,000,000 and condos can cost $500,000. If you sell, you are looking at a combined State of Hawaii and federal capital gains rate as high as 22.25% of you long term gain. Read the rest of this entry »
