When Down Is Up!
May 20th, 2009 categories: Honolulu Real Estate 101, Views of Honolulu
News sources are reporting that housing starts, on the whole, have dropped significantly. Yet read into the numbers and you find a different story. The majority of the drop has been in apartment construction, but new home starts have increased!
“The decline was wholly the result of a sharp drop in ground-breaking for apartment buildings and other multifamily dwellings. Single-family home construction rose 2.8% to 368,000 in April, after rising slightly in March as well.” Read the rest of this entry »

Beautiful Honolulu Vintage Home
May 19th, 2009 categories: Honolulu Vintage Homes, Views of Honolulu
Burbank Street in Nuuanu is off of Wyllie, just past the Girl Scouts Hawaii Headquarters.
If you blink you might miss it. I was there earlier today and saw this fine example of a Nuuanu charmer. Note the curves in the roof, the top of the grand living room window and the porch. Vintage homes show so much more craftsmanship, as an example take a look at the round attic vent at the front of the home. If you are ever in the neighborhood Burbank is worth the excursion.

An Effort To “Lighten Up”
April 17th, 2009 categories: Rants & Riffs, Views of Honolulu
In a good way, it has been a very good week in my real estate business. I thought it might be good to share something to “lighten” things up for the weekend. A few weeks ago, I watched this lizard hunting on a tree just outside the front door of the home I was at. It was mesmerizing to see him jump from limb to leaf looking for a tasty bug. Have a great weekend!

Vintage Honolulu Home
March 4th, 2009 categories: Honolulu Vintage Homes, Views of Honolulu
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.

Honolulu From The Maunalani Heights Trail
March 3rd, 2009 categories: Views of Honolulu
This view can be found if your are willing to work and sweat. Just drive to the top of Sierra Drive and go to the back of Maunalani Circle. Bring a bottle of water and plan on hiking along the ridge for about an hour. Diamond Head can be seen on the left, Palolo is at your feet and Waikiki is along the shore. One of the great things about Honolulu is that there are similar hikes at the top of most ridges and they are on 10 to 20 minutes from the core of Honolulu.

Honolulu Vintage Home or Tear Down?
March 2nd, 2009 categories: Honolulu Real Estate 101, Honolulu Vintage Homes, Views of Honolulu
For those of you that have been reading my blog for a while, you know that I am a fan of older vintage homes. They offer details and craftsmanship that cannot be found in new Honolulu homes. There is a line that a house crosses when it goes from vintage to a tear down. Today’s picture is an example of one that has jumped across that imaginary line.
