           Oahu Luxury Homes Continue To Be Buyer's Market

This is an update to an earlier article examining the activity in the $5MM plus waterfront homes on Oahu. The article below was written in June of 2009 and since that date, another 6 homes in this category have sold out of 31 listings currently available.

That would be one home sold every 45 days more or less, which would translate to the 31 homes currently on the market providing a 46.5 month supply, assuming there were no new listings added to the inventory.

As the article below suggests, it continues to be a great time to pursue a luxury home on Oahu and to choose from a large selection. To be honest, I thought the sold homes might have been higher than the 6 I found, as the market is definately turning in the lower ranges. But as of yet, the buyer enthusiasm has not reached this price range. Here is a little breakdown for you:

3 of the sales were in the $5MM range and sold at discounts to list price of 20%, 15% and 8%.
1 of the sales was in the $6MM range and sold at a discount to list price of 15%
2 of the sales were in the $7MM range and sold at discounts to list price of 15% and 20% respectively.

For those who are paying attention, that means for the folks who are selling ocean front homes in excess of $10MM, there has not been a sale in that price range and category since August of 2008 and it could be a great time to change that.

I would love to help you find the place you've always wanted in paradise!

If you'd like to say hello, just click here Contact Michael

For the earlier article, continue below:

Enjoy the Best of Oahu ! 
                         
                     

To view the current listings Click here .

For the discriminating buyer, the possibility exists that we have now entered the best market to purchase Exclusive properties in Hawaii in years. I've created a link to a website located at the top of this article to view these properties, but thought I'd also spend some time on why I believe the market may be perfectly positioned to acquire these properties now.


                 

As we sit today in the $5MM plus market, there are currently 38 properties available. In the past 6 months, there have been a grand total of 4 sales in this price range in the criteria that I am analyzing which is waterfront properties. The last 2 of these sales were recorded in March of 2009 with the 2 other properties having closed in December and January. In other words, up to 38 homeowners have been waiting over 3 months for someone to purchase their property and no one has come forward. 



                       

At the past 6 month activity level, it would take 5 years to deplete the current supply of listings and at the past 3 month level (zero), it is what one could aptly describe as a market that could be within the complete control of a capable buyer. To put this into a historical perspective :

2008 totals         14 closed sales    17 active listings at year end (38 June '09)
2007 totals          9  closed sales         
2006 totals         12 closed sales
2005 totals          8  closed sales
2004 totals          9  closed sales

As you can tell from the numbers above, while 8 to 14 sales in this price range and category are the historical range per year, with no sales and no pending sales currently identified on the MLS for the past 3 months, what a great climate to present an offer to a seller that is cash and priced according to the current market conditions.


                

The search link below is to provide you with an idea of what is currently available. If you would be more interested in having a personalized search prepared for you or would like more information on my market feel free to contact me by email or give me a call at 808-225-3660.


              

I have made the business decision to only represent purchasers in this price range of homes which allows me to fully represent the purchaser's interests, aid in negotiating strategies and aggressively seek the best terms available for my client, the purchaser. To further avoid potential conflicts with my existing client's interests, before I am able to accept additional clients in this price range, I seek approval from my existing clients.

I often say that when I moved out here, it was like stepping out of an old life and into a new one. It's been a little over 3 years now and I have never looked back or wondered for a second if it had been the right move to make.

There was never an interest on my part to participate in a run of any kind and while I wonder at that, I'm glad to be doing so now. It is a fundraiser for cancer research and since that is a topic close to my heart (or should I say butt : ) I look forward to doing it.

If you left with anything from this post, I would hope it might be to investigate this website Team In Training website . I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people while I was participating in this and found them to be warm and generous people who donate their personal time and energy for something important to them for so many different reasons. The common theme could only be described as to make a difference.

When I went to the Honolulu Marathon as a cheerleader and supporter for our daughter Kate who introduced me to the program, the one thing I found was that there was no specific profile. There are all shapes and sizes who do that every year and as simple as that, running changed from something beyond my realm to within my world if I wanted it to be. And I do live in a great place for morning and evening runs.

So, in a week, I will be plodding along like a Clydesdale down the Nimitz highway and no matter what my body is telling me, I know my heart will be feeling good and I'll be feeling good because I actually did it.

Of course, since this is a fundraiser, it would be rude to not give you the opportunity to contribute if you wished to. It's real easy... just click HERE
