January 17, 2023 By Nick Kawakami

It may have been a full year, but this market is changing fast

Happy new year! I hope your holidays were full of family, fun, and health!

This summary is an in-depth look at last years market, as well as some opinions on what to look forward to in 2023!

June 2022 Real Estate Market Recap & Opinion

July 15, 2022 By Nick Kawakami

Summer is here, but is the “heat” still in the market?

As I write this article, I’m looking out my window at a torrential downpour and wondering, “aren’t we in summer?” And like the weather, the current real estate market has been SUPER interesting/confusing, as we see uncorrelated trends throughout all the stats. Let’s dive deeper into the stats to see exactly what is going on!

2022 Hurricane season starts on June 1st

June 1, 2022 By Nick Kawakami

Are you prepared?

Don’t wait for the hurricane alerts! Follow these precautions now to ensure the safety of your family and home!

While some natural disasters are infrequent (like tornadoes), Hawaii is geographically positioned to be high-risk for Pacific hurricanes. From June 1st to November 30th, our risk becomes even greater as we enter “hurricane season.” And while NOAA is predicting a lower-than-normal hurrican season, it’s still important to make sure you are prepared if a storm should hit. Below are some guidelines and resources you can use to get yourself ready this year!

April 2022 Real Estate Market Recap & Opinion

May 6, 2022 By Nick Kawakami

It’s spring! These April showers are late!

It’s been weird weather this year right? Seems the rains we’ve been experiencing over the past couple weeks have showed a little late this year, as I’m used to May being the beginning of the hot summer months! All signs seem to be showing a drier year overall for the island, so remember to conserve water this summer and check out the Board of Water Supply’s website for tips on how to do that! We all need to do our part to conserve this year, especially with the Red Hill wells closed.

Sea-level rise disclosure law goes into effect

May 3, 2022 By Nick Kawakami

Sophie Cocke/Civil Beat/2014

This week, Hawaii became the first state to require sellers to disclose if their property is within the sea-level rise zone. From the north shore to Kakaako, the State of Hawaii published a map showing where to expect the damage, with an estimated $19 billion in property losses to 20,000 residents. All within the next 30-40 years. This pairs with the recently published report by the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration’s 2022 report, estimating a foot of sea-level rise in the next 30 years. With climate change facing us more and more, buyers will need to think harder about where to invest their money as rising sea levels will mean more homes affected.
