That’s right — as of May 2025, there are no homes available for sale on this coveted hillside, creating a unique window of opportunity for sellers and fierce competition among buyers... Read More

Whether you're a buyer, seller, or investor, understanding how these two neighborhoods compare can make all the difference in your next real estate move... Read More

If you are attempting to market on your own these days it can be a daunting task.  You have a website, which is a project in itself keeping content up to date as well as making sure all your SEO stays up to date with Google's everchanging algorithms.  Then on top of that you have the growing popularity of social media and the dozens of popular platforms.  We will take a brief look at which platforms may be best for you.While this graph outlines which social media sites are the most popular it does not necessarily mean as a real estate professional they will generate business.  For example, LinkedIn is a popular site and is probably better used for networking with other agents or companies, but not as much for generating direct business traffic.On the other hand, YouTube still is probabl...

Today’s Inman News headline reads:“Existing-home sales fall to slowest pace since 2009 amid rising costs.”That may be true nationally—but not here in North Kona.While the mainland sees pullbacks, our local data paints a different picture. From January through March 2025, both home and condo sales in North Kona are up—eclipsing 2024, 2009, and even 2008 numbers.📊 North Kona YTD Sales (Jan 1–Mar 31): 2008: 69 Homes | 47 Condos 2009: 42 Homes | 33 Condos 2024: 104 Homes | 67 Condos 2025: 107 Homes | 82 Condos This isn’t just a rebound—it’s sustained confidence. Buyers are still buying. Sellers are still selling. And the market is still moving.It’s a powerful reminder that real estate is local. National headlines don’t always reflect what’s happening in our neighborhoods, our communities, o...

Off-market listings — sometimes called pocket or private listings — have always carried big risks for sellers.While they’re sometimes pitched as a way to stay “private” or “in control,” the truth is simple: limiting exposure usually limits your results. Unless there’s a real need for privacy, keeping a home off the open market can cost the seller.Starting in May, Zillow — the country’s largest real estate portal — will permanently prohibit any listing that isn’t added to the MLS within 24 hours of public marketing.If a home is marketed to any buyer, it must be available to every buyer — or it won’t appear on Zillow or Trulia at all.(And yes — even those of us with a love/hate relationship with Zillow know that's where buyers are looking.)This change follows updates to NAR’s Clear Cooper...

But Carmen is a fiery gypsy with an appetite for smuggling and for powerful men. When she abandons him for a charismatic bullfighter, Don José’s infatuation turns to murderous obsession. What fate, or choice, waits for the woman no man can tame?Carmen will be presented in a staged concert version with the orchestra on stage, fully visible to the audience and part of the landscape of ...

So you’re getting ready to sell your home and starting to interview agents.You might hear advice about keeping your listing “exclusive” — meaning only marketed within one brokerage — instead of putting it out freely to the open market.At first, it can sound appealing. Maybe it’s pitched as a way to stay “private” or “in control” of the process.But before you make that decision, it’s important to understand what’s really at stake — because how your home is marketed can make a big difference in how much you ultimately sell for.Imagine trying to sell your car by telling just a few people at your office — no ads, no internet, no real exposure. Would you expect to get the best price?The only reason I bring up the car example is because most of us have sold a few cars over the years. It’s som...
