My Home: A series about the home buying process through the eyes of a first time home buyer.
If you recall, awhile back I posted that I my daily email updates on the Hawaii housing market was getting scarce…a few changes here and there, and then at the beginning of this week I received an update with 4 price changes…DOWN. Well, yesterday I got another update…this time with 3 more price changes and one status change from ‘In Escrow’ to ‘Active’ meaning the sale didn’t go through. One house was reduced 9.5% or $62,000!
I’m hoping this is just a blip, because I hope the slowdown is a gradual one…could this week just be an annomaly or a sign of what’s to come? If the drop happens to quickly, our economy might take a major hit…


This post has to deal mainly with the Island of Oahu, but some of it may be applicable to other islands as well. I’ll try to point out some of the sights, sounds, and tastes you have to check out while in Oahu…on the cheap…for the most part anyway.
