I cant’ believe it’s been a year since I’ve updated this blog with monthly statistics. While a ding against my consistency, it’s also a nice way to see where we were last year and what the market felt like. Let’s take a look at the stats and compare how 2019 is shaping up versus last year.
Here ye! Here ye! Bring all your unwanted personal documents to our office for SAFE and SECURE disposal! Clean out those file cabinets! Empty those manila envelopes! It’s time to SHRRRRRRRRRRED!
Shred-It Hawaii will be at our office (1045 Mapunapuna St., behind Servco Toyota) on Saturday, April 27, 2019 starting at 9:00 am with their document shredding truck. This is a free event, sponsored by my brokerage, so bring as much stuff to shred as you’d like!
NOTE: Since this year is sponsored by my brokerage, it will not be as intimate as last year’s shred fest. I would highly recommend that you come as early as possible, and avoid any backlog that may be happening.
Volunteers will be on hand all morning collecting your shredding items for the truck. Hope to see you all there, and thank you for supporting our event!

Let’s take a step back, break down the numbers, and see if the panic is legitimate.

Whenever I talk about the federal funds rate (or fed rate), it’s usually in response to the affect it has on mortgage interest rates. In most of the news outlets as well, this angle usually spurs the most interest from potential homebuyers as they try to time the market for their home purchase. However, there is a group of people that this change could affect more, and they might have nothing to do with the home buying demographic.

Happy Fall Everyone! The leaves are beginning to turn brown…well, the leaves that are dead are brown, but the rest are still green #fallinhawaii.

What!? Fall already!? School is back in session, the REAL summer heat has set in, and real estate prices continue to set year-over-year gains. A quick shout-out before we get into the numbers, as my thoughts are with all of the people affected by the unprecedented weather in the southeast United States. I have a lot of friends and family affected by all of it, and ask that everyone do their best to help out those in need this fall!
