3. Question: When is a foreclosed kauai property not the best deal on the block. Answer: When you have a really motivated seller. That’s what you got here. This is Kauai’s least expensive one bedroom condo with full kitchen. Listed at $169,000 and seller is extremely motivated”. Based on last year’s rental income, and owner who paid $140,000 would be receiving a 4-6% return on their investment. You can afford to own a condo on Kauai, can’t you!

Great information Ron. The statistics are very interesting. Even though it feels like we have a large increase in foreclosures, our market still trails behind the foreclosure trends on the mainland.

Yeah, i think part of that is that the neighbor islands like KAUAI, Maui, and the Big Island, are primarily second home markets and thus many of the sales come from folks who are buying second homes/vacation homes. Typically, that is a more affluent person who can own a second home and our foreclosure rates would be less than in say an urban market.
