Hoakalei named America`s best golf course

HOAKALEI COUNTRY CLUB NAMED BEST GOLF COURSE
IN THE U.S. AND AMERICAS

HONOLULU (December 7, 2010) — Hoakalei Country Club is the Best Golf Course in the United States and Americas, according to The Americas Property Awards 2010 in association with Bloomberg Television. Created by Ernie Els Design, the golf course is part of the award-winning, master-planned Hoakalei Resort community, located in ‘ Ewa Beach , Hawai‘i.

Hoakalei Country Club and golf course is part of a 726-acre master-planned resort community being built on former sugar cane lands on the southwest coast of O‘ahu. Destined to become Hawai‘i’s most coveted resort destination, once complete, it will feature a full-service marina, luxury hotel, spa, Hawaiian cultural center, shops, restaurants and residences in a vibrant, oceanfront environment.

The par-72, 7,400-yard championship golf course overlooks O‘ahu’s stunning western coastline and features four sets of tees to accommodate golfers of all levels. Spanning 248 acres of open vistas, the course also offers water features on most holes and strategically placed bunkers throughout to enhance the experience for both the competitive and recreational golfer.

Established 16 years ago, the International Property Awards is the world’s most prestigious competition dedicated to finding the most outstanding properties across the globe and distinguishing real estate companies with the highest levels of achievement in more than 20 categories. Winners are identified as organizations that continually raise the standards of the real estate industry by providing excellent skills and services, and continually reach new heights in quality and innovation.

“The partnership between Ernie Els Design and Haseko has been a success since its inception. We were extremely impressed by the amount of time the design team took to not only study the golf course site, but also to understand Hawaiian culture,” said Toru Nagayama, president of Haseko Development, Inc. “The end result is a beautiful golf course that is truly designed and tailored to reflect a Hawaiian sense of place.”

Hoakalei Country Club was also voted one of the best new courses of 2009 by the prestigious Links magazine. Speaking on the eve of the Nedbank Challenge in South Africa , Ernie Els said, “Hoakalei being recognized again as one of the best new golf courses in the United States is a great honor and very gratifying.”

The results of International Property Awards were presented at a gala event at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in Hyde Park, London , on Nov. 26 and 27, 2010. Entries from the top-scoring winners of the Americas Property Awards competed against other winning companies from Europe and Africa, the United Kingdom , the Middle East and Asia-Pacific to find the ultimate World’s Best in each category. Company entries were judged by a panel of well-regarded real estate professionals, representing the national and international publishing industries, media, realtor associations, building councils, as well as the architecture, interior design and relocation communities.

Market update for 9/12/2010

Aloha ,

   Ewa Beach`s real estate market is picking up along with the entire state of Oahu . We are starting to see the market home price rise about 15% from this same time last year. The median home price for August 2009 was $560,000 which rose  to $645,000 for a single family home on the island of Oahu. Also we did see fewer homes sales from this same time last year about a 6.2% drop from 239 August 2009 to 224 of August of 2010. What this means is that Homebuyers are buying up well priced homes due to our drop in inventory which is making home sellers are getting offers at or over their asking price. In the condominium arena we also have seen a rise in prices from this same time last year . August of 2009 median prices were $290,000 which rose this year of August to $307,500 up 6%. This is showing that are real estate market on Oahu is strentghenting . Also another indicator of a active busy market is the average days on the market from the time a home is list until it gets an accepted offer and opens escrow. Single family homes days on the market is down from 49 day in August of 2009 to 32 days of August of this year. What we are seeing is alot of step up homebuyer`s selling their old residence and purchasing a newer and bigger home, this is possible because this homeowners have a great amount of equity which they can use towards there down-payment of there new home. Also low interest have spiked a huge boom in homeowners in refinancing there home and purchasing an investment property to fund there retirement in the near future.

In the Ewa Beach area I have been seeing well priced homes sell either at or above there asking price. One incident was I had a client in which I put an offer on a home in Leeward Estate which showed well and also priced below market value. This home received 30 offers and sold $30,000 over asking price. This is a sign that homebuyer`s are flocking to Ewa Beach to get more home for the money and in newer condition, and really this is the only area on the island to do this. Also what is attracting alot of buyer`s are the new development underway in the Ewa Beach and Kapolei area, which will make this area a place where homeowner`s can live work and play.  Call for a Free CMA and see what your home is worth today.

USDA 100% FINANCING – HAWAII

USDA 100% FINANCING – HAWAII

It is hard to beat the flexibility and great rates of USDA rural housing loans. These programs are geared toward homebuyers who live in rural areas of the Country and who have little to no money to put down. USDA rural housing loan programs offer flexible, common sense underwriting guidelines, relaxed credit requirements, no PMI (private mortgage insurance) options, the ability to finance closing costs into the loan amount, lenient seller concessions, and rates that are comparable to, if not better than, conventional fixed rate mortgage programs.

USDA Rural Housing Loan Program Highlights:

  • Loans may be for up to 102% of the appraised value or sales price (whichever is lower). A one time 2% guarantee fee can be included in the loan which is how the loan can go up to 102%. This feature allows buyers to finance this expense into the loan amount versus paying it out of pocket.
  • No PMI (private mortgage insurance)
  • Secure, fixed-rate 30 year mortgages
  • Sellers can assist with paying the buyer’s closing costs
  • Little cash reserves needed for qualified borrowers.
  • Minimum Fico of only 620 needed.
