Maui Real Estate - The November 2007 numbers from the Realtors Association of Maui show the market is doing better than on the mainland.  To view the statistics go to www.JamesBFoster.com and click on Condo Sales or send me an email and I will email them to you.  The number of single-family homes (SFH) sold this year is 867 units, compared to 750 last year, a 16% increase. While the median home price is $633,000 vs. $725,000 (last year), a decline of 13%. Condo resales are approximately 901 compared to 984 last year, an 8% decrease. The Condo median price is up 4% from $512,000 to $530,000. Areas that are experiencing an "up" market in SFH median prices are Haiku (1%), Kaanapali (6%), Kapalua (12%), Lahaina (40%), Lanai (6%), and Sprecksville/Paia (1%). Kapalua had 9 sales this year versus 4 last year, with median price topping at $4,115,000. Central region and Kihei show highest number of sales with 377 units and 125 units, respectively.  Home inventory supply is at one year levels, which makes this a Buyer's market.  The historical data since 2001 shows Maui experienced appreciation rates at about 20% a year, through 2006, when the market peaked about Spring/Summer 2006.   .

The West Maui real estate market now favors Buyers and the Sellers are willing to negotiate their prices.  The current inventory of West Maui condominiums for sale is now at 485 and seemed to peak at 491 on April 18th and has bounced around close to the 500 mark since.  Properties are requiring more time to sell such as five to six months and Buyers have a much larger inventory of properties for sale to choose from.  If you’re curious about current trends in Maui real estate and where the market is headed, the answer is - it depends on Location - it depends on if it is condominium or single-family residential - it depends on whether you look at volume, average or median prices.  The current Maui real estate market looks steady with minor variations.

Some recent news about what is going on in Maui.

Weather – As I am writing this newsletter today, December 5, 2007, we are experiencing some of the heaviest rains of the last seven years.  A storm hit Oahu about 3:30 AM and as of about 9:30 AM had arrived in West Maui.  Wind gusts were in the 60 to 70 MPH range and flash flood warnings were issued throughout the islands and particularly Maui county at the present time.  Looks like the sunshine will appear Friday and Saturday but showers and wind predicted through December 14th and the tourists are not smiling.  Compared to a hurricane, this is a “piece of cake.”  All of us still feel “Lucky to be on Maui”, come visit and enjoy and go upstairs to BJs Chicago Pizzeria on Front Street and watch the fun during the bad weather!

Superferry in Hawaii – Service has not resumed on Maui and a powerful surge in Kahului Harbor ripped out two mooring bollards on Pier 2.  The service to Maui has now been delayed until December 13, 2007 or later.  Second Circuit Judge Joel August modified his order controlling how vehicles exit from the Hawaii Superferry Alakai and before the damage was expected to begin visiting Kahului again on December 1st.  Judge August gave the state Department of Transportation what it wanted, which was relief from his restriction that limited exits to two vehicles per minute.  The new requirements imposed will be three skilled and experienced traffic monitors/controllers on hand to direct traffic at the ferry entrance-exit and at the intersection of Kaahumanu and Puunene avenues when the ferry disembarks passengers and vehicles. The traffic monitors cannot be Superferry employees. At an earlier hearing, the judge expressed confidence in the Maui Police Department’s ability to manage traffic.

West Maui Skate Park – Preliminary plans unveiled the first draft of plans for a West Maui skate park as a potential future reality.  Donovan McNab of Lahaina Skate Company is leading a community effort to pursue a park for West Maui skaters.
Grindline is under contract with the County of Maui for the skate park’s design. Skaters are encouraged to visit Lahaina Skate Company, 687 Wainee St., to see the plans and submit comments on the park.

Mercedes-Benz Championship Is scheduled to take place December 31, 2007, through January 6, 2008 at the Kapalua Resort.   It will have a new viewing pavilion
that will look out over Honolua Bay, with premium seating behind the 11th tee of The Plantation Course and a great view of The Mercedes-Benz Championship. Due to limited seating, all children require tickets for admittance. For information, contact Ashley Carroll at 665-9161 or ashley.carroll@kapalua.com. The Mercedes-Benz Championship field is limited to champions from the 2007 PGA Tour season all vying for a portion of the $5,500,000 purse.  The defending this year, champion Vijay Singh, will return hoping for a second consecutive win for a grand prize of $1,100,000, a traditional Tiffany trophy and a new 2008 Mercedes-Benz CL550.  Other expected participants are Tiger Woods, Zach Johnson, Angel Cabrera, K.J. Choi, Padraig Harrington, Fred Funk, Adam Scott and Kapalua Resort resident Jim Furyk. The first round begins January 3, 2008 and continues each day with the final round on January 6, 2008.

Development and Building Moratorium - Jo Anne Johnson, Maui County Council Member, has proposed for the seventh time, a moratorium on development and future construction on Maui.  She said the world is not going to fall apart and the Maui economy will not go bust over night if the moratorium is agreed upon.  She said Maui needs to know where it is going and how it is going to get there.  Priorities need to be set and the Council needs to approach things in a logical, reasonable way so we have a plan that can be successful.  Also our elected officials need to be held accountable for the decisions they are making.  Jo Anne Johnson is eligible for reelection for only one more term and she is convinced the time for a moratorium is now.  She is 100% correct!

Mike Opaon will be missed - Mike Opaon was the husband of Karen Opaon, a cheerful woman who embodies the “Aloha Spirit” at the Front Desk of the Mahana.  Mike Opaon, like Karen was one of those people who would put a smile on your face and happiness in your heart.  Mike’s focus was on his family and two sons, one who attends Lahainaluna High School and the other a graduate. At 55 years of age, Mike was in the prime time of his life when his health took an unexpected turn, and he passed away on November 10th.

Unique Maui Christmas Gift - The Maui Grown Coffee store sits right next to the old Pioneer Mill smokestack along Lahainaluna Road and is much more than a java retail outlet.  It is one of the preserved structures from the rural past of the West Side community and one of the few agricultural business connections to the historic pages of Lahaina’ s deep and rich culture.  They promote Maui Grown Coffee and at the beginning, they researched 28 varieties and have now selected four which they market today: the Maui Mokka, Red Catuai, Yellow Caturra, and the Typica that was brought to Hawaii 100 years ago.  For further information on Maui Grown Coffee, call (808) 661-2726 or visit the store at 277 Lahainaluna Road or go to www.mauigrowncoffee

Walgreens Coming to Lahaina – The new location will be across the street from the Lahaina Cannery Mall and close to the Lahaina Gateway, a lifestyle center opening shortly. Walgreens will construct a 15,000-square-foot building with a drive-through pharmacy window with their merchandising of the store to the local community.  They are one of the nation’s biggest pharmacy chain, with nearly 6,000 drug and sundries stores.
 
Room Revenue up in Wailea – Hotel occupancy on Maui is down from 82% to 77.1%.  For the first nine months of 2007 the Wailea resorts are getting more money than resorts anywhere else with revenue per available room of $307.92.  There are fewer hotels to go to on Maui with the Kapalua Bay, Renaissance and Ritz-Carlton Kapalua hotels out of service, and the Royal Lahaina and the Wailea Marriott undergoing extensive rebuilding.
Maui’s average daily rate of $266 and RevPAR of $205 compare with the state averages of $200 and $153 and are still higher than other areas.

Dante’s Italian Eatery - Enjoy traditional Italian cuisine at the Food Court in the Cannery Mall with the newest restaurant, Dante’s Italian Eatery.  The Chef and owner Mauro Gramuglia was born and raised in Milan, Italy and his family owned a restaurant in the quaint Milan countryside.  Mauro said the idea is to have five-star restaurant food without the tag of a five-star restaurant. They have brick oven pizzas, homemade lasagna, spinach lasagna, traditional sandwiches (paninis) and Daily Specials featuring fresh fish and meat and all prices are under $16.  The food is prepared with all natural, fresh ingredients using Maui grown produce. I have ordered take out and it is excellent with wonderful seasonings!!!  The phone number is 661-3838.

Haleakala bike tours ban extended – The ban on commercial bicycle tours through Haleakala National Park will be extended until at least February.  The reason for the extension was the volume of information that the parks service has gathered, including input from bike tour companies.  That added to the upcoming holidays necessitated the analysis team needing more time to complete a review of the data.

Pass it around, please don’t feed the fishes - Various kinds of fish are becoming accustomed to being hand-fed and if not fed swarm snorkelers and divers and can get aggressive enough to actually bite the hands that don’t feed. They are being fed junk food such as frozen peas, corn, pizza crusts and cheese spread.  The guides on snorkel and dive tours feed the fishes to keep the customers satisfied.  Hawaiian reefs suffer from the hand-feeding. Once used to getting handouts, fishes that normally graze on algae and seaweed ignore the natural provisions with the reefs being smothered in the process.  Coral is created by tiny animals and should not be touched. These tiny animals need sunlight which is why reefs are relatively close to the surface. Please spread the message that everyone who enters the ocean should learn, “don’t mess with Mother Nature, or the Hawaiian god of the sea, Kanaloa”.

Medical Facilities on Maui - The Association for Improved Healthcare on Maui (AIHM) http://www.aihm-maui.org  whose mission is to serve as an advocate for the creation of a system that will provide improved healthcare services to all of the citizens and visitors of Maui County has been making some excellent progress.  For more information on making a contribution to this great cause, please visit www.aihm-maui.org/ourfriends.htm. To stay informed of what is transpiring with future approvals of either the Kihei or West Maui hospital, you can send me an email and request a subscription to the “Coconut Wireless” to either my email at Jim@JameBFoster.com or Jan@SunshineRainbows.com

Medical Task force backs West Maui hospital plan - The Maui Health Care Initiative Task Force endorsed a hospital for West Maui in a draft report issued Tuesday.  The next step is to try and get through the Certificate of Need Process which was turned down previously when the Malulani Certificate of Need hearings were being held. The task force’s endorsement of the proposal for a $70 million West Maui Critical Access Center could be a boost for the project developed by the Maui Improvement Foundation. Planners for the proposed hospital also recently won a recommendation for approval of land-use entitlements from the Maui Planning Commission, including a community plan amendment and zoning for 14.9 acres for its Lahaina campus. Maui does not have adequate facilities for its estimated population of 180,000 residents and visitors, with a forecast of 250,000 people, including tourists, by 2030. The Maui Health Care Initiative Task Force was established by the Legislature after the proposed 150-bed Malulani Hospital and Medical Center was rejected by the SHPDA administrator last year.

Real Estate & Financial Planning Tips

Death in the Family and real estate is involved - The first thing to do is to confirm that the real estate taxes and mortgage obligations have been paid. The next thing you should do is to confer with a probate attorney in your state. Typically, when a person dies, his or her property will automatically be vested into the personal representative or executor.   Until a probate case is opened, there is no executor. When the probate estate is opened, the court will appoint the executor. If there was a last will and testament, that document will most likely name the executor that the deceased had selected. If there is no will, the court will have to decide who will be appointed. If there are disputes among the family the court will appoint an outsider such as a local attorney knowledgeable about probate law and if not the court will appoint a family member.
Once the executor has been appointed the title to the property will usually be in his or her name. The executor must put creditors on notice of the death, so as to give any creditors the opportunity to file claims against the estate. This is generally done by advertising a number of times in a local paper of general circulation. After a period of time which varies from state to state, creditors can no longer file any claims against the estate. Once the creditors have been paid off, the executor can convey the house to the appropriate party or sell. 

New Real Estate Purchase Contract in Hawaii – For future sellers and buyers of real estate some of the questions you need to ask yourself and be familiar with as it relates to the Real Estate Purchase Contract are: 1) What do I need to know about my real estate purchase contract in Hawaii? 2) Why are there contingencies in the purchase contract and why are they important? 3) What information is required to open an escrow to complete a sale? 4) Why should my deposit check be held by escrow and not the seller? 5) What does the closing agent do with the deposit? 5) What papers need to be prepared and signed by both the buyer and the seller? 6) How will the real estate loan be processed if it is not an all cash transaction? 7) Which of the costs and fees of the transaction are negotiable and when should I start negotiating them? 8) What is title insurance and why is it necessary in the real estate transaction? 9) Why does it matter how I take title to the property? 10) What problems might arise during the closing process to prevent the sale or closing from taking place? 11) How can I be certain that the papers I will be signing are correct? 12) Who makes the decision regarding the closing date? 13) Can I change the way I hold title after the closing occurs? 14) What happens if my closing has to be cancelled? Would you like the answers to these questions or a copy of the new Real Estate Purchase Contract?  Send an email to Jim@JamesBFoster.com requesting a copy and the answers.

In past newsletters, I have mentioned that the easiest way to minimize the tax impact when selling is to do a tax deferred exchange.  If you have questions about tax deferred exchanges give us a call.  If you are considering selling your property in Hawaii, a tax deferred exchange will exempt you from the 5% HARPTA withholding and also the Federal Capital Gains Tax.  Planning in advance for the disposition or acquisition of assets is always a wise decision.  Another invaluable tool for sellers in doing a tax deferred exchange is having the option of using tenant-in-common (TICs) for qualifying for replacement properties.  Many property owners who currently own underperforming assets can sell those assets, taking advantage of tax deferred exchanges, and turn an underperforming asset such as land into an income producing asset.  Call me or send me an email if you would like additional information at 808-661-7994 or email Jim@JamesBFoster.com

To facilitate the tax deferred exchange process for our clients, we have placed our securities license with Welton Street Investments, LLC.  Welton Street is the leading FINRA/SIPC Member Broker/Dealer formed exclusively to work with commercial real estate professionals offering TIC (Tenant In Common) investments as 1031 exchange options and direct investments.  Welton Street works with quality TIC real estate sponsors, providing access to a broad and deep array of institutional quality TIC investment properties providing due diligence, research & securities compliance.  Welton Street utilizes three key areas of due diligence before real estate sponsors and TIC investment replacement properties are selected and presented for investor consideration: 1) Audit and Analysis of the Real Estate Sponsor; 2) Analysis of TIC Program Structure & Fees; and 3) Analysis & Underwriting of Replacement Properties.

If you are contemplating selling highly appreciated real estate during 2007 and would like for us to provide an analysis of how to best structure your transaction, please call us at 1-888-661-7994 or send us and email at Jim@JamesBFoster.com

They’ve gotten questions from callers as far away as Australia, about questions ranging from how many Oreos it would take to circle the globe to what’s the longest nontechnical word in the English language? It’s perfect for when you can’t get to Google. The hot line operates 24 hours during the week and until 9 p.m. on weekends.

Can’t Remember the Golden oldie – Call 866-411-SONG So, the next time you’re slowly going insane because you can’t figure out the name of that song, call 866-411-SONG. Hold the phone up to the song for 15 seconds, and the service will send you a text message with the title and artist. The first try is free; after that you’ll be billed 99 cents per text message.

Kindest Regards, Jim Foster
