West Hawaii Real Estate | October 12, 2016 13 “The limited number of listings in several markets means that many available homes are receiving multiple offers and going under contract rather quickly,” says NAR President Tom Salomone, broker-owner of Real Estate II Inc. in Coral Springs, Florida. “It’s important in this situation to remain patient and not get caught up offering more than your budget allows. Find a Realtor® with experience serving clients in your desired area and rely on them to deploy a negotiation strategy that ensures success while sticking within budget.” Looking ahead, Yun says the good news is that the ratio in many areas slightly moved downward in 2015 compared to 2014 as builders started to respond accordingly to local supply shortages. However, it’ll likely be multiple years before inventory rebounds in many of the markets because homebuilders continue to face a plethora of hurdles, including permit delays, higher construction, regulatory and labor costs, difficulty finding skilled workers and the exhausting process many smaller builders go through to obtain financing. Recent NAR survey data show an overwhelming consumer preference towards single-family homes, including among millennials, who are increasingly buying them in suburban areas,” concludes Yun. “A mix of new starter-homes for first-time buyers and larger homes for families looking to trade up is needed at this moment to ensure homeownership opportunities remain in reach to qualified prospective buyers at all ages and income levels.” PROPERTY CARE “We provide personal care and check your home / condo while you’re away.” VacationHouseCheck.com Joan@vacationhousecheck.com (808) 987-1869 Est. 2005 Joan & Peter Kinchla DRYWALL CONTRACTOR Drywall Installations Hawaii Quality Licensed Professionals RESIDENTIAL • COMMERCIAL • TENANT IMPROVEMENT & REMODEL Metal Stud Framing / T Bar Ceiling Hang, Tape and Texture Demo / Rubbish Removal 808-896-3739 • dih2001@hotmail.com Ashford Alices Owner • License #C-21983 FURNITURE FURNITURE NEW & NEARLY NEW • ALSO REUPHOLSTERY • We buy, sell & trade Will pick up one item or a houseful! 329-4477 More news, more savings, more often. 329-2644 westhawaiitoday.com GATES Custom Railing Systems-Aluminum-Stainless-Glass & Cable Design-Materials-Installation Fencing & Custom Gates www.railingsystemshawaii.com btremain@railingsystemshawaii.com Bob Tremain Licensed C-25912 73-4272 Hulikoa Dr. Kailua-Kona, HI 96740 Cell: 808-938-9526 Ph.
