January 2020 Market Update

Stats based on closings in December. Closed prices went up from last year at the same time. Single family homes sold faster. Why? Interest rates are low giving buyers more purchasing power and inventory is tight! Toying with selling a home this year? I’d be honored to help.

More and more homebuyers are making their pets a priority in their decision making. How about you?

https://stories.wf.com/homebuyers-pets-matter/

“What made you decide to do real estate?” That’s a question I get everyday. I lived in 9 different houses before I was 18. Growing up in Mililani, my mom worked 3 jobs just to pay rent, a car payment, and to feed me. I scrounged for 50 cents to buy a candy bar and even forged checks for Domino’s Pizza while my mom was at work. I was hungry and never want to feel that hungry again. When I realized helping others to own real estate could prevent the same thing from happening to them, it was game on. Contact me if I can help you.
