BETTER DAYS AHEAD

With the lowering of interest rates we expect to see a surge in the buyers putting their money in the safety of Maui real estate in order to enjoy what may be a short lived interest rate drop.  Between the Seller’s becoming realistic about the values of their property and Maui becoming a bargain once again and the interest rate adjustments downward, this truly may be the TIME TO BUY.

Breaking news…A .75 drop in the fed fund!

“Today the Fed cut the Fed fund by .75.  A .5 was already built into the market but the .25 should affect short term rates, not just long term.  Usually in the past, a fed cut would not affect rates for several weeks, however the fed has never been so aggressive either in the past with such a bold move as today.  ”
