Hawaii Real Estate and the Tourism Turnaround

The past few years for Hawaii real estate and tourism markets have been a bit of a roller coaster ride. However, the stomach-turning twists and heart-dropping falls seem to be coming to an end. The Hawaii real estate and tourism markets have docked for a breather and begun to climb back to the top.

It’s hard to believe that people would choose not to visit the natural beauty of this Pacific Ocean paradise. But, a tumultuous, unpredictable economy forced many would-be tourists to make other vacation plans. Undoubtedly, Hawaii, along with many other tropical vacation spots, suffered greatly at the hands of an unforgiving economy.
However, with the economy showing some promise, Hawaii real estate and tourism are witnessing quite the turnaround. Of course, though, it’s more than a promising economy that has people returning to the shores of Hawaii. It’s a combination of things.

Escape from Winter Chills

Over the past few months, the Midwest and East Coast of the United States has been socked with snow and frigid temperatures. Between pesky ice patches and a growing case of cabin fever, it’s no surprise that people are flocking to warmer pastures.

Promotions

If the beauty of Hawaii wasn’t a draw in itself, individuals like Scott Caan, Michael Vick, and President Obama, have glorified the island nation. Between the rival of Hawaii Five-O, a popular Pro Bowl, the public vacation of President Obama, Hawaii is right staring the American public right in the face.

Safety

Hawaii offers a tropical escape without having to technically leave the country. Instead of traveling to crime-ridden island nations, people can genuinely experience serenity without looking over their shoulders.
The tourism turnaround in Hawaii can’t be attributed to one factor. But, regardless, tourism is growing and this has made Hawaii real estate a hot investment.

All website problems have been fixed and the WebCam is now working as well.

The router that the webcam was using died, which is why it was down for the past few days.

The website search function was down because the server that our domain was on died and our ISP moved us to a new Server that had different PHP configuration. To make a very long story short, it works now.

Please bear with us while we try to fix some problems that have cropped up, when our isp upgraded our server. The WebCam is also down and this may take a few more days to fix.

Sorry guys. I had to disable commenting on our blog posts. Today I received over 300 spams in the form of comments. You can always email us for Maui Real Estate comments or Web Cam comments.

It looks like it will be a little longer until we get the Oahu search working to our standards. We have the preliminary search working, BUT it’s pretty darn sluggish. You can test the search form here: http://www.mauirealestate.net/Oahu/Oahu_Search.php Please let us know what you think. Is it too slow? Or is it acceptable? We can re-do the entire search via another method, which will take some time, but the searches and listings would load WAY faster. What do you think? Should we re-do it or settle with the way it is?
