Kauai & Koloa Real Estate 2008 & 2009
Graph doc
The decrease in median prices from 2008 to 2009, for Koloa residential properties, were significant enough to boost sales in 2009.
Vacant land sales did not follow suit due to many prospective buyer's inability to secure bank land loans. Most land purchases were made in cash.
Koloa condominium median prices and sales volumes seem to remain basically unaffected
by the effects of the economy.

Kauai Tsunami Watch cancelled
Tsunami warning sirens went off at 6:00am. I was wondering why my alarm sounded so different this morning. My wife and I had set our alarms for an early Saturday morning in preparation for the Mayor's Prayer Luncheon that was to be held at the Marriott today. Our church's worship team was to provide the music. 700+ people were to attend. However, after tuning in to KQNG radio and hearing the Mayor on the airwaves, we realized that the morning plans for many people were going to be cancelled or postponed.
However, at 2:00pm, an official announcement made by the Kauai Civil Defense, cancelled the tsunami watch. Mahalo to the Kauai Civil Defense team, Mayor Bernard, KQNG radio and all those involved in keeping our community informed with up to date coverage on the tsunami. And most importantly, Mahalo Ke Akua!
