If you&#8217;re like most first time home buyers, you probably think you need to purchase a condominium because houses here are too expensive.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.minekokawamura.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/porch1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1117" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="1649 Leilehua Ln A" src="http://www.minekokawamura.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/porch1-410x307.jpg" alt="1649 Leilehua Ln A" width="266" height="199" /></a></p>
<p>Well there&#8217;s a very <a title="1649 Leilehua Ln A" href="http://www.minekokawamura.idxco.com/idx/3531/details.php?idxID=105&amp;listingID=1111403" target="_blank">charming single family house</a> in Honolulu that&#8217;s available at a condo price. It&#8217;s not a <a title="What is CPR/Subdivisions?" href="http://www.abeleerealty.com/HawaiiRealEstateInformation/CPR-Subdivisions.asp" target="_blank">CPR</a> so there are no condo maintenance fees. In addition, the entire house has been recently renovated and includes a new kitchen and bathroom. All kitchen appliances and washer are brand new. And there&#8217;s also yard space for gardening.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re interested in learning more about this little gem near downtown Honolulu, please <a title="Contact me" href="http://www.minekokawamura.com/en/contact.html" target="_blank">contact</a> me.</p>
<p>人生において家の購入は大きな事でストレスの元、特に予算内に完璧なものを見つけるのはほとんど不可能に近いものがある。同感している不動産購入初心者の多くは経済的理由で一戸建てをあきらめコンドミニアムに焦点を絞っている。</p>
<p>実は、ホノルルの中心でとても<a title="1649 Leilehua Ln A" href="http://www.minekokawamura.idxco.com/idx/3531/details.php?idxID=105&amp;listingID=1111403" target="_blank">チャーミングな一戸建ての家</a>がコンドミニアムしか買えない値段で売りに出されている。　コンドミニアムのように<a title="CPR／サブディビジョンとは？" href="http://www.abeleerealty.com/HawaiiRealEstateInformation/CPR-Subdivisions.asp" target="_blank">共同使用区間</a>がないので管理を毎月支払わなくていい。それに、真新しいキッチン、浴室を含め　この家は最近プロに手直しされている。台所家電や洗濯機も新品である。</p>
<p>ホノルルダウンタウン近郊にあるこの小さな宝石箱のような家、ご興味がある方は<a title="こちら" href="http://www.minekokawamura.com/en/contact.html" target="_blank">こちら</a>までお問い合わせください。</p>

<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-930" title="homeimprovement2" src="http://www.minekokawamura.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/homeimprovement2.jpg" alt="" width="356" height="158" />Have you ever considered renovating your home? There are dozens of home improvement television shows that will inspire you to turn your home into your dream home… yourself.</p>
<p>But in reality, there&#8217;s a lot more detail involved than what you see on TV. And it&#8217;s not uncommon for the novice do-it-yourselfer to run into problems, go over budget and take much longer finish the project than they initially planned (if they finish at all). Sometimes it may just make sense to find the perfect home, instead of building it (or renovating it) yourself, where someone else already dealt with the headaches of the renovation.</p>
<p>I know of such a home.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s <a title="415 South St, Makai 3303" href="http://www.minekokawamura.idxco.com/idx/3531/details.php?idxID=105&amp;listingID=1011722" target="_blank">great listing</a> with an unobstructed ocean view that has been fully renovated this year. A total of $115,000 was put into renovations to convert this spacious one-bedroom unit into a dream home.  The listing is being offered at $579,000 and is in perfect move-in condition.</p>
<p>You won&#8217;t see a deal like this on a TV show.</p>
<p>自分でするリホーム考えた事ありますか？　 たくさんあるリホームのテレビ番組を見てい ると自分でドリームホームを創ってみたくなりますよね。</p>
<p>でも、実際はテレビで見ているよりもっと難しくて、初めての人だと面倒くさい事ばっか  りになったりするなんて結構あるみたいです。予算オーバーしたり、予定より時間がかか  ったり。時には自分でドリームホームを創るよりもう実際にドリームホームに近いものを  買うほうが良かったりします。それだと頭痛のしそうな面倒なことを自分は対処しなくて  いいですよね。</p>
<p>そんな物件知っています。</p>
<p>今年完全リホームされた１寝室タイプのコンドミニアムでそこから見える海の景色は最 高。１１万５千ドルほどリホームに費やされた　 この広い１寝室タイプはまさにドリーム ホーム。</p>
<p>テレビなんかではこんな物件なかなか紹介されないですよね。</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>According to the Hawaii Board of Realtors <a title="May Residential Resales Statistics" href="http://www.hicentral.com/press/PR052009.htm">residential resale statistics</a> for Oahu, median home prices dropped in the month of May.</p>
<p>The median home price dropped from $585,000 in April, to $550,00 in May (compared to $649,000 May 2008).</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">Condo prices fell from $310,000 in April to $305,000 in May (compared to $337,000 in May 2008).</span></p>
<p>According to Honolulu Board of Realtors president Sandra &#8220;Sam&#8221; Bangerter, our housing market may be showing signs of bottoming out &#8220;Single-family home sales rebounded a bit in May and the sales speed of 49 days was faster than at the same time last year. While prices were lower for single-family dwellings, the condominium median price has been holding quite steady at just over $300,000. These are just some of the signals that our housing market may be starting to return to normalcy.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>オアフ島５月統計価格下落<br />
</strong>ハワイ不動産協会によるオアフ島の <a title="５月住宅売りだか統計" href="http://www.hicentral.com/press/PR052009.htm">中古住宅物件統計</a> では５月の中央価格下落。</p>
<p>４月は中央価格の＄５８５，０００。　５月は＄５５０，０００。（去年の５月は＄６４９，０００）</p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-small;">コンドミニアムは４月で $310,000　５月は $305,000 (昨年は５月は $337,000)</span></p>
<p>ハワイ不動産協会会長のサンドラ　サム　バンガーターによると　住宅市場は底をついた兆しを見せているようだ。５月の一軒家売り上げはリバウンドで、昨年の同時期に比べると４９日も売り上げに掛かる日数が早まっている。　一軒家の住宅価格は下がったにも関わらず、コンドミニアムの中央価格は$300,000強を少し動くくらいで安定化をみせている。　このような事から住宅市場回復の兆しを見せ始めているのがわかる。</p>
