The median home price dropped from $585,000 in April, to $550,00 in May (compared to $649,000 May 2008).

Condo prices fell from $310,000 in April to $305,000 in May (compared to $337,000 in May 2008).

According to Honolulu Board of Realtors president Sandra “Sam” Bangerter, our housing market may be showing signs of bottoming out “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.”

オアフ島５月統計価格下落
ハワイ不動産協会によるオアフ島の 中古住宅物件統計 では５月の中央価格下落。

４月は中央価格の＄５８５，０００。　５月は＄５５０，０００。（去年の５月は＄６４９，０００）

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)

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。

As the economy took a turn for the worse, people started backing out for fear that interest rates will climb before the project can be completed.

Today, the building stands half-finished as construction has been stalled since December. The developer is stuck without cash and reducing prices, but people are waiting for completion. And now, to make matters worse, the the contractor is suing the developer for $30 million.

Check out the KITV story here. Stay tuned for more on this development.

モアナ　ビスタ　プロジェクト危機
２００６年にはこのモアナ　ビスタ コンドミニアム　プロジェクトを購入するのに行列をつくって購入希望者が並んだ。　　経済が悪くなるにつれ、コンドミニアムが完成するまでにローンの利率が上がるのではという不安感からキャンセルが続いた。

今の時点で建設は１２月より中途半端にも半分の状態で足止めになっている。　開発会社は資金不足、売値の値下げ、その上完成するのを待っている購入者を抱えてしまっている状態だ。　それに加えて、コントラクターからの＄３０，０００，０００の賠償裁判を掛けられてしまった。
