How so?

[Rogerluli]

From the chart posted, sales fell off the cliff in December...I suspect she saw that coming and posted her analysis 12/30...A bit odd not to wait for the complete year...

Single-family homes sales on Hawaii’s Big Island soar in January

single-family homes on Hawaii's Big Island jumped 30 percent in January, when compared with the same month the year before, while the median price rose 9 percent, according to Hawaii Information Service on behalf of Hawaii Island Realtor and included Puna which recorded the highest number of sales: 47 single-family homes sold, a 47 percent increase from the 32 homes sold in January 2014. Median price in the Puna district rose 16 percent to $186,270, from $160,000 in January last year.

And it's not only the Big Island:
median price of a condominium on Kauai rose 39 percent in January on fewer sales, while sales of single-family homes increased by 65 percent, according to the Hawaii Information Service

Hey - we did our part. Closed on our house in Discovery Harbour last week of January.

Still waiting on our furniture though.

Welcome to Hawaii!

[I know how you feel about the furniture. From our experience, carefully match each item with the inventory sheets and check for damage before signing-off. We were short multiple items and had some broken items.]
