Big Island Hawaii Real Estate | Hawaii MLS | Homes for Sale

Early, very early, this last Saturday morning our Realtors gathered along Queen Kaahumanu Highway to pick up roadside trash and have a sweating good time.  You would not believe some of the items we found, some too trashy to mention here.

Undaunted, we will continue our efforts for such a worthy cause and are planning how our garbage collection experience might be even better next time.  Several suggestions have been made to make this activity even more fun:

1. Schedule root canal work on the same day as the outing.**
   
   
2. Do it at night.
   
   
3. Do it in the nude—“It’s too hot with the T-shirt on.”
   
   
4. Stock a bar car with blended frozen daiquiris patrolling our stretch of the highway.
   (Amazingly, there are several volunteers for #4.)
   
   
5. Set-up roadside massage tent.
   
   
6. Carry cell phone to call aid car and/or bar car!

     **  Requires a note from a dentist to be excused from getting trashy and sweaty.

Here are a few photos of our crew.  Do you recognize any of these sweaty garbage collectors?

When out and about beautiful Kona, people ask me “how’s real estate?” Real estate is great is my answer.  The president of the National Association of Realtors (NAR) recently commented about the opportunities in our current market. She (hoorah!) says: “A decade ago, mortgage rates were almost double what they are today, and they’re about one-and-a-half percentage points lower than the peak of the housing boom in 2005,” Ms. Golder said. “In addition, home prices are running about 22 percent less than five years ago when they were bid up by the biggest housing rush on record.” Thanks to realtor.org for this article and its valuable industry updates.

So, if you would like more details on “how’s real estate?”, please contact me via my website sharonmorris.com, or my cell 808-960-7080, or through my office’s website ColdwellBankerMaryl.com, the About Us menu.

Today is the First of November, and the weather in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii is a calm, clear 84 degrees.  No woolies, parkas, boots, de-icer, snow shovel, furnace setting or the like for me!
