Aloha all, again. All this talk about the stock market and the real estate market make me recall one of my economics prof's axioms. "Timing markets is usually not the best path. Steady stock investment over time and real estate purchases based on practical need pay off better in the long run."
Relating that to this thread, if you are not a speculator and need or want property in Hawaii, make the best deal you can when you are ready and able to take the plunge and you will be fine. Choose carefully an area you feel comfortable with and live there a good long time, and your investment will have intrinsic worth. I enjoy my home far too much to worry if I got the best possible deal or bought at the best possible time. Just MHO.
