Spring Break Maui

Spring Break Maui!



Can you believe that it is March all ready? We are entering spring
vacation, and things are still pretty busy. Usually I like to talk about
the Maui real estate, but I will get to that later.



I was thinking, when you plan your trip to Maui. How about
checking out Maui events. There are actually a lot of things
to do on Maui. If you like golf, there are a number of tournaments,
Kapalua Golf Tournaments, how about a concert at the
Maui Arts and Cultural Center. My wife and I just saw Michael
McDonald, and Bozz Skaggs, beautiful out door concert.

Art Maui at the MAC,is going on right now. The Castle Theater
is a world class theater for plays, circus acts from China,
how about Tony Bennett in the Castle Theater.
A fun day would include a trip out to the winery, at
Ulupalakua Ranch, a beautiful way to spend the day.


A lot of Kihei, and Wailea folks like to get off the beat
and path, and visit the old plantation town of Paia.
Everyone sooner or later passes through Paia. Sport jocks, movie
stars, locals, and musicians all gather at Paia's favorite eating
establishments. Couple of my favorites include,
Café Des Ames for crepes, and excellent curry dishes.

The Fish Market has excellent seafood food, in a casual setting. Right
acrossthe street is Flatbread. Their organic pizza is an island favorite.
Let's not forget Mama's Fishhouse, located right on the ocean
in Kuau. If you venture into Wailuku, I really like Café Olei. Food is
excellent, with a San Francisco flare to the restaurant.


How about a night out at the Maui Film Festival, offering movies at the
MAC year round. Dinner and a movie, perfect date night.
Then you don't want to miss The Wailea Film Festival, this is a big
annual evernt on Maui. So if you are checking out Maui, plan a head
for many of Maui's upcoming events.

Whole Foods has opened on Maui, and is a big hit. I like the salad and
hot food bar, for a quick bite to eat. You might even catch a movie
while you at at the Maui Mall.

On a real estate note, it has been picking up, writing a lot of contracts
and opening new escrows. I just put a beautiful Maui Meadows home
in escrow, listed at $1,499,000. Kihei has also been hot. Condo prices
from $339K for Kamaole Sands unit, to $1.4 million for Mana Kai on the
beach. So if you have any interest in Wailea/Kihei, let me know.



Upcountry Maui has some amazing properties on the market. How
about 5 acres, beautiful 2-story home, with guest quarters, ocean
views
from the north shore, to Maui's south shore.
This is a gated community for $1,999,000.

On a side note, P-2 in Hoolei went into escrow at full price. P-5 they

are looking at rising the price a couple hundred thousand at the end of
the month, So prices look like they are moving up in Hoolei. So long
for now, give me a call if I can help you in any way with your real estate
needs.
