Hawaii Mansion Sales Look Good As You Go Higher

Here is still another example of why real estate firms and associations need to look at only publishing those statistics on home sales and prices which are favorable.

The intent is to show one area of "promise" for the largest of mansions in Hawaii to potential buyers around the country. 

However, this article, based on research from the local Coldwell Banker officials, focuses way too much on the "down" areas.

In this case, the research shows positive trends for homes priced at over $3 million. However, while doing so, it points out the reduction in sales and/or prices in the $1 million to $3 million range, which is more discouraging than helpful.

Just point out the improvement in the $3 million and up range. As I figure it, if a potential buyer that actually buys based on statistical trends wants to know who "their" price range is doing, let them contact their local real estate office to find out.

Knowing Which Home Prices Are Rising Makes A Difference

What makes this summary so interesting is that it details how rising home prices in this area are not the luxury listings and/or the higher priced listings.

The fact that this data comes from Flagstaff AZ is not as important as the trend it shows. Flagstaff is far from being the only community, whether large or small, that has this type of single family home structure.

This is where market research comes in to play for the savvy agent. Instead of wasting time pulling realty association statistics about dropping home sales, there is opportunity for a positive comparative analysis in many markets. 

If you are a potential buyer or investor, you might be able to use this research data in your favor in places where market conditions are or can be similar. If you are a real estate professional, this is the type of research which can bring you buying or selling points within appropriate communities:
