Tuesday - December 20, 2011  Compared to the mainland, Oahu has far fewer distressed type properties as we transition into 2012. Many of the distressed properties ultimately end up in a foreclosure auction at some point.  The good news is, after action taken by the Governor (signing Act 48), total properties in foreclosure dropped from over 1400 in April 2011 down to a manageable 90 here in December. Those remaining 90 will soon command market prices - now is the time to act on a purchase. For more information give me (Ron) a call at (808) 295-6186 or email at ronr@c21histyle.com today. Thank You.      (RFR).
