Real estate trends all over the nation have been a bit bumpy since the housing market crisis in late 2008. However, Hawaii, like many other places continues to see jumps in home sales and home prices. Hawaii was also one of the only – if not the only, Real estate markets that were able to push through the housing crisis in better shape than many other markets around the nation. With 2012 and beyond looking up, there has really never been a better time to buy a single family-home, townhouse or condo.

One of the best things that Hawaii has going for it right now (besides the lowest interest rates in history) is the fact that there are several new developments either already selling places, or about to start the building and selling process. Even the long awaited Koa Ridge project seems to have gotten the final green light. This will be one of the more popular developments as things start to move along.

Other key developments that have allowed Hawaii to remain fairly decent in the housing market include Pacifica, Waihonua and Waikiki Cove. All of these developments offer different amenities and prices, but all also offer one of the same things; a beautiful new place to live for those who are in the market. There is also an Ala Moana project being put together as well as a project headed by Kamehameha schools. All in all, Oahu real estate looks very promising for 2012 and beyond in Hawaii.

Hawaii trends seem to hinge less on interest rates than other markets around the nation do. That being said, the current interest rates that we are seeing are the lowest on record, and it has afforded an opportunity for many buyers to get into a single-family home, townhouse or condo at an unbelievable fixed rate. We are talking low 3’s, while a high end would be in the low 4’s. It wasn’t too long ago that a 6.5 percent rate would have been considered a steal. Not anymore, as rates continue to drop and help buyers purchase homes.

There is of course an aspect or two of Hawaii property trends that have become less popular since the 2008 crisis. It seems as though so called “fixer uppers” are not quite as popular as they once were in the Hawaii market. More often than not homebuyers today are looking to get into something that they don’t have to put a lot of work in. That trend may spike back up, but right now new homes that are coming from new developments and homes that are well-maintained are definitely at the top of most buyer’s lists.

Real estate in Hawaii is only going to continue to thrive. While other markets around the nation are still struggling (Hawaii has its share of problems), the market in Hawaii is actually way above the national curve. Low interest rates and great new properties will continue to attract prospective buyers to purchase real estate in Hawaii.

Many have come to upcountry Maui, some buy single-family homes, townhouses and condos, some don’t. The fact of the matter is this. Upcountry Maui has arguably the best weather on not only Maui, but in the entire state of Hawaii. The area is also filled with space and lots of wonder, as upcountry Maui lends itself to a cowboy feel. Maybe this is why many consider upcountry Maui; “the cowboy towns of the Pacific.”

Full of busy and lazy days and many romantic nights, south Maui is where you want to be if you are looking to enjoy a coveted cowboy, ranch style lifestyle. However, just because this is cowboy land doesn’t mean that there are not plenty of single-family homes, townhouses and condos available in the upcountry Maui area. In reality, the Real Estate market in upcountry Maui does pretty well, as there is always something available for those who want to live a more secluded and laid-back cowboy country life.

Upcountry Maui is actually made up of three separate towns, all of which bring their own unique upcountry Maui flavor to the mix. Makawao, Pukalani and Kula are all waiting for you to come and take a look at.

Makawao is known as Maui's "Paniolo" or cowboy town. While the “cowboy” theme resonates throughout the area, Makawao is definitely the starting point. In the past it was a focal point for Maui's cattle industry. While it is not the ranching industry it once was, plenty of cowboys still descend on the town once a year for a famous rodeo.

There are small, quaint single-family homes available in the area, as this is what makes up most of upcountry Maui. You will probably be able to get a great deal on any number of single-family homes, townhouses or condos in the area. That being said, it just all depends on what you are looking for.

A calm, serene, country lifestyle can be yours in upcountry Maui. If you are a cowboy at heart, or are simply looking for something off the beaten path a little, then take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Real Estate layout and opportunity available to you in upcountry Maui.

Cowboys old and new are here waiting, so why not let loose your inner cowboy today? Upcountry Maui; the cowboy towns of the Pacific.
