Big Improvement in Kauai Absorption Rate

Kauai's South Shore Poipu area is an area I specialize in and I used to cringe at the awful absorption rate of condos there which rose as high as a 10-year supply.  My July post showed a decrease to the 6-year range and now it's down close to 2 years, a vast improvement. 

In the current data, our value-priced West Side homes has spiked but this may be a short-term anomaly, time will tell.

October 2010 Update
