The Maui County Rules for Your Ohana (Guest Cottage) aka Accessory Dwellings 

Are you thinking about building or buying a home or land on Maui and building and enjoying the many benefits of a guest home? Traditionally in Hawaii this has been called an "ohana" which means family! So the idea is to the live WITH your extended family. Cool concept huh?

Well, as we know it's usually better to keep them in a separate building!

All kidding aside, this is NOT something that is really that popular on the mainland,....other than the dreaded "mother-in-law" suite (an over-sized room with a bad kitchen). Either that or in reality most older relatives get carted off to the nursing home and most people hope their kids move as far away as possible! Not here.…

Maui Real Estate Watch

No question the Covid-19 / Corona Virus Hawaii lockdown has created some softening in the market - translation? 

Better deals for buyers!

Although last week DID see another $63M in sales transactions from 86 closings. Likely those deals went under contract prior to the shutdown. I don' think we've seen the full impact on closings yet. The largest closings were 0 Haneoo Rd in Hana for $2.8M and 320 South Ulukoa at $2.75M.

 

We also had 21 price reductions over 3% for an average of 9% and a total dollar volume of $5.3M for the past week. Please see the Google Sheets spreadsheet below or link here for all of the detail.

DIY Face Mask with Filter in Under 10 Seconds

 

Aloha! Have you been wondering how to make a DIY face mask? Me too.

After watching about all of the top videos on YouTube on "How to Make a Face Mask" I decided to make my own.

One that even guys can understand and execute quickly.....like in an emergency. Hello, this is NOT TIME for fancy patterns, going to the store to buy materials and/or sewing some home economics arts and crafts BS.

This is a global pandemic. Protecting you and your family from COVID19 aka the Corona Virus requires real solutions that really work, really fast.

The others mask tutorials that I tried were very time consuming. Not to mention difficult (if not impossible) to create a tight seal with the flimsy (and hard to…
