international buyers

Hawaii: “Due to the weakening U.S. dollar, Hawaii is attracting more international buyers,” says Caron Broederdorf-Hill, owner of Caron B. Realty in Honolulu. “During the last quarter of 2007, two of the four most expensive properties on Oahu sold to Japanese nationals.” On Maui, there have been 20 closed residential, land, and condominium sales since January 1, 2008, priced at $900,000 and above for a total of $43,852,000.
