Housing inventory has started to decrease though, and if it continues for the next few months could lead to another change to the housing market.  With limited inventory and an increase in demand during the anticipated summer months, home prices may continue increase.  Historically low mortgage interest rates will continue to aid home buyers.

I am seeing an increase in activity in certain neighborhoods.  Homes are receiving multiple offers early on.  Be persistent in your search for a home, in time, you will be rewarded.

The market has changed from just a few years ago, and will continue to change.  This is the new normal.   The best time to buy or sell a home is a personal decision.  Only you will know when it’s your time.

Philips has unveiled a new super energy efficient LED light bulb today.  I have an older version and am very happy with it.  The price is a little steep, but the bulb is reported to last up to 10 years or more and will save consumers money because we won’t need to replace bulbs as often.  The color is good too.

With photo-voltaic systems gaining ground, solar water heaters, and LED light bulbs.  You can start to do your part and preserve the Earth’s environment for future generations.

I came back in the early evening with my family and found a parking stall at the rear of the parking lot.  We finally entered the store and felt the positive energy and vibe of the new store.  You’re first greeted with the fresh fruits and vegetables section, each labled with where they came from.  As you walk through the section, you see a “poke” bar.  We were given a sample which tasted great!  Next you’ll see the raw poultry, pork, and beef.  As you continue through, you’ll see bakery items.  We bought 2 cupcakes and 1 coconut cream pie.  They tasted so good!  There’s also the food bars where you can build your own meal.

As you walk through the store, you see many organic-type products.  I can’t wait to try them, it’s great to see a new mix of products coming into the Kailua neighborhood.  There’s so many things to see in this new store.  The Whole Foods Market seems to be a good fit for Kailua.
