Often the listing price of a property directly reflects the comparable recent sales and current listings in the vicinity of the property. But there are many other factors that can affect the listing price of a property. For example, the price could be inflated because of the seller’s emotional attachment to it or the price might be listed much lower than the last sale price because of a dip in the real estate market. The following is a breakdown of what the Kauai real estate market has to offer us in April.
