Kauai Real Estate Update- The cute little townhome that I listed last week got a huge amount of activity which was what I had anticipated. For that reason I had all offers due by Thursday at noon, this allowed everyone interested to put their best foot forward on a level playing field. This strategy is a good one but it needs to be used correctly. We received multiple offers and it’s now under contract for over the asking price and we have a back up offer on it as well.
