PENDING RATIO = NUMBER OF PENDING SALES DIVIDED BY ACTIVE LISTING TIMES 1. THE HIGHER RATIO = STRONGER MARKET DEMAND vs. SUPPLY. Why it is a useful indicator: 1) It is a current leading indicator of market Demand vs. Supply Dynamics based on Pending Sales (Ac & U) and Active listings (A) from MLS Data. 2) It is a readily available useful indication or market strength when tracked over time it shows market trend. 3) It can be used as a "Litmus Test" of market strength for any market niche with sufficient MLS active listing and pending sales data.

Escrow are off from this time last year. Closed sale continue to improve. Sales in the last 3 days are up 73% from last years count. The increase in inventory and drop in escrow number have caused the Pending Ratio to dip. This decline is seasonal, but none the less it is off from last year when prices were 6% lower. $6 $432 $439 $449 $465 $473 $488 $ $4 $3 $2 $1 The following Color Codes describe what the ratio numbers mean in terms of the type of market.

Median Price appreciation has backed off to a more sustainable 9%. Land trend seems to be following the condo market fairly closely in both Median Price and Pending Ratio. See Chart 9 The dip in Pending Ratio in August could be related to the stock market tumble at that time? Both Condo and Land markets, being heavily investor oriented, do seem to follow shifts in other investment markets. Stocks have recovered nicely. It will be interesting to see if Condo and Land market do the same?

We are still dealing with the effects of the bubble, but the market seems to be in step with the basic cyclical pattern. I believe the huge bubble and following deluge of distressed properties will extend what might have been a normal 12 year cycle by 2 additional years in this current cycle making it around a 14 year cycle? Any other major economic upsets like mini-recessions or catastrophic events would extend it further. Time will tell. One difference in the current cycle is the sharp price growth soon after market bottom in 211. price growth trend until the last few years before peak. Previous cycles did not exhibit this sharp This trend we see now may be due to the fact unprecedented BUBBLE followed by equally sharp decline, Just as the BUBBLE overshot the top of the normal cyclical trend the following contraction in price overshot the bottom. The Fed stepped in holding interest rates low, offering tax credits and the bargain prices caused a rush of investors and first time home buyers. Prices shot up as the distressed properties sold off the median price rose quickly with the absence of low priced inventory and increasing activity in the higher price levels. Now we seem to be back to a more normal market and cyclical trend. Historical trends suggests that this unique BUBBLE effect may lengthen the time period for this current cycle by a couple of years. It is likely that when the 215 data is added we will see a relatively flat year of price appreciation, under 1%. The sales data for the Chart is from 22 subdivisions with combined total of over 3,9 lots. These homes generally are similar in lot and home size. The price range in 214 was from $292, to $73,. The data totals over 69 new and resales over 43 years. Historical record suggest we have several more years of price appreciation ahead.

8 PAGE 8 TABLE 1 - KONA & WEST COAST CITIES RESIDENTIAL INVENTORY - OCTOBER 31, 215 NOTE: It has been the goal of this Kona vs. West Coast section of the Griggs Report to find a reliable data presentation that illustrates the time lag between the N. Kona Residential market (by association the Hawaii Island real estate market) and the West Coast. Originally the inventory data was the only data studied. The only notable Realtor.com inventory data that clearly showed the peak inventory dates were well in advance of Kona's. This is shown in Table!, "Peak Inventory Date". Many different chart formats showing inventory trends over time were not effective. A new emphasis being put on Sales Price data which was readily available from Case Shiller Home Price Index and Hawaii Information Service. After years of COUNTY KONA LA VEGAS SAN DIEGO SAN FRAN PORTLAND,O SANTA FE, NM POPULATION 21 33, M 1.95M 3.95M 85, 2.26M 144,17 Realtor.com - Market Area KONA LA VEGAS SAN DIEGO SAN FRAN PORTLAND SANTA FE, NM Peak Inventory Date Mar-9 Aug-7 Oct-7 Sep-7 Oct-8 Aug-8 Aug-8 Inventory PEAK Inventory 2 YEARS ago to date CURRENT INVENTORY % Change 2 YEARS 2% 16% -5% -2% 18% -24% -16% % CHANGE FROM PEAK TO CURRENT -57% -57% -38% -63% -46% -69% -43% TABLE 1 - The Kona inventory decline began 18 months after San Diego reached it's Peak levels in Sep-7. Currently Kona's inventory decline from Peak lags only slightly behind the main CA metros on a percentage basis. It is exactly the same as San Diego at -6% lower than at peak inventory. Inventory Data is from: Realtor.com / Kona data from: Hawaii information Service CHART 1 - This chart shows the price recorded every quarter. Throughout most of this time Kona Peaks and lows followed San Diego by approximately ONE YEAR. San Diego price data is from Case Shiller Home Price Index. It is the index value that represents monthly price change but is not actual price. Kona prices are from moving 12 moth price data from MLS/HI Information Service. Case Shiller updates some times does not come out for over a month. Therefore Charts 1 and 2 will not change with each report. INDEX 3.

9 PAGE 9 CHART 2: THE PURPOSE IS TO ILLUSTRATE THAT SAN DIEGO HOME PRICE PERFORMANCE IS A SOLID LEADING INDICATOR FOR KONA PRICE TREND (and HI Island by association). The data in the Chart is based on the moving year over year price appreciation rate. It clearly shows the changes in price momentum with Kona lagging behind San Diego almost exactly ONE YEAR at major shifts in Price momentum. IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT JUST BECAUSE THE CHART LINE IS DESENDING PRICES CAN STILL BE APPRECIATING AS LONG AS IT IS ABOVE THE HORIZONTAL % AXIS. Kona's current year over year price change is now down to % from highs early in the year 2%+. The San Diego is up around + 5% and just starting to trending higher. We see the San Diego declining trend ended 1/14 and then leveled off. This suggests that the current declining trend in Kona year over year appreciation will level off in coming months. San Diego price data is from Case Shiller Home Price Index. Kona prices are from moving 12 moth price data from MLS/HI Information Service.

GRIGGS, R, CRA, GRI, Clark Realty Corporation THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT, SUGGESTIONS AND COMMENTS THAT CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THE REPORT- Mike Griggs - mikegriggs@hawaiiantel.net cell ph ALL HAWAII DATA HAS BEEN COLLECTED FROM MLS HAWAII, HAWAII INFORMATION SERVICE, REALTORS.COM AND OTHER SOURCES NAMED IN THE REPORT. NOTES: 1) PAGE 1- TABLE 1 - RESIDENTIAL DATA IS LIMITED TO $4M AND UNDER PRICE RANGE IN ORDER TO SCREEN OUT HIGH END ACTIVITY AT KUKIO AND HUALALAI RESORT AREA'S. SIMILARLY THE CONDO AND LAND DATA HAS AN UPPER LIMIT OF $1.5M. 2) NUMBER SOLD, AVERAGE PRICE AND MEDIAN PRICE IS DATA IS FROM A MOVING 12 MONTH PERIOD. UPDATED EVERY TWO WEEKS THIS IS A VERY ACCURATE METHOD OF TRACKING THE SALES PRICE TRENDS. 3) THE PENDING RATIO MAYBE A GOOD LEADING INDICATOR OF MARKET STRENGTH AND PRICE DIRECTION. THE MARKET TYPE DESIGNATION, EG. SELLER, BUYER MARKET, NEUTRAL AND PEAK IS BASED ON CALIBRATION IS USING PENDING RATIO DATA IN THE PAST MARKET CYCLE. 3) DATA REPRESENTS THE ENTIRE NORTH KONA MARKET. IT SHOULD NOT BE CONSTRUED TO BE AN INDICATOR OF THE MARKET CONDITION IN ALL SUBMARKETS WITHIN THE MARKET AREA. EXAMPLE: MARKET CONDITIONS IN SUPPLY AND DEMAND MIGHT BE VERY TIGHT IN LOWER PRICE RANGES WHILE UPPER PRICE RANGE ARE STILL RELATIVELY SOFT MARKETS.
