Two good buys just came on the market.  The first is in Casa de Emdeko, an ocean front complex compete with a fresh water and a salt water pool.  This is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit with a very nice remodel.  The price is $465K.

The other listing, this week's Best Buy of the Week in our Aloha Friday newsletter, is in Country Club Villas in Keauhou.  This is a third floor, loft unit with expansive ocean views looking over the 18th fairway of the ocean course of the Keauhou Kona Country Club.  This unit needs a cosmetic face lift but is priced $60,000 below the next lowest priced loft unit there.  Needless to say that much money can go a long way to redoing the condo.

The Casa unit is MLS #224500 and the Country Club Villas is MLS #224640.

Laugh of the Month has to go to Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geitner.  Speaking before a large crowd at the university in Bejing he was telling the audience how strong the U.S. economy and the dollar was and how well our recovery is going.  The crowd burst out in laughter leaving Mr. Secretary blushing at the podium.  Funny he'd think the rest of the world is as gullible as most Americans.
