What you speak of on the foreclosure side, is what happened in the late eighties in NH when the FDIC came in and took over the insolvent banks...

The FDIC tried to ease them on the market but once it started prices fell. Peak vacation condos going for $125K could be had at FDIC auction for $10-20K...

Prices in the vacation market could topple like dominos as the loans get called across the country.

Agreed. Those markets get hit from all sides as employment is so tied to housing and tourism as well. Perhaps some ghost towns if the next downturn is very severe.

Bruddah GST. You are ignored by 31 folks. Where the aloha? -g-

1995 in Hawaii was so bad I knew many locals that simply picked and moved to the mainland...some have never returned.

I agree with what you said. The Kohala Coast is starting to look mighty toppy. 20% of Waikoloa Colony Villas are on the market and sales are almost nonexistent. Price drops are much more common now. I guess that 1% rental yield ain't so hot after all!
