RR May 8, 2012 - There are signs that the bottom of the local real estate market has passed. Oahu's median home prices rose in 2010 after two years of decline. The April 2012 median price was the lowest this year. It ranged from $618,900 to $625,000 in January - March of this year. In summary, there is a reduction in inventory that is resulting in multiple offers and more competition between buyers. Ron (808) 295-6186.

CENTURY 21 Hawaiian Style! It's that time of year again. Get ready to trade an hour of sleep for an extra hour of sunshine later in the day. Welcome to daylight saving time! Well unless you live in Hawaii. Hawaii does NOT change time however mainland USA does.
It's also the recommended time to replace your smoke detectors' batteries. A few minutes of your time could save your life or that of a loved one. So, where did the concept of daylight saving time come from? Well it's actually still fairly new in the United States. Some credit Benjamin Franklin with coming up with the idea for daylight saving time in 1784. When visiting Paris, he couldn't figure out why it was getting so sunny so early. He also thought that by adjusting the time, citizens would save on candle costs. However, daylight saving time was not implemented until 1916, when Germany and Britain used it as a way to conserve energy during World War I. The United States used it in 1918, but residents were against the idea and it was abandoned.
in 1966 Congress passed the Uniform Time Act, which mandated that all states opting to observe it move their clocks forward one hour on the last Sunday in April and one hour back on the last Sunday in October. That law was amended in 1986 to start daylight saving time on the first Sunday in April. The end date remained the same as the last Sunday in October. This new system started in 1987. Well, the whole system changed again in 2005. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 extended daylight saving time in the United States another four weeks. Now it begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November.
This was done in hopes of saving money on energy bills by making the day longer, earlier in the year. However, Congress retains the right to revert back to the 1986 law should the change prove unpopular or if energy savings are not significant enough.

(RR) ___________________________________________________________ Presidents Day Honolulu Hawaii Sunday 2/19/2012 Century 21 Hawaiian Style will be closed Monday but our Realtors will be working. Contact your realtor today to help you find your next home, condominium or building need. What is Presidents Day? In the United States, Presidents Day is always celebrated on the third Monday of February. Presidents' Day is intended (for some) to honor all the American presidents, but most significantly George Washington and Abraham Lincoln Back in the 1790s, Americans were split - some celebrated his birthday on February 11th and some on February 22nd. When Abraham Lincoln became president and helped reshape our country, it was believed he, too, should have a special day of recognition. Prior to 1968, having two presidential birthdays so close together didn't seem to bother anyone. February 22nd was observed as a federal public holiday to honor the birthday of George Washington and February 12th was observed as a public holiday to honor Abraham Lincoln's birthday. In 1968, things changed when the 90th Congress was determined to create a uniform system of federal Monday holidays. They voted to shift three existing holidays (including Washington's Birthday) to Mondays. The law took effect in 1971, and as a result, Washington's Birthday holiday was changed to the third Monday in February. But not all Americans were happy with the new law. There was some concern that Washington's identity would be lost since the third Monday in February would never fall on his actual birthday. There was also an attempt to rename the public holiday "Presidents' Day", but the idea didn't go anywhere since some believed not all presidents deserved a special recognition. Some states, like California, Idaho, Tennessee and Texas chose not to retain the federal holiday title and renamed their state holiday "President's Day." From that point forward, the term "Presidents' Day" became a marketing phenomenon, as advertisers sought to capitalize on the opportunity for three-day or week-long sales. Today, President's Day is well accepted and celebrated. Some communities still observe the original holidays of Washington and Lincoln, and many parks actually stage reenactments and pageants in their honor. The National Park Service also features a number of historic sites and memorials to honor the lives of these two presidents, as well as other important leaders But when it's all said ... its really about marketing. Happy Presidents Day! Douglas E Crum (RA)

The Origin of Valentines Day
Saint Valentine's Day, often simply Valentine's Day, is a holiday observed on February 14 honoring one or more early Christian martyrs named Valentinus. First established by Pope Gelasius I in 496 AD. Later deleted from the General Roman Calendar of saints in 1969 by Pope Paul VI. It is celebrated in countries around the world, mostly in the West, although it remains a working day. The day first became associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards (known as "valentines"). Modern Valentine's Day symbols include the heart-shaped outline, doves, and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19th century, handwritten valentines have given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The U.S. Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately 190 million valentines are sent each year in the US. Half of those valentines are given to family members other than husband or wife, usually to children. When you include the valentine-exchange cards made in school activities the figure goes up to 1 billion, and teachers become the people receiving the most valentines. Valentine's Day is considered by some to be a Hallmark holiday due to its commercialization. Douglas E Crum (RA)
