I don’t even know where to start. I’m a very real person but I’m private. I don’t usually share much about my life on social media and I don’t like bringing bad things to anyone but with all the loving messages that have gone out here on social media I guess it is time for me to say something. I have been diagnosed with Triple negative breast cancer stage 3 for now and am waiting for some more test results. I have a lot to say and a lot more details to this story but I don’t know if I am ready. I am facing this the best way I can and I am very positive. I’m not going to lie that sometimes I feel scared. But definitely one of my biggest concerns was how in the world am I going to do this being a single mom? Usually I do all on my own and whenever challenging times arrive I usually say “I Got This”. Little by little I had to tell some friends and right away I felt the love. I am the luckiest person I think because I’m surrounded by some of the most amazing humans. When my friends and sisters told me they got me, and they were going to be here for me it made me feel safe and strong to fight this thing. I’m in shock and amazed by all the love and how much those incredible women are taking on for me. They thought of everything, they are moving mountains for me and on top of that all the love and support coming from everyone. I’m beyond grateful and I have no words to describe how loved and strong I feel from all this.
Now I will say “WE GOT THIS” because there is no way I could do this without all this love and support.
I know this is a rough road but I want to keep things happy and fun as much as possible so if you see me please give me a beautiful smile and show me your best dance move. 😜💃
All the love, support and happiness will do wonders 🙏🏽🩷
Everyone is offering me help and asking me how they can help me. I will be reposting what my friends set up for me to help me 🙏🏽.
WE GOT THIS
.I have so much to say but have not had time and/or decided if I want to keep sharing or how I feel about.
But today I am feeling like sharing. #2 Second Chemo today!! First one with my new buddy Ollie (my chemo port @seachica and I named it🤣)
I am being showered with so much love and lovely treats.
Thank you @ohanashophawaii@oohweewaipa for the cooled socks with a love message that I am wearing today.
Thank you @thebarn808@petrahendrixozzy for super cool stylish Blanket. It’s doing wonders.
I couldn’t do it without all the love and support.
I am so happy I’m getting this treatment that it’s doing its job.
I’m just grateful
WE GOT THIS
#wegotthis#number2chemo#secondchemo
So wild but real. I did it. My first one. ☝️ I was so excited and so happy. My cool friend @seachica put music and we danced our hearts out in the car before going in. @crissy_cavanaugh brought me the cutest chemo ready pack and my beautiful friend Anna took care of my greatest treasure Isa and Luahn. Everyone was so incredible at the center. It was amazing we were laughing, meeting new cool friends, and we are going dancing as soon as I can. I never stop or do much for myself so it felt like I was in a spa. I was surrounded by so much love from my incredible friends. Again all my happiness and positivity was possible because of all the love and support I’m getting from my kauai community, everyone in Brazil and LA.
I felt good after.
The sad part is getting home with Luahn sick and because Isa is taking care of him. I can’t be near them so I can’t take care, or hug, or kiss them. This is the hard part.
But he will be better soon. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m so truly grateful. I couldn’t do this without all this love and support.
it’s hard for me to answer everyone (I wish I could) so I decided to write this.
Thank you everyone for the amazing messages and good wishes. I am truly grateful.
Thank you for my Team Gabi working so hard and truly for some many that are helping in so many way.
No matter how rough it can get WE GOT THIS.
I don’t have any words to describe. I literally have so many special amazing people in my life. I have the best and the most incredible friends. First day of chemo coming and my sweet friend @crissy_cavanaugh made a special care package for me I can’t even. I’m the luckiest girl in the world. I am in shock. Tonight we have the most amazing food for dinner with so much love from @paulina_petals I could not to this without everyone. I feel so much love.
WE GOT THiS!!!!!!
Kaua‘i Real Estate Market Report, Q1 2024
Residential Market Snapshot
Kaua‘i started the year with consistent pending and sold listings accompanied by rising median sold price.
Residential Market Overview
Inventory
There are signs inventory levels are remaining steady with active listings consistent year over year. This is encouraging as the number of homes sold for the same time periods increased by 31.3%, with 88 in Q1 2024 and 67 in Q1 2023.
Median Sold Price
The median sold price of single-family homes was up 55.5% in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023. It should be noted that Kaua‘i historically experiences significant fluctuations in median sales prices, so this year is not an anomaly.
Average Price Per Square Foot
The average price per square foot showed a strong increase of 61.2% year over year. However, recent months depict a declining trend in price since January 2024. February 2023 marked the lowpoint in price over the last year.
Days on Market
Days on market are very consistent year over year only declining 1.2% from Q1 2023. The large fluctuations in DOM is evident in the graph, but despite this trend sellers are still able to get close to their asking price throughout Q1 2024.
Months of Inventory
Months of inventory signifies the time it would take to sell all current listings at the current sales pace without new listings. At the end of Q1 2024 there were 4 months of inventory compared to 5.1 months at the end of Q1 2023, a decrease of 21.6%.
Looking Forward
Kaua‘i remains a difficult market to predict due to the historic fluctuations that have occurred.
There are signs to be cautiously optimistic about the Kaua‘i real estate market in 2024. However, Kaua‘i has a history of significant monthly fluctuations. Hopefully the strength we saw in the first quarter will continue into the year ahead.
