Visitors driving through the charming towns of Hawi and Kapa'au in historic North Kohala often wonder if there are any new subdivisions with moderately priced homes (for Hawaii!) like they see in Kailua Kona.  The answer is no.  However, there is a small subdivision of 10-12 year young homes in a...

NOTE:  Sellers are ready to move.  PRICE REDUCED TO $625,000 and it appraised a year ago for almost $800,000! Usually I only take listings in North and South Kohala, but I jumped at the chance to list a very special property being offered by good friends who are ready to downsize and maybe have a...

A third REO (bank-owned property) at the upscale Kolea community hit the market today at only $499,900 for a beautiful unit that sold for $890,000 in 2006.  Just as with foreclosures on the Mainland, we real estate agents often find a property trashed before the original owners depart.  Not in th...

I've been posting regularly about the appearance of foreclosures at my two favorite Waikoloa Beach Resort communities, oceanfront Halii Kai and beachfront Kolea.  Nothing is a sure thing when it comes to investing in real estate, but whether you are buying for your own use or for investment it is...

I've blogged about the first foreclosures at oceanfront Halii Kai and beachfront Kolea, two of the most attractive condominium communities recently constructed on the Big Island's Kohala "Gold" Coast.  At Halii Kai, there is still only one REO on the market, but another unit became bank-owned las...

The Hawaii Island public MLS site AlohaLiving.com had a blog post of mine featured on their home page all month.  I got a lot of inquiries off this post about foreclosures and why they aren't selling, at least here in north Hawaii. A couple of the properties that weren't selling are now up for au...

Just took a great new listing at Halii Kai at the Waikoloa Beach Resort.  This is the largest floorplan and the nicest one of these 3/3 penthouse condos on the market.  All the resort's advertising features the signature hole of its Beach Golf Course because it has simply the finest ocean views, ...

Last night several brokers collaborated to hold simultaneous open houses on fine residences for sale at Champion Ridge at Mauna Lani Resort.  It was a lovely warm early evening with light trade winds, and strolling from house to house I had the impression I was walking through an actual residenti...
