Frustrated with conventional methods of getting homes sold in the current market, the owners of the Castle in Hawaii B&B in the lush Puna district on the Big Island decided to offer their newly built "sweetheart cottage" as the prize in an essay contest.  The entry fee is $101 and each essay must...

Can't believe this Halii Kai direct oceanfront foreclosure hasn't sold yet!  Reduced about five minutes ago to $867,000, this 2BR/2BA 1300 sq ft condo sold to the original buyers in 2007 for $1,653,250.  The most recent oceanfront condo sale, my listing Halii Kai 15F, sold in November for $2,050,...

As Easter weekend approaches, we enter the home stretch of the winter "high season" for tourism in Hawaii, and consequently for resort real estate sales on the Big Island's Kohala Coast.  The condo market has been far from "dead" -- but the news has also not been good for sellers of properties on...

It w...

Between April 1 - 26th, Big Island Fire Stations are accepting donations of old athletic shoes for recycling. The soles are made into a surface for playgrounds and equestrian arenas. If you plan to visit the Big Island this month, why not bring your oldest shoes for hiking the Ala Kalakai trail ...

I started out my real estate blogging on our Hawaii Island MLS  AlohaLiving.com Because I happen to be naturally an analytical person, my posts there are heavy on the analysis.  There are not many bloggers there, so I only post once or twice a week so as to not hog all the prime real estate. Now ...

  This is not my listing, but since I specialize in ranches and equestrian properties, I'm excited about this Big Island ranch coming on the market. Buy the entire 660 acres if you get there before anyone purchases one of the six parcels into which it has been subdivided. Best of all in this mark...

One of the best things about sitting open houses at my oceanfront and oceanview condo listings at Halii Kai is that during the winter I get to watch whales.  The waters off shore at Halii Kai (which is across the golf course from the Ocean Tower of the Hilton Waikoloa Beach Resort) are shallow in...

The good news for people considering a real estate purchase on the Hilo side or Hamakua coast of the Big Island is that Kona-based Mokulele Airlines is adding interisland service between Honolulu and Hilo. The new service begins May 1. Kona-based Mokulele now is accepting online reservations for ...
