With the July sales figures in for Wailkola Village condo sales there was again a strong sales number of 6 condos closed but a low average sales number of only $110,241. And again, it’s a familar line up of complexes accounting for most of the sales with Elima Lani having half of the sales with three, Fairway Terrace in with two sales and Makana Kai At Wehilani had one sale. Finally, distressed sales- short sales or REO’s (bank owed properties)- were the main condos that buyers wanted with 5 of the 6 sales falling into this catagory.
Elima Lani Unit 308 was the top seller at $130,000
There was again a condo sale in the $70,000 range—Fairway Terrace unit A 101 closed at a sales price of only $75,548 for a two bedroom unit. The high sale of the month was an Elima Lani unit that had been listed at $159,900 and was not a distressed property, closing at $130,000. This condo had been remodeled with granite counters in kitchen and baths, tile, new laminate flooring, and new paint. All this and the best it would fetch was only $130,000.
One big note of concern for the next few months of sales is the large slow down in condos going into escrow. In the last 90 days Read entire post →

This house is simply incredible!

The choices made when building this home were exceptional. My client viewing yesterday dabbles at being a chef at times so commented that the kitchen layout and quality was superb. Integrating kitchen with great room and dining indoors or out in this incredible climate makes entertaining a joy! Mesquite flooring in the master was georgous! Read entire post →

Most everyone who appreciates architecture knows Frank Lloyd Wright’s work, and in Hawaii, we had another great man who left his mark on our beautiful islands.
Vladimir Ossipoff has been called “the master of Hawaii Modern architecture,” ”the dean of residential architects in Hawaii,” and “the premier postwar designer of kama’aina-style residences in Honolulu.” Perhaps the most famous of which is the Liljestrand House pictured here.
Ossipoff’s Liljestrand House with views of Honolulu.
Today, on Kauai, you can purchase a home designed by Ossipoff that is currently listed as an REO for just over $400K (MLS# 235840). It sits on the rim overlooking the Wailua River Valley on Kauai’s fabulous East Side. The views are incredible from this simple home that need just a bit of TLC.
My husband and I looked at this home a few years ago and thought it was an amazing opportunity at just under $1M. Read entire post →
View of the Kona Coast from Huehue Ranch; its name refers to the “bumps” of cinder cone on the flanks of Hualalai volcano
Huehue Ranch at its peak covered an estimated 8,000 acres to the north of what is now the town of Kailua Kona. Today the remaining 170 acres at the core of the historic ranch, including 3 recently restored ranch homes (the main house, “kid’s house”, and the manager’s house) and a caretaker cottage, is listed for only $3,695,000 (MLS# 231821). Divided into several parcels of record, the new buyer could add a home or two on the upper parcels where views are even bigger…or, as the listing suggests, return the property to its ranching roots by adding to the small herd of cattle still grazing the ranch under the jacaranda and silver oak. If you want to plant crops rather than ranch, that is also an option: the property bordering this one to the north is a successful coffee farm, as the elevation, rainfall and soil make this location part of the Kona coffee belt.
