There was a great article in yesterday’s Sunday paper titled Diamond Head Architectural Classics on the Market. The article featured two listings:
1) 4315 Panini Loop which was designed by Claude Albon Stiehl in 1930
2) 2911 Makalei Place which was designed by Charles William Dickey in 1932

There was a recent article in the Pacific Business News titled 2010 Oahu home sales off to fast start that talked about how we’ve been on a roll here on Oahu with home sales up every month since January 0f 2009! Year over year home sales were up 33% with 166 sales and condo sales up 43% with 227 sales! This momentum has definitely carried on from November and December of 2009. What was interesting to see was the median price of a single family home was up 11% from last year, while the median sales price Oahu condos was down 2%. While the numbers were great, real estate is always local…
Where was up?
Where was down?

3939 Kahala Ave.
There are two homes that recently sold on the boarder of Diamond Head and Kahala that have had tremendous appreciation compared to the rest of Oahu and the nation for that matter.
These aren’t bad returns considering the economy and other investment vehicles. The stock market is still volatile, everyone is running to gold and how soon we forget how real estate can be a great asset class to invest in :)
If you’re looking for some well price homes near these, here’s a few:
4322 Kahala Ave.
One wild guess why these have gone up while other areas of the island have gone down? Location, location, location….

The Kaiser Estate is Available for $80 Million
If you are a homeowner looking to sell your luxury home on Oahu, you should be thankful 2009 is behind us :) Sales of Million Dollar homes on Oahu were down 27% from 2008. There were 273 homes on Oahu that sold over $1 million compared to 374 in 2008. Good news is if you’re a buyer of homes over $1 million, now is the time for bargain hunting! There were two recent sales in Diamond Head where a buyers buyers picked up some great buys:
In my opinion, it’s the higher price point that has suffered the most. It’s still hard to find a nice home in a good neighborhood around $1 million, however once you get in the $3-5 million range, there are bargains galore out there. Sales above $5 million got hit even harder, down 50% in 2009 with only 10 sales all year vs. 20 in 2008. Meanwhile, there are 54 active listings on Oahu over $5 million as of today… Read entire post →

Unlike some of the neighbor islands that have lots of oceanfront condos, Oahu’s oceanfront condo inventory is somewhat limited given the population of the island. The purpose of this blog post is to lay out where you can find oceanfront condos on Oahu. We’ll start at Diamond Head on Oahu’s southeastern shore (Diamond Head is where the original land surveys on Oahu used for reference) & work our way around the island clockwise.
As you can see, a number of the areas mentioned above have either just one or two projects in the entire area. In the near future, I’ll be posting more information on each of the specific areas. In the meantime, if there’s anything specific I can help you find in regards to oceanfront condos on Oahu, give me a call at 808-371-3509.

Diamond Head claimed another large sale this week. This is following a trend of the high end buyers realizing some great buys in this exclusive neighborhood. 3239 Noela St. closed for $8,750,000. The 10,544 square foot home that sits on over an acre was the former home of Jack Myers a local developer that moved to the San Francisco Bay Area. He sold this back in 2000 for $9 million. I’d say close to 99% of the homes on Oahu are worth more today than they were in 2000. Someone got a good buy here!

Just beyond Waikiki at the base of Diamond Head is Honolulu’s “Gold Coast“. The Gold Coast is the last strip of buildings at the end of Kalakaua Ave. across from Kapiolani Park. Unlike the “hustle & bustle” of Waikiki, the Gold Coast is a little more quiet. The buildings consist of: Read entire post →
