Halii Kai Condo Sales Update on the Big Island
Two months ago, I wrote that with the inventory of condos for sale at Waikoloa Beach Resort and Mauna Lani declining rapidly, the short sales and developer inventory at Halii Kai seemed to me to be one of the remaining “best buy” opportunities in the under $500,000 price point.
