One of America’s most expensive homes
One of Oahu’s “trophy properties”, the Kaiser Estate in Hawaii Kai, still holds the record of the highest residential sale on Oahu and one of the highest in the nation, which was set 20 years ago.

What was also shocking was that when Kawamoto made the purchase, the parcels were all leasehold. They have since been purchased from Kamehameha schools, making the current offering fee simple, which in turn makes the property significantly more valuable. Read entire post →

Hawaii Reporter recently announced there’s a New Phone System for Recorded Weather and Surf Updates on Oahu. This will be much more convenient as several phone numbers were required for the old system. The new 808-973-4380 number can also accommodate multiple callers!
I’ve saved this number to auto-dial on my phone. It’s perfect for all those living their Hawaii Life. Whether you’re looking to paddle from Hawaii Kai to Waikiki, Surf the North Shore or hike in Manoa, you can know what the weather, wind and surf will be from one phone number!

172 Nawiliwili St.
Over the past two weeks on Oahu, we’ve seen eight new REO single family listings come on the market. This is averaging more than one every other day! It’s actually even higher when you consider there were an additional three condo REO listings that came on market over the same period. Another unique factor is that we are now starting to see luxury REO listings come on market vs. the typical lower priced homes. 172 Nawiliwili St. is an awesome 4,235 square foot home with ocean views built in 2007 in Hawaii Kai and is priced at $1,750,000.
As I’ve said in previous blog posts, REO listings sell fast! We at Hawaii Life have a team of agents working with lenders across the country to help them sell their assets. If you’re an asset manager, you’ve come to the right place! If you’re a buyer, we can help you find & represent you in purchasing these great deals before they’re gone!
