For the past few years along the Kona Coast, the only homes in the $3-$5 million dollar range that have been selling are at Kukio or Hualalai Resort. I am willing to go out on a limb and predict that’s about to change. If the high end luxury market is going to follow the same trend [...]
Incredible, architecturally interesting home located in Kona Heavens (MLS# 240406) and, believe me, this is Heaven. Coastline views surround this home. Beautifully situated on a private 1 acre lot, all within a tropical setting, this home has mature palms, mango, macadamia nut, avocado, lemon, lime, star fruit, pink grapefruit, and orange trees. Nice 1,100 foot [...]

Oceanfront view from Hale Pohaku Lanai This weeks’ WKRP is a 2 bed/2 bath oceanfront condo in Hale Pohaku (MLS# 241718) priced at $699,000. Hale Pohaku is a small 6 unit complex on Alii Drive. Being so few units and such a wonderful location for a second or vacation rental home, they don’t come on [...]

This year, four have sold and 3 more have gone into contract in the same time period. With 28 homes currently on the market, [...]

You couldn’t have asked for a better day on the water; light winds and flat [...]
