If you read my previous blog – Cost of Living the Kohala Coast Resorts Lifestyle, Part 1 – you probably got inspired by the homes and settings at Mauna Kea Resort that defined some of the resort lifestyle on the Kohala Coast. Today, I want to help you discover what’s going on just a few miles south [...]
If you ever had a chance to take a vacation on the Kohala Coast of Hawaii (also called the Gold Coast) don’t tell me you never thought that your vacations were not long enough and that you were not already dreaming about coming back as soon as you left the island. When you think of Hawaiian white sand [...]
Unit 506 (MLS# 247728) is in a great spot on the corner of the complex, so the lanai has fairway views and is very private. It has two bedrooms/two bathrooms for a total of 1,289 square feet. Soaring ceilings, tiled throughout, and sold furnished, this is a great condo in a great location and offered at [...]
Increasingly in the luxury end of the Kohala Coast Resort real estate market, we find among our buyers close-knit families who often travel with at least three generations, or both sets of grandparents, or several adult siblings. For these buyers, a three-bedroom condo or home is a bare minimum; lately we’ve had some clients for [...]
Stat-a-palooza time now that 2011 is over and the new year begun. We put together some interesting stats for West Hawaii condo and residential sales. These stats cover the area from Keauhou to Waimea (TMK 3-6 and 3-7). It’s interesting to note here how similar these graphs are even though one could make the case that [...]
The Villages at Mauna Lani has several floor plans, but one of the most interesting is the Alii plan. It is a free standing, unattached home within the condominium community. So owners enjoy the quiet privacy of a single family home with the convenience of a cared for condo. There are currently two homes on [...]
Here’s an update for condo sales in the Mauna Lani Resort through November, 2011. The first graph tracks the number of condos sold:
Mauna Lani condo sales have been strong all year long! Even though our weather seasons are pretty much all the same, there is a selling season in Hawaii, as in most tropical areas. Our selling season officially begins in mid-November and runs through the end of April. Although this year, we saw little slow down during the summer months with [...]
One of my favorite places to show property is in Kukio Private Residences and Four Seasons Hualalai Resort on the “Gold Coast” of the Big Island. The lifestyles are so logical and simple, I can’t help but want this type of lifestyle for all of Hawaii, for those who love having the cool tropical breezes [...]
The Villages at Mauna Lani is a gated, luxury condominium complex with high-end finishes. Unit 516 (MLS# 247869) is in an ideal location and is located on the Villages greenbelt, which means the large lanai faces an extensive open space that is beautifully landscaped. The condo is also just steps from the pool and fitness [...]
The Mauna Lani Resort is comprised of nine condominium complexes, eight residential projects, and two anchor hotels: the Mauna Lani Bay Hotel and the Fairmont Orchid Hotel. All owners of property within the resort are entitled to use the Mauna Lani Beach Club, which is an oceanfront white sand beach bar and grill with activity [...]
My husband and I officially celebrated our 17th wedding anniversary Oct. 22nd, but have chosen to celebrate with a Domain Carneros Winemaker Dinner at Brown’s Beach House at the Fairmont resort, Mauna Lani. To us, this is one of the most amazing things about living along the Kohala Coast—the opportunity to attend wine and food [...]
We’ve been tracking sales in the Mauna Lani Resort, year-to-date. The graph below shows the number of condos sold per month in 2011. Of the 3 sales recorded in September, 2 were short sales and one was a resale.
It’s tempting to be distracted from real estate tasks when I can watch dazzling live coverage of U.S. Open tennis matches with stars like Federer, Nadal, Venus Williams, Sharapova and Djokovic. If you’re a tennis enthusiast, you know that the event is full of barn-burning matches with American attention-getters like Donald Young, Ryan Harrison, and Christina [...]
