For those of you that don’t know, Ko Olina is West Oahu’s first marina resort community to consist of a broad array of residences including hotels, condos, single family homes, and timeshares—even including a new Disney themed hotel/timeshare venture opening in the fall of 2011.

All of the Hawaiian Islands are surrounded by the Pacific Ocean, which is a beautiful and scenic body of water.
1435 Laamia St. (MLS# 1008129) is in escrow with an asking price of $1,595,000
Although many people would love to live on the water, there is a finite amount of oceanfront residential land, and consequentially it is usually very expensive. Others like myself feel that if you can’t live on the water then the next best thing is to be able to see the ocean. For that reason, over the years hillside or ridge types of residential areas have been developed.
Because it is impossible to cover them all at once, the focus is going to be on four of Oahu’s newer East Side Ridge Communities of Waialae Iki and Kahala Kua, with Hawaii Loa and Napali Haweo to be covered in a follow up blog. Both of these have ocean views that will see different vistas from Portlock Point to Diamond Head to Ewa, and even views of Molokai and Lanai on clear days! Read entire post →

Recently a friend of mine said to me, “How can you afford to live in Hawaii?”
As a full time resident of Hawaii for 19 years, I would like to highlight a few “key” points about living here on Oahu:

The same ‘ole story has finally changed. After almost of year of writing articles on how our sales volume is increasing on Oahu, July was the first month where we didn’t outpace the previous year’s overall numbers. Single family home resales just barely outpaced July of 2009 by two sales, while condo sales were down from 343 to 320.

HOAKALEI (ho a ka lei) is a new “Resort Marina” master planned community now taking shape at Ewa Beach, approximately 30 minutes from downtown Honolulu. According to the plan, it could very well become one of the premier residential resort marina destinations in the Hawaiian Islands.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with house and cottage it’s a common term for buying two houses together in Hawaii.
I have sold allot of house and cottages. The reason I have sold so many is that the numbers work. Once you start adding up your mortgage, taxes, utilities, and other expenses, the added rental income makes a huge difference.
Let’s look at a simple math equation. If you pay $600k for a property and Read entire post →

Liljestrand House above Honolulu
Most everyone who appreciates architecture knows Frank Lloyd Wright’s work, and in Hawaii, we had another great man who left his mark on our beautiful islands.
Vladimir Ossipoff has been called “the master of Hawaii Modern architecture,” ”the dean of residential architects in Hawaii,” and “the premier postwar designer of kama’aina-style residences in Honolulu.” Perhaps the most famous of which is the Liljestrand House pictured here.

Today, on Kauai, you can purchase a home designed by Ossipoff that is currently listed as an REO for just over $400K (MLS# 235840). It sits on the rim overlooking the Wailua River Valley on Kauai’s fabulous East Side. The views are incredible from this simple home that need just a bit of TLC.
My husband and I looked at this home a few years ago and thought it was an amazing opportunity at just under $1M. Read entire post →
