If you’ve been, than you know: there aren’t many places in the world that can top Wailea when it comes to lifestyle. The weather is incredible; South Maui’s legendary “endless summer” makes it a beach day all year round. The whales leap from the water during season (December through March), within full view of the shore. And the manicured resort lifestyle, clean, green, lush, and wonderfully maintained, underscores the fact that you have truly arrived in paradise.
Wailea caters mostly to condo living, but lately, that’s come with a twist. The newer properties, like the spectacular Ho’olei (across from the Grand Wailea), Kai Malu (inland a half mile,with great ocean views), Kanani Wailea (bordering Kihei, at the north end of Wailea), and Papali (near the Palms condos) are more like single family homes in a condo setting.

Prospective buyers looking in the Hawi and Kapa’au area we call “Kohala” are often puzzled by the jump in prices from the little plantation-era cottages that today sell for $300,000 or less, to the $1 million and up range in communities like Maliu Ridge. There doesn’t seem to be much listed in the middle. That’s why I was so excited to see two great deals last week, one a price reduced short sale (MLS 235163) and one a new REO –the technical term for “foreclosure” (MLS 237400) – for under $500,000 !

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.
Ossipoff’s Liljestrand House with views of Honolulu.
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 →

This week on Kauai 5 properties were reverted back to the lender on the courthouse steps. Approximately 30 auctions were postponed til dates in August and September. 12 new listings are distressed properties. The distressed property market is primarily composed of two things:
- REO (Real Estate Owned) – These properties have already been foreclosed on by the lien holder, assigned to an asset management company, and relisted with an REO agent.
- Short Sales – these properties may or may not be in foreclosure but the proceeds of the sale will be less than what is owed to the lienholder and thus require lienholder approval.
Two of the best North Shore values that just listed are in Princeville proper, where an owner can have a legitimate vacation rental. Princeville is sanctioned by the county of Kauai for this purpose since it lies within the VDA (visitor destination area).

Villas on the Prince – Unit 30
This 3 bedroom, 3 bath townhome (MLS# 237228) looks out at the Hanalei mountains and overlooks the world renowned Prince Golf Course. This is a short sale with Bank of America and is listed at $579,000. Remember, the pricing requires lienholder approval so it may sell for more than this in the end. The unit is in clean shape and is unfurnished.

This single family home ( MLS# 237229) is probably the best value for a home under $600,000 in Princeville. It features 5 bedrooms, including two upstairs with spacious lanai and pretty mountain views. The practical laminate flooring is easy to maintain in Kauai and there is a great garden and backyard that can keep you busy if you nurture it.
