Bargains have officially hit the Maui Luxury market!

  • Current County Assessed Value: $2,941,000

  • Current Asking Price: $2,250,000

Personally, I find the design elements of the 24 homes in Papali Wailea very interesting and unlike any other’s that I have seen here. They are somewhat  Bailenese style meets uber modern. They are single level energy efficient luxury homes that have very simple floor plans incorporating a fusion of top of the line building materials. The site plan of the complex follows the same trend of simplicity, elegance, and fluidity that the homes themselves posses. Read entire post →

The Big Island—where you can still watch volcanic action creating land—has a topography defined by its five volcanoes. What that means for Big Island real estate is that wherever you look from wherever you are, you are likely to have spectacular ocean and/or mountain views. The “major highways” parallel the coast, and outside of the oceanside resorts, a typical luxury residential area is by definition located on a hillside, which means careful building and CC&Rs give everyone unobstructed ocean views!

A corporate REO, what’s that?

I talk to a lot of buyers who want to buy foreclosures; the first question that I ask them is if they have all cash. This is important because almost all foreclosed properties purchased at auction are purchased with cash, they generally do not accept loan contingencies and one needs to have a cashiers check on the spot for 10% of the purchase price.

So, how does one compete with banks (sellers of bank owned homes) and or other wealthy investors (sellers of corporate REOs) with cash? Generally you don’t, you let them buy the property, perform the necessary repairs and renovations, and purchase the property as a bank owned home or in this case a corporate REO. This can be especially nice considering that one can leverage the entire asset by financing it as a  turn key home rather purchasing it and needing to come cash out of pocket after closing it to bring it up to a more desirable standard.

556 Akolea Place in Nanea @ Kehalani (MLS#343969) just listed for $349,000 and is perfect for a first time buyer.

  • 2005 Purchase Price: $560,000
  • County of Maui current assessed value: $387,100
  • Current asking price: $349,000
