South Kohala Market Update

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Lawrence Yun, the National Association of Realtor’s Chief Economist, said last month that homes sales will rise this year.  Well, those of us familiar with Kona and Kohala Coast real estate here on the Big Island took this as old news.  Real estate isn’t just local, these days it is hyper-local.  What’s happening in Puna is completely different than what’s happening in South Kohala.  When I talk to mainland residents looking to buy a vacation home, they often incorrectly assume what’s happening in their local market is what’s happening in our market.

Kumulani at Mauna Kea Resort

Friday, March 25th, 2011

For the past two years, nobody was buying Kohala Coast, Big Island real estate.  Well, a few people were, but so few that escrow companies, lenders and real estate firms lost many employees and agents.  That all changed in December.  Buyers are back, especially for affordably priced homes.  Ours are typically second home buyers, but lately, it’s the locals who are buying.  That doesn’t mean there aren’t any second home buyers.  They are shopping too, and the Kumulani neighborhood is a good example of where they are buying.  For a list of recent Kumulani sales, please email me a request.
