Kona Kohala Blog

First, some statistics for North Kohala, South Kohala and North Kona.  Here's a quick look at how April is looking one third of the way through the month compared to last years full month numbers.  In a balanced, perfect world, every number would be one third of last years but . . .

North Kohala has 1 Single Family Residence sold compared to 5 last April.

South Kohala has 3 sold compared to 12 last April.

North Kona has 5 sold compared to 33 last April.

North Kohala has a total of 84 active SFR's listed for sale.

South Kohala has 208 SFR's and 336 condos for sale.

North Kona has 439 SFR's for sale and 402 condos for sale.

Needless to say there is a large and varied inventory to choose from.  Prices are low and getting lower, at this time at least and interest rates are still low, for now.  If you've been thinking about buying you may not want to wait too much longer.  Remember the bottom of the market isn't realized until about 2 months after it passes.
