Kona Kohala Blog

Sorry about the interruption in postings, a little problem with an otherwise trouble free server.

I've got a new listing for you to consider if you're in the market for a beautiful, incredibly well built home in Waikoloa.  MLS number is 221691; go to Search Hawaii MLS on this site and you can look at 25 photos and I'll be putting up some video as well.

This is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath upstairs and a 1 bedroom, 1 bath down.  The downstairs is pretty much self contained and is currently used as a rental.  At the ground level in back is a "Tea House", a thatched roof structure that's ideal as a play house or place to hang out and be peaceful, do art or just relax.

The views are spectacular, you can see Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, Hualalai and the oceran.  Everything in the home is first class from the Bosch appliances to the hand finished tongue & groove ceilings.

In the rest of the market, we're beginning to see the arrival of the investors.  These are curious little creatures that typically show up just as a market is reaching the bottom in pricing.  We know they're investors because they want to keep any renters that are in the house and are offering fair prices.  The bottom feeders we've had recently are a different breed than the serious investor.

There have been a lot of these investor types in California recently which has improved their sales by 43% over last year.  This weeks Aloha Friday newsletter will have our latest stats compared to last years also.  If you're not receiving the newsletter, email at Robert@FerrariPacificRealty.com and I'll put you on the list.  No obligation, no cost just good information on west Hawaii, our real estate and any other things of interest in North Kona and South Kohala.  aloha
