When people think of their dream tropical vacation, Hawaii is typically at the top of the wish list. But what’s paradise if you’re surrounded by Instagram-snapping, loud-talking, space-invading tourists?
Yes, you should absolutely go to downtown Kailua-Kona and have a Mai Tai overlooking the ocean, but once you’re tired of all the people, head to one of these lesser known attractions to beat the crowds and spend some quality time with the Big Island.
Hawaii is a unique place; that’s why everyone dreams of living here! But when you’re looking for real estate on the Big Island, some of the terms can be a bit confusing. As you browse through the lists of available homes, you’re bound to come across the term “Lanai.” A lanai is one of the most popular architectural features in homes throughout the islands.
Rental properties are a lucrative business, especially in Hawaii. Tourists from all over the world flock to the tropical islands for vacation, and who can blame them!? When travelers come knocking, you want to be sure that your rental property is ready to attract the big spenders and earn some serious income. Here are five tips for renting your Big Island property.
Times are crazy right now, but the real estate market is still strong. People are looking for houses but there just aren’t enough available. What does that mean for sellers? Now’s your chance! If you’re ready to sell and move somewhere warm and tropical—like Hawaii, perhaps—this could be the time to get the best price for your house.
Ready to ditch the mainland life for tropical island living? Your home might be the only thing standing between you and the Hawaiian lifestyle you’ve been dreaming of. So, let’s sell that thing! Here are a few helpful tips to sell your house for the best price and make the move to Hawaii a reality.
Vacationing in Hawaii is like eating one potato chip: It tastes great, but there’s so much left in the bag! You can’t experience everything that Hawaii has to offer with just one visit. Living on the Big Island is filled with adventure, leisure, and relaxation. It’s truly the perfect tropical paradise to call home. Here are some of the perks of being a permanent Big Island resident.
With most places still under strict travel restrictions—including the Big Island—many people are wondering if this is still a good time to buy property. On one hand, interest rates are at an all-time low. On the other, nobody seems to be buying houses right now. So, even if you lock in an incredible interest rate, is it a safe investment, and can you even still buy property during the COVID-19 pandemic?
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected seemingly every aspect of our lives. Now, “going out” means sitting in your back yard, and “heading to the movies” means browsing Netflix from your couch. But after you’ve finished with all your home projects (or have gotten sick of your house entirely), you might be feeling like it’s time to start working toward your dream of moving to Hawaii. But is that even still a possibility? Of course it is!
I know, you can learn how to do anything online without ever having to leave your robe or fuzzy slippers, including buying and selling a house. It might be tempting to take on the process yourself to avoid commission fees, but with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line, wouldn’t you like some experience on your side?
A real estate agent will have your back and make sure that you don’t make any mistakes with what is quite possibly the largest purchase you’ll ever make. So, don’t think of them as commission fees; think of them as commission guarantees! Here’s why you should never buy or sell without an agent on your side.
On the lush eastern coast of the Big Island lies a unique, Polynesian-inspired estate that was just put on the market. The property boasts eight – yes, eight – separate structures, including four sleeping bungalows, a spa, a lounge and a communal dining area. Every structure was meticulously crafted using only the highest-quality materials to ensure the ultimate in luxury and authenticity. It’s currently a highly rated bed and breakfast but is now ready to become your very own private compound.
If you’re in the market for luxury real estate in Hawaii, chances are it’s not your first home-buying rodeo. But, unlike purchasing property on the mainland, it might be the first time that you couldn’t easily make it out to your soon-to-be house for home inspections, contract negotiations or meeting with your agent or broker. While it’s not much different than buying a home in the continental United States, there are still a few steps that might be challenging for first time sight unseen buyers.
