           Oahu Luxury Homes Continue To Be Buyer's Market



Want your own website ? Let me know ~ Make Me A Website ~

Over the past 24 months, while much of the lower price ranges have tightened in inventory and seen list price / sale price improvements, the $5MM and up marketplace continues to languish. 2 years ago, the time required to liquidate the existing listings ( Active units / Sales per month ) was just under 4 years. As we speak today in April 2012, the active listings total 41 and 20 homes have sold since March of 2010, which translates to an inventory in excess of 5 years today at the rate of one home selling every 40 days.

The sold price as compared to list price has also fallen, with an overall average for the 20 sold homes of 87% of sold price to list price and with the following results in specific price ranges.

$5MM range = 7 solds - 82% to 96% sale to list price - avg = 87%
$6MM range = 4 solds - 75% to 93% sale to list price - avg = 86%
$7-8MM range = 4 solds - 79% to 86.5% sale to list -   avg = 84%
$10-20MM range = 4 solds - 75% to 100% sale to list - avg = 90%
$20 MM + range = 1 sold - 91% sale price to list -          avg = 91%

Currently, the Average Days on Market for Active listing is 151 days
The average Days on Market of the 20 sold properties was 99 days. That compares to 64 days on the market for the average of homes priced below $750K.

The above does not reflect a marketplace of abundance, but instead reflects a lack of buyers as compared to the available properties for sale with options galore for purchasers. Purchasers in this market are able to use the statistics above to support their views of values with the weight of limited choices for seller's.

During the same 24 month period, there were 121 listings that either expired or were withdrawn - having been rejected by the marketplace without success. These properties also become purchasing opportunities.

There is always the question of value in the list price when viewing statistics. Cases in point being one property that sold for full list price and was listed at $17.5 MM and 2 of the 20 selling for 75% of list price. As always, actual value versus list price is the most important consideration and of greatest concern. As advocates of the purchaser, we are able to assist in these areas.

This is an update (March 2010 ) to an earlier article examining the activity in the $5MM plus waterfront homes on Oahu. The article below was written in June of 2009 and since that date, another 6 homes in this category have sold out of 31 listings currently available.

That would be one home sold every 45 days more or less, which would translate to the 31 homes currently on the market providing a 46.5 month supply, assuming there were no new listings added to the inventory.

As the article below suggests, it continues to be a great time to pursue a luxury home on Oahu and to choose from a large selection. To be honest, I thought the sold homes might have been higher than the 6 I found, as the market is definately turning in the lower ranges. But as of yet, the buyer enthusiasm has not reached this price range. Here is a little breakdown for you:

3 of the sales were in the $5MM range and sold at discounts to list price of 20%, 15% and 8%.
1 of the sales was in the $6MM range and sold at a discount to list price of 15%
2 of the sales were in the $7MM range and sold at discounts to list price of 15% and 20% respectively.

For those who are paying attention, that means for the folks who are selling ocean front homes in excess of $10MM, there has not been a sale in that price range and category since August of 2008 and it could be a great time to change that.

I would love to help you find the place you've always wanted in paradise!

For the discriminating buyer, the possibility exists that we have now entered the best market to purchase Exclusive properties in Hawaii in years. I've created a link to a website located at the top of this article to view these properties, but thought I'd also spend some time on why I believe the market may be perfectly positioned to acquire these properties now.



As we sit today in the $5MM plus market, there are currently 38 properties available. In the past 6 months, there have been a grand total of 4 sales in this price range in the criteria that I am analyzing which is waterfront properties. The last 2 of these sales were recorded in March of 2009 with the 2 other properties having closed in December and January. In other words, up to 38 homeowners have been waiting over 3 months for someone to purchase their property and no one has come forward.



At the past 6 month activity level, it would take 5 years to deplete the current supply of listings and at the past 3 month level (zero), it is what one could aptly describe as a market that could be within the complete control of a capable buyer. To put this into a historical perspective :

2008 totals         14 closed sales    17 active listings at year end (38 June '09)
2007 totals          9 closed sales
2006 totals         12 closed sales
2005 totals          8 closed sales
2004 totals          9 closed sales

As you can tell from the numbers above, while 8 to 14 sales in this price range and category are the historical range per year, with no sales and no pending sales currently identified on the MLS for the past 3 months, what a great climate to present an offer to a seller that is cash and priced according to the current market conditions.

The search link below is to provide you with an idea of what is currently available. If you would be more interested in having a personalized search prepared for you or would like more information on my market feel free to contact me by email or give me a call at 808-225-3660.

I have made the business decision to only represent purchasers in this price range of homes which allows me to fully represent the purchaser's interests, aid in negotiating strategies and aggressively seek the best terms available for my client, the purchaser. To further avoid potential conflicts with my existing client's interests, before I am able to accept additional clients in this price range, I seek approval from my existing clients.

Ko Olina Kai 3 Bdrm Townhouse - Ko Olina Resort - Close to Beach and Fitness Center

2012-03-17T08:08:01Z

     Ko Olina Kai 3 Bdrm/3 Bath
    w/ GREAT Location For Lease
   Ko Olina Kai Villas & Golf Estates
           Click here to check on availability Contact Michael

This townhouse is well cared for by the owner and he is now looking for someone to move in and take good care of his home. Just a short walk to the 18th green and across to the Ko Olina Golf Club, Roy's restaurant and the Ko Olina Sports Club including tennis and the recently expanded fitness center. Ko Olina Kai Golf Estates & Villas is a gated community within the Ko Olina Resort and Marina and is a wonderful place to call home.



Enjoy the view from the private lanai off the master bedroom. All exterior maintenance is provided through the Association so, all you have to do is enjoy it.


When you walk out your living room door you can turn left to walk toward the Golf course and the beach or you can turn right and head up to the pool through the neighborhood.





What about the inside you say. The first floor has a bedroom, laundry room and full bath in addition to the kitchen and living room with vaulted ceilings.


Granite counters and tile floors create a great kitchen with lots of storage that opens into the main part of the home.



Upstairs you'll find 2 large bedrooms and another 2 full baths. With over 1,600 square feet, you'll find lots of extras with closets, storage and room size. Floor Plan

This property is now available for a minimum of a 1 year lease with the possibility of a multi year lease. $2,900 per month plus GET will also include a membership to the Ko Olina Sports Club at no cost to the tenant other than the initial charge for each of your 2 membership ID's. This includes 2 tennis courts (with night lights) a fitness center, discounts throughout the resort including GOLF at the Ko Olina Golf Course, restaurants in the resort and excursion activities. If you would like a copy of the last newsletter, let me know and I will email it to you. The Sports Club is becoming a very important part of the Ko Olina Community and provides residents with many benefits.



Tennis anyone? 2 courts with lights on until 10 pm. Another reason the location of this unit is excellent is because there is a path from Ko Olina Kai to the golf course that starts a few houses away and the fitness center and golf course are across the parking lot from the Country Club. So... that puts you less than a 5 minute walk from Roys Restaurant and Bar or tennis and exercise. Down the path and left to award winning food, sushi and drinks or right to the gym. These are the hardest choices you'll have to make here.



If you are not as familiar with Ko Olina Resort and Marina as you'd like to be, you can visit their website and learn more about the 4 lagoons, world class marina, golf course and general lay of the land. For a great interactive map of Ko Olina, Click Here

I'd love to hear from you if you have any questions give me a call or or you may contact me by email here CONTACT MICHAEL . I would be honored to have the opportunity to show you this property or help you in any way I can with your housing needs in the Ko Olina area.

Lastly, if you own property in Ko Olina and have considered having a professional management service manage your property, Kapolei Realty, Inc has been managing property in the area for over 15 years and is a locally owned company with an impeccable reputation. I would be more than happy to explain our property management program to you!

Mahalo for your time and interest.

Located within Ko Olina Resort and Marina, Kai Lani is one of the 5 residential neighborhoods within the Resort and is my favorite of all of them. Kai Lani is a low density development and nearly all of the units have varying degrees of Ocean Views and this unit is no exception. In addition to the closest proximity to the ocean of all the neighborhoods except the actual Beach Villas, Kai Lani is where you will wake up in the morning and know you are in Hawaii! This unit is currently leased through the end of February but is available for limited showings during this month by appointment.

Located on approximately 11 acres with 30 buildings situated for maximum serenity and greenspace, Kai Lani is a peaceful retreat. As a gated community, you'll enjoy a feeling of security and with the impeccably landscaped grounds, everyday you wake, you'll take both pride and pleasure in your home. You can walk along paths through the Ko Olina resort to the restaurants and lagoons or if you want a little quiet time, you can go to the little beach in front of Kai Lani for some snorkeling or just to have some quiet time. When sunset comes, this is a favorite spot of mine.



As a tenant at Kai Lani, you'll be able to enjoy the pool in the neighborhood as well as many of the amenities in the resort like the fitness center and tennis courts which are all included benefits from your Home Owner Association. Here are some pictures of those added features:


                                            Pool and Spa with Bar B Que and Meeting Area


                       This is an Example of the building architecture. Each building contains
          4 units (2 downstairs units and 2 upstairs units) Each home includes a
                   1 car garage and an additional assigned parking space.

                As you can see, the beach is just a short walk to your home!

This is truly a Resort location where 5 star hotels, a LPGA golf course and a world class marina are located. Currently Disney has chosen Ko Olina as the site of their latest property and is currently under construction with a completion date of August 2011. If you've always wanted a place in Hawaii, I would encourage you to seriously consider this property while the prices are low and the best are available.

The quoted prices include a 13.96% Hawaii tax GET/TAT, a one time check in/cleaning fee of $300.00 for each stay and parking in a secured parking garage.

In a recent development, due to a dispute between the Home Owners Association and the owner of the Commercial Apartment where the Fitness Center is located, the fitness center is currently unavailable until a meeting of the minds can be reached. Unless you were planning on being able to use exercise machines while you are out here, I doubt you would notice the difference, but it is something that was available and currently is not so I wanted to make you aware of that.

Ko Olina offers a restful alternative to the crowds of Waikiki and Honolulu.

Welcome to the Beach Villas

2011-12-07T19:32:00Z

                                                        Aloha!

As your trip is getting closer, here is the process for getting checked into your Villa that you'll be staying at. If you are arriving at the airport and getting a rental car, I ask that you give us a call once you have your rental car and are leaving the airport.

Vicky, my wife, will probably be the one to meet you and her phone number is 808 225 3484 and her email is vspanier@aol.com. If you have any special requests regarding your arrival or have other questions, please feel free to give her a call or send her a note. Once you have your rental car ( the variable in the equation ) we will know how long until you arrive.

My phone number is 808 225 3660   and my email is mhhege@aol.com . If you have both of those numbers with you when you come here you'll be fine. If you want to add one more, there is a 24 hour security # at the Beach Villas and they also have your reservation information and the ability to provide you with emergency access to your room if that was needed for some reason, but that would be a most unusual situation.  That phone number is 808-469-3575

If you have a GPS or smart phone, the physical address is 92-104 Waialii Place Kapolei HI 96707

Leaving the airport, take the H1 West exit toward Waianae . Now just stay on this road for about 19 miles until you come to the Ko Olina exit. It's a large exit about 2 miles after you have passed the Shopping centers in Kapolei.

You'll come to an entry to Ko Olina and you'll be asked your destination.



Let them know you are going to the Beach Villas at Ko Olina. They will welcome you and you are on your way. On your right, you'll have the Paradise Cove Luau, the Marriott Ihilani Hotel and the new Disney hotel that opened in August. On your left you'll have the golf course and the new commercial center with an ABC store and some restaurants and ice cream.




After the Disney Hotel, you'll pass one large vacant lot on your right and then you'll be turning right on Waialii Place toward the ocean and will see the Beach Villas on your left. At the end of the culdesac you can make a left turn into the circle drive which is where we will meet you.

Here are the suspects you'll be looking for :


Also, this is good for getting oriented:

Kai Lani Ocean View Property For Sale - Great For VA Purchasers

2011-08-27T00:27:22Z

Kai Lani in the Ko Olina Resort and Marina currently has 6 properties for sale priced between $634K and $725K. These are all 2 bedroom townhouses and each of them have their own individual views, at least one of which is an unobstructed view.

I just love Kai Lani, it is where I live myself. It is the only residential neighborhood with the exception of the Beach Villas at Ko Olina that gives you the expansive views of the ocean and the northern view of the Waianae Coast and mountains. Gorgeous as sunset comes along and a short walk thru preservation property to the ocean and a little beach. Kai Lani is as good as it gets !



If you would like to see some details on the properties currently available in Kai Lani - CLICK HERE

The great news is that if you have VA eligibility for a VA loan, you can use it to purchase one of these properties because Kai Lani is now an approved development for VA loans.

All of these listings are priced at their lowest prices in a long long time so let me know if you would like to take a look at one or all of them.

I have two of these properties listed myself and they are each short sales. One is a cooperative short sale with the current lien holder. It is priced at $634,536 and has this view from it's living room :



The second of my listings is on the other side of the range at $725,000 and has a great view and is the only 3 bedroom currently available. It is also a short sale, but will only require a lien holder's approval from the 2nd and not the first which should make the approval process much quicker.

Here's a view from it's living room:



If you are curious about the other Ko Olina neighborhoods, here is a link with information about the other neighborhoods and available properties in those neighborhoods also. Ko Olina Residential Neighborhoods

With the Disney Aulani Hotel and Resort now open in Ko Olina, it will be interesting to watch the changes in our neighborhood.

Let me know if you would like more info.

Mahalo,
