hawaii real estate???

Question

i all the houses i looked in hawaii are old and too expensive. what areas have newer homes. i know everything will be expensive.

Answer 1

There is new construction on all of the Islands. Maui probably has the lead on new construction and the local joke is that they have moved part of Mission Viejo to Hawaii. It really is a little microcosm of SoCal and totally ridiculous. If you want to live in Hawaii why live in an area that is just like somewhere else. The older homes are classics and generally on larger lots with old growth foliage. much better in my opinion. but... there are new projects on the Big Island and new condos and a few small projects on the North Shore. You really have to walk it! if you want an agent here is an email address for Linda in Honolulu [e-mail] She has helped me with several properties and is very cool. Tell her That Randy Slocum said HI from Vietnam.

Answer 2

First and foremost it is important that you understand that MAUI IS DEFINITELY NOT SO. CAL.

What is too expensive? Median prices for old and not so nice looking houses are anywhere from $500,000-600,000. That would be a house that has been lived in for many years and probably needs to be renovated or even rebuilt. It also depends on what kind of house you are looking for. How many bedrooms or bathrooms. For smaller houses, there is land being developed in Napili. It is a small town, actually under the zip code of Lahaina. Kihei (South Maui) is another place that you might be interested in. Actually, this might be your best bet.

Otherwise, like someone already said, go to Oahu. Ewa Beach

Answer 3

Check out Ewa Beach or Kapolei.

The houses in those areas are still being built but will be VERY expensive. Both areas are very warm but most houses come with air conditioning and the commute from each of these places is about the same (terrible!)

Good luck!
