While Kakaako and Waikiki often grab headlines, Hawaii Kai offers some of the best hidden value in Honolulu’s condo market — especially when it comes to high-rise living. Nestled along the marina with mountain and ocean views, Hawaii Kai is home to eight official high-rise buildings, most of which were built in the 1970s and 1980s and feature larger units, great amenities, and lower prices than their urban counterparts...

That’s right — as of May 2025, there are no homes available for sale on this coveted hillside, creating a unique window of opportunity for sellers and fierce competition among buyers... Read More

East Honolulu is home to some of Oahu’s most sought-after residential neighborhoods — and two of the most talked-about in 2025 are Aina Haina and Niu Valley. While they’re located right next to each other, the real estate dynamics in each community tell very different stories.

If you are attempting to market on your own these days it can be a daunting task.  You have a website, which is a project in itself keeping content up to date as well as making sure all your SEO stays up to date with Google's everchanging algorithms.  Then on top of that you have the growing popularity of social media and the dozens of popular platforms.  We will take a brief look at which platforms may be best for you.While this graph outlines which social media sites are the most popular it does not necessarily mean as a real estate professional they will generate business.  For example, LinkedIn is a popular site and is probably better used for networking with other agents or companies, but not as much for generating direct business traffic.On the other hand, YouTube still is probabl...

Today’s Inman News headline reads:“Existing-home sales fall to slowest pace since 2009 amid rising costs.”That may be true nationally—but not here in North Kona.While the mainland sees pullbacks, our local data paints a different picture. From January through March 2025, both home and condo sales in North Kona are up—eclipsing 2024, 2009, and even 2008 numbers.📊 North Kona YTD Sales (Jan 1–Mar 31): 2008: 69 Homes | 47 Condos 2009: 42 Homes | 33 Condos 2024: 104 Homes | 67 Condos 2025: 107 Homes | 82 Condos This isn’t just a rebound—it’s sustained confidence. Buyers are still buying. Sellers are still selling. And the market is still moving.It’s a powerful reminder that real estate is local. National headlines don’t always reflect what’s happening in our neighborhoods, our communities, o...

Off-market listings — sometimes called pocket or private listings — have always carried big risks for sellers.While they’re sometimes pitched as a way to stay “private” or “in control,” the truth is simple: limiting exposure usually limits your results. Unless there’s a real need for privacy, keeping a home off the open market can cost the seller.Starting in May, Zillow — the country’s largest real estate portal — will permanently prohibit any listing that isn’t added to the MLS within 24 hours of public marketing.If a home is marketed to any buyer, it must be available to every buyer — or it won’t appear on Zillow or Trulia at all.(And yes — even those of us with a love/hate relationship with Zillow know that's where buyers are looking.)This change follows updates to NAR’s Clear Cooper...
