Makaha (Waianae, HI)

Have you ever seen the Makaha Beach Cabanas?  This condo is on a beautiful beach here on Oahu.   No exaggeration, that's how nice the beach is.  In recent years there have been times when listings rarely came up.  Now that's beginning to change.   The reason - the board of directors has decided to enforce Hawaii's laws regarding vacation rentals and now the condo will not "look the other way" when owners rent out their units for less than 30 days.  In other words, the board of directors is choosing to be sure the condo complies with Hawaii state law. There have been many illegal vacation rental units in the building and now the owners are selling.  If you're looking for a beachfront condo to live in, use as a second home or rent long term (at least 30 days at a time) then you're in luck...

My wife and I recently watched "The Informant" - a movie starring Matt Damon.  The movie is based on a true story about a whistleblower at Archer Daniels Midland, a company in Decatur, Illinois. The main character travels around the world and at one point he attends a meeting in Hawaii.  The meeting and a golf outing take place at the Makaha Valley Country Club in West Oahu.  In a golf scene the Makaha Valley Towers are a backdrop to the characters walking along the course.  When you see the movie, keep an eye out for the Towers 'cause you'll only see them for a few seconds. Back in the early 1990's (the period that the events in the movie occurred) this resort was actually the Sheraton Makaha.   Back then I was an auditor for a CPA firm and actually audited the financials of the resort...

When Hawaii's housing market turns downward, the outlying locations seem to get hurt the worst.  Why is this?  Probably because areas like Waianae have less good jobs compared to Honolulu neighborhoods.  Also, when the market begins to recover, people look to the future and where there's room for growth - West Oahu! Now we're back in one of those painful slumps, where some owners are getting hurt.  Buyers with good credit and/or cash are preparing to make their moves on properties.  It's great to make a purchase, knowing that it would have cost more had you bought it a year or two earlier. Where are the deals?  Here are a few: Makaha Shores MLS 2819098 -  a short sale listed for $150,000.  This is a fee simple studio at the famous Makaha surfing beach.  Interior area is 323 square feet ...
