They say that Hawaii is a year behind the ‘mainland' (continental U.S.) with the real estate market. With that in mind we are still have a high inventory for short sales especially in the Ewa Gentry and Ocean Pointe areas of Oahu (Honolulu County).

This is still the hot area to get a great deal on a ‘newer' single family home.

More bang for the buck!

Ewa Gentry Single Family Home Market Report September 2009:  We had 44 Active Listings with 37 in contract and 12 sold.  The Ewa Gentry activity has been one of the best neighborhoods for a deal as there are still many short sales to choose from. Now that the Hawaii Home Buyer is wanting to take advantage of that first time home buyer credit we are seeing multiple offers on properties. Average Sales Prices were $448,471 and the DAYS ON MARKET (actively on market before getting an accepted contract...and sold) about 69 days.

Ocean Pointe Single Family Home Market Report September 2009 We had 24 Active Listings with 19 in contract and 10 sold.  Again, there are many short sale listings receiving multiple contracts and with these newer homes you just can't beat the prices. Sales Prices ranged from $422,000 for a 3 bdrm home to $665,00 for a 2,704 sq/ft 5 bdrm home with average days on market (actively on market before getting an accepted contract...and sold) about 63 days.

 Supporting Hawaii Local Businesses! 

About a week and a half ago I was at the office and  I get a call on my cellular.Hmm...long distance. Bet it's a telemarketer. Hit ignore. The office phone rings and she asks for ... ME. Wouldn't you know it was her calling on my cellular hahaha!  Her husband came back from Iraq and saw my sites all over the internet so they called me. They are Military Relocating to Hawaii in December.

Talk about PRO ACTIVE in their search for a home! We now have an accepted contract (today) and they are flying in from California for their home inspection scheduled for Saturday. (and they get to see Hawaii for the first time in their lives!)

In communities such as the one my clients chose there are maintenance fees.It is a single family home but within a condo ownership association. I spoke with the on-site manager this morning because I wanted to find out what the maintenance fees take care of.

The maintenance fees take care of:

• Termite treatment - After the current six year contract is up with the liquid treatment they're moving on to the Sentricon System.
• Community Pool(and the on-site manager says it's the best in the area :)
• Recreation Center
• Parks and landscaping around the community
• Bulk of the homeowners insurance (just like condos ...get insurance for the inside of the home)
• Roads and street lights within the community
• Water
• Sewer

The Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii area has grown tremendously since developers starting building new homes starting from the 1990's.  They are still building but since the inventory is high for resales in this area they have slowed down a little and started offering more incentives.

• And....Kapolei Golf Course

If you are Military Relocating to Hawaii, Civilian Relocating due to a job change,  Retiring to paradise, or just a change in lifestyle you'll find that you will get more bang for your buck in the Ewa Gentry and Ocean Pointe areas.  

My client's who are Relocating to Hawaii from Lynchburgh, Virginia arrive this week. After working with them since November they asked me to set showing appointments in the Ewa Gentry-Ocean Pointe areas because of 1) more for their money  2) big inventory (therefore many to choose from)  3) many newer homes available 4) More vacant homes (so hopefully a quick closing).
