mauna lani condo for sale: Villages at Mauna Lani - New Foreclosure (REO) listings
- 06/21/11 10:12 AM
The Villages at Mauna Lani has two new foreclosure (REO) listings on the market in the past few days. Inventory had dwindled down to nothing in the the Lehua and Maile 3-bedroom floorplans at the Villages at Mauna Lani, with Villages 313 (the larger Maile) closing last week for $895,000 and Villages 609 (the smaller Lehua) closing two weeks earlier for $750,000. Suddenly seeing nothing for sale drew out five new Villages at Mauna Lani istings in the past 15 days, of which two are bank-owned properties (REO). Three of these, including one listed as a short sale, are not … (2 comments)
mauna lani condo for sale: New Listing at Mauna Lani Terrace Looks Priced to Sell
- 05/16/11 06:08 PM
A new listing released today at Mauna Lani Terrace looks priced to sell at $1,695,000. I say it is "priced to sell" because (1) it is a coveted third floor "penthouse", as were all three of the Mauna Lani Terrace condos sold so far in 2011, and (2) it is priced very close to where the two bedroom units actually sold...and (3) the list price is $100,000 below the asking price of the other 3rd floor Mauna Lani Terrace condo in the "D' Building, which is also for sale.

mauna lani condo for sale: New Listing at Villages at Mauna Lani Makes Three -OOPS two
- 05/13/11 05:03 AM
Thank goodness for a new listing at Villages at Mauna Lani! When I saw the new listing, I felt like saying "and baby makes three!" Until Wednesday of this week, the only two choices were not ones that would work for most Villages buyers, and certainly not for the buyer I was scheduling appointments for today.
New Villages at Mauna Lani condo for sale (MLS 244710) shows luxury finishes valued by buyers The REO (bank -owned post-foreclosure) that has been on the market since January did not sell at auction, and stayed on the market at a reduced price of … (2 comments)
The smallest Honua A single-level paired home floorplan comes with a $25,000 credit and the larger free standing homes gets $50,000 towards furniture. My understanding is that they have sold at least one of the homes currently under construction, in the building closest to the entrance. Ka Milo chose an unusual framework for construction, sprinkling buildings throughout the site in their first phase, and now filling in … (1 comments)
mauna lani condo for sale: Update on Wai'ula'ula Condos for Sale
- 05/06/11 01:08 PM
It is rare that I would blog about Wai'ula'ula condos for sale twice in one week, but for the third time in three years we are suddenly seeing a feeding frenzy of activity at this Mauna Kea Resort complex. To recap, on Monday I reported trying to show a Wai'ula'ula new REO (bank-owned after foreclosure) listing last weekend, to discover there were already two offers on it. I also reported the Wai'ula'ula M201 had a price reduction to $895,000 to compete with the REO. With the flurry of showings, that particular unit did not get an offer, but the one right … (0 comments)
mauna lani condo for sale: Escape to a Condo at Fairways at Mauna Lani Resort
- 04/19/11 06:12 AM
Although I live only 30 minutes away, I spent my birthday weekend relaxing in a condo at the Fairways at Mauna Lani Resort. One of the best things about living on the Big Island is how easy it is to take a mini-vacation and escape! Over the course of the past year or so I've camped here in North Kohala, and rented a cottage on the beach at Puako, an ocean-view home with pool at Kohala Estates, and an Alii Drive vacation home to cook Thanksgiving dinner in Kailua Kona. For sheer convenience and chill factor, the condo at Mauna Lani … (0 comments)
mauna lani condo for sale: New Short Sales at Mauna Lani Condos
- 03/30/11 05:40 AM
Just when we thought Ka Milo and Kulalani were sold out of their built inventory, we have two competitively priced short sales at these Mauna Lani condos! Because the initial sales at both complexes took place at the peak of the market, the developers had to reduce their prices over the past few years in order to sell out their current phase. With strong demand and the last few developer units having just sold, it is not surprising to see resales trickle onto the market. But owners who bought early are in the uncomfortable position of taking a loss or facing … (0 comments)
mauna lani condo for sale: Mauna Lani Point Holding Values
- 03/14/11 04:17 PM
View from Mauna Lani Point 2-bed condo which sold last week for $2.1 million--a recent high price. Mauna Lani Point condos for sale are holding their value. The surprise of last week was the sale of Mauna Lani Point E202--technically not on the market--for $2.1 million. This is the first time an ocean view 2-bedroom has cracked the $2 million mark in 3 years and is an indication of a gradually strengthening market. Mauna Lani Point owners simply have not given in to the effects of distress sale pricing that have hit newer oceanfront and ocean view condo communities on … (3 comments)
mauna lani condo for sale: Another Islands at Mauna Lani condo in escrow
- 03/08/11 10:41 AM
Gracious entrance to an Islands at Mauna Lani condo conveys the peaceful environment at this complex When my business partner Pam found a super deal at the Islands of Mauna Lani for buyer clients last December, that was the first sale in that complex in over two years. The 2008 sales prices ranged from $1,085,000 for a 2-bedroom to $1,625,000 for a great 3-bedroom. That's why Pam's 2010 sale shocked the real estate community, as the price paid by her lucky buyers was only $650,000 for a 3-bedroom. Sometimes when the listing says "motivated sellers", it means just that...and this … (0 comments)
Mauna Lani Terrace is situated on the resort's famous fish ponds...this photo taken from the path to the Beach Club There are discerning buyers who tell me they consider Mauna Lani Terrace the most desirable condominium property on the Kohala Coast. It was the first condominium complex built at the Mauna Lani Resort, and therefore grabbed the best location, walking distance from the Mauna Lani Beach Club and hotel. With many of the current owners having purchased long before the recent real estate boom, the short sales and REOs that plague newer projects have not affected prices at Mauna … (4 comments)
