Buyers often request which bank owns the property. Dealing with each bank can be vastly different whether you are purchasing a Kauai REO or a Kauai Short Sale

You can search the entire state of Hawaii at the Hawaii Life website, and even set up your own account there.

Upcoming listings include some units at the Waipouli Beach Resort. This project, located across the street from the Kauai Village Shopping Center, was sold at the height of the market. It's an amazingly high quality construction, with the utmost in amenities. However, with super high maintenance fees, the market would not sustain the original developer prices. With the start of REOs in this complex, I anticipate the prices are going to adjust rapidly just as they did with other similar projects like the Aston Island on the Beach and the Hilton Kauai Beach Resort. If you want a deal at Waipouli Beach resort, keep your eye on the market. Here is a list of all the units for sale at the Waipouli Beach Resort today.
