Hawaii Relocations: The Mililani Community on Oahu, Hawaii

If you are planning on a Relocation to Hawaii you may want to consider the community of Mililani, Hawaii which is centrally located on the island of Oahu in Honolulu County. Mililani is a Master Planned Community and we have a population of approximately 30,000 people. The first homes went up for sale around June 1968 and our H-2 freeway opened in 1976 which lessened the time to travel to Honolulu. With three shopping centers, a 14 plex theater, 7 recreation centers (5 have pools), parks, Mililani Golf Course and activities galore we have a lot of what we need in our central location.

 My parents bought their brand new Castle and Cooke home in 1971 in Mililani Town which is on the west side of the freeway. My mom still lives in that same house a few blocks from my office although the community is HUGE compared to 'way back then'. Our Mililani Town Community Association does inforce covenants and design standards so be aware there are subdivision documents to look over and abide by as a a new homeowner and resident.

In 1986 Mililani was named an "All American City" and IS the only community in Hawaii to receive this distinction and in 1990 there was a ground breaking ceremony for Mililani Mauka which was to be a much newer and much more modern side of the community on the east side of the H-2 freeway.

We have had many more milestones and tributes such as "2004 American Idol contestant,  Jasmine Trias" who was a Mililani resident and Money Magazine's 2005 article that named Mililani as one of the best places to live.  

In Be Part of the Solution For Your Market; Because "Shift" Always Happens I gave a few median sales prices statistics over the years and it was pretty general for the island of Oahu.

The following statistics will give you a better idea on how our market is doing in the Mililani Community during the past month from December 1, 2007 until today.  Our prices have not gone down but a smidgen and in fact had gone up until the last quarter of 2007.  Our market is currently stable as far as sales prices are concerned although the number of sales went down over the last year although the activity is surely picking up the last month!

Sally - I just saw on the news that Hawaii now has more millionaires than any other state. That's incredible and only good for your economy. I love your relocation pieces..you do such a great job for your clients.

Our stats actually slipped to fourth place!  Hawaii was first in 2006 and slipped last year.

Thanks Linda...you always have nice things to say...sure takes awhile to piece stuff like this together :)

Sally another very informative post.  It's sure good to see such short average days on market!

01/11/2008 07:54 PM by Laguna Homes|Laguna Condos| Laguna Real Estate|Marlene Bridges (Sherman Smith & Associates)


Safest area....I like that....and anyone buying in the area will like it too :) You also have a great Park there, and it is pretty green......

01/11/2008 08:03 PM by CELLing Realty


Doing well with days on market there. Oh how I want to come.  Maybe next year.  I long for Hawaii.  It is close to heaven I believe.

01/11/2008 08:09 PM by Pat Baker Real Estate Expert Needham, MA (Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage )


I love yourLocalism posts, Sally. Wish I was going to have time to spend in Mililani. See you in a couple of weeks.

Sally, those are fantastic DOM numbers.  Guess that's what happens when you live in paradise!

01/11/2008 08:23 PM by Lisa Heindel, New Orleans West Bank Real Estate (Latter & Blum Inc. Realtors)


Mililani residents are so lucky to have an expert like you, who also LOVES the area.

01/11/2008 08:31 PM by Margaret Woda, Maryland REALTOR (RE/MAX VISION)


Marlene: Still not too bad...in fact, the past month it's shorter time on the market. The only ones that stay up there a long time are the ones still overpricing :)

P.S. Now remember...other neighborhoods like EWA are a different story....stay tuned.

Kathy: We have MANY parks here...love it. (I think the one you're talking about was the big regional one by Waipio Gentry though ...remember?)

01/11/2008 08:37 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Pat: Mililani is a highly desirable (because it's centrally located and a planned community) area therefore if priced right....they go. Some stay on the market for just a few days.

Jeff: Thanks!  I've lived around this area most of my life....maybe you can take a drive :)

01/11/2008 08:42 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Lisa: Nope...just the past month in paradise...and in particular....Mililani on Oahu. I'll give more updates on other neighborhoods next. It's always about neighborhoods.

Margaret:  Thanks there Margaret...I do love it here!

01/11/2008 08:44 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Sally- OOPS! I see your post again and I guess it was not finished when I posted my comment, because I actually was the first person to comment on this post. This is great info and I would love to have those DOM's over here! Katerina

01/11/2008 09:26 PM by Nestor & Katerina Gasset, Realtors® Wellington Florida Luxury Homes (International Properties and Investments, Inc.)


Sally, I'd have to wonder who wouldn't want to live there, you've got a bit of paradise.  Every time you post Hawaii moves up on my list of places to see :)  It really does sound beautiful and I really do plan on coming there one day, I've got to see all this in person!

01/11/2008 09:28 PM by Carole Provenzale Owner, Feng Shui Long Island (Feng Shui Long Island)


Hi  Sally, This sounds like a wonderful place to call home. I favor planned communities even with all the rules that must be adhered to. Are you a part of the Mililani Community Association. If not I would bet they would be very happy for your involvement. Then again, who wouldn't be, :-)

How are you? Getting ready for family on the 22nd and seem to be more busy than this time last year. Lots of new potential business and it is keeping me hoping around like a bunny.

I posted today the news about B of A and Countrywide and there seems to be a lot of mixed feelings as to if this is good news or not. I personally think it is.

I mentioned you to one of clients yesterday who owns property in Oahu. They own a 3 Bedroom that rented till May but then they want to sell and I recommended you and told them all about you. So hopefully as the times nears I will be sending you a referral. Ya See , if you get the listing, it might be necessary for me to fly over there and check to make sure you are doing all the marketing just perfectly,:-).

Hey any excuse to get there would be so fun to meet you and your family. Sure am envious of the CRS group and all the great new personal friends you will make in that group when they arrive there later this month.

Stay well and Happy!
Your Friend Always and Always,
William

Katerina: No kidding. I saw your comment and I was like....oooppps. You should know...I don't just put stats and that's it...hahaa. The DOM's are just in Mililani. Wait until I do another neighborhood ...they are like night and day....believe me.

Carole:  I think because I stress all the different part of Hawaii....it really IS more than just real estate :) ...I believe more of you will come so I can meet you all  woohoo!

01/11/2008 10:35 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


William: I now live about 5-10 minutes away ....down the hill and up haha....but the office is there and I grew up there...my kids did too...my mom is a few blocks from the office (2 minutes hehe).  Well, then. Let's get you over here ....woohoo! What a way to make sure we meet! Love it William....  Enjoy the family...and I'll enjoy the gang when they come. Talk to you soon William!

01/11/2008 10:39 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


I agree that this is a very nice place to live, I have only driven thru once in a rental car, but I thought it was indeed a nice town. Lance

01/12/2008 12:10 AM by Lance Winslow (The Car Wash Guy)


Your market in Mililani seems like it isn't doing so bad as our market is flooded with many homes for sale.

01/12/2008 06:36 AM by Neal Bloom-Realtor ® Assoc.-CRS-Weston FL (RE/MAX Premier Associates)


Sally - You always do such a teffific job promoting your area. You tell tell that you have a passion for Hawaii. Having someone with your expertise as a guide would be wonderful.

01/12/2008 11:39 AM by Bill Gassett Metrowest Massachusetts Real Estate (RE/MAX Executive Realty)


Lance: That's nice.

Neal: I'll be doing more of a series on different areas...we'll see what's going on in other neighborhoods.

01/12/2008 11:40 AM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Hey Bill: I'm glad I get that point across to the readers and hey...taking new relocation clients around and knowing what I'm talking about is a big plus.  :)

01/12/2008 12:25 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)


Woo Hoo Sally...

I popped in to make sure you're behaving yourself...

And what do I find? Balance...That's what :)

TLW...ROAR!  

01/12/2008 04:53 PM by "The Lovely Wife"...Broker Bryant's Wife... (Co-Owner Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.)


Sally sounds like a great community, but three shopping centers????  My wife would never be home, and I would have to move in with you and Gary because I would be broke ……. LOL

01/12/2008 06:48 PM by George Souto (McCue Mortgage Co.)


I am constantly amazed at the sheer beauty of the islands, no matter where you take the photo.  I must be very relaxing to be able to see water or mountains in almost every view. 

Those home prices don't look so bad either.

 

01/12/2008 07:07 PM by Lenn Harley, Homefinders.com, MD & VA Real Estate


TLW: Why of course :)  I grew up :)

George: Two are medium sized ones but the Mililani Town Center is pretty big...including WalMart and a City Mill in the outer parts. By our office is Ross Store...woohoo!  You'd sleep under the desk then....because our one bedroom is way small and our living room is all office haha.

Lenn: Yeah it is....no wonder I love it here :) Not too bad....the ones that go quicker are the 500-600k range.

01/12/2008 07:39 PM by Celeste "SALLY" Cheeseman (RA), Hawaii Real Estate & Hawaii Relocation (Century 21 Liberty Homes -Mililani, Hawaii)
