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!
