mauna lani real estate 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 real estate 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 real estate for sale: Villages at Mauna Lani Still in the Action
- 03/06/11 11:46 AM
Now for sale: Villages at Mauna Lani 609 has a private lanai with built-in summer kitchen (MLS 242842) In the market update on Villages at Mauna Lani I wrote at the end of January (5 weeks ago), I reported that the next sale in the Lehua floorplan would be 219, and it was. It sold cash, quick close, for $750,000. I also reported multiple offers on the Peggy Chesnut-furnished Kahili floorplan listed for $1,498,000. That set of offers was rejected as the seller held out for closer to list price. As of Friday this one is contingent. That left slim … (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)
mauna lani real estate for sale: Three Best Deals - Mauna Lani Real Estate
- 02/21/11 07:03 AM
Last Tuesday (Feb 15) I heard from a buyer client who'd made unsuccessful offers on several Kohala Coast condos during their visit last year. He's coming back next month and still looking for a screaming deal. "If you were to pick the 3 best at Mauna Lani what would they be?" he asked. I named these three: An REO (bank-owned post foreclosure) at Fairways at Mauna Lani for $469,900--priced exactly where others of the same floorplan have recently sold. A pre-auction property for sale at the Islands at Mauna Lani, $507,115 list price. The lowest priced 2BR unit at Mauna Lani … (3 comments)
mauna lani real estate for sale: Market Update: Villages at Mauna Lani
- 01/27/11 06:06 AM
A month ago I wrote about the dwindling inventory of property for sale at several of the Mauna Lani Resort condo communities. I mentioned that two of the four remaining sub-$1 million listings had gone into escrow, and that as we were heading into the high season for resort real estate on the Kohala Coast, that suggested higher prices were in sight. Villages at Mauna Lani is an interesting case in point. Only one of the larger Maile floorplan remains on the market
Furnishings have now been removed, but the built-in grill remains at this Villages at Mauna Lani … (0 comments)
