hawaii island: Same Complex, Different Floor, Different Price
- 10/24/25 03:12 PM
I was running comps for a client today and needed to isolate sales by floor inside the same complex. I used to manually pull them out, but found a new filter that made it much easier. Since I already had all the data in front of me, I might as well throw this article together. When I have more time, I will run the same pull on other complexes. Even inside the same complex at Kona Coffee Villas, the median closed sale price changes a lot depending on which floor the unit is on (condition plays a factor as well): • 1st floor: … (3 comments)
hawaii island: Why North Kona Prices Aren’t Dropping: Inventory Tells the Story
- 10/20/25 11:16 AM

That sounds huge until you remember last year was one of the slowest years we’ve seen in a long time. This is a rebound, not a runaway market. And even with that jump, we’re still about 14% under 2019, which was our last “normal” year before everything got distorted. North Kona Condo/Townhouse Market, September 2025 Median … (1 comments)

- 10/09/24 01:24 PM
