Halii Kai Update October 2011- Short sales and Developer still dominates

By
Real Estate Agent with Hawaii Life Real Estate Brokers Big Island
To date, there have been only three resales (non-developer sales) at Halii Kai that were not short sale or foreclosures.  My partner Pam and I just listed and sold Halii Kai 15E for $1,050,000, and although the sellers brought money to closing, it did not go through the short sale process.

In other words, there have only been a total of 20 resales at Halii Kai, of which 7 were bank-owned and 10 were short sales. All three of the non-distressed sales were direct oceanfront condos (and I can proudly say, all were my listings or co-listings).

Excluding developer inventory, there are currently 13 active listings at Halii Kai. But here is the big change: only three of these are short sales, and among them are some competitively priced units that come furnished and in some cases with strong rental bookings in place.

There are 7 Halii Kai condos shown as "contingent" and all of these are short sales with offers that have been submitted to the lienholder banks for approval.
 
Amazingly, the developer has closed 9 villas  in the past two months and have 7 more set to close within 30 days.  

The good news is that at this pace the developer will sell out within the coming winter season. I do not expect that prices will jump dramatically, and there are still a handful of units in the foreclosure pipeline.

If you are interested in hearing more about the short sale, developer, or oceanview/oceanfront resales at Halii Kai, feel free to call or email!

A hui hou,
Beth

Great picture with the sunshine and water and all.  When I was in Hawaii it rained the entire week.

Hey Jeff, which island were you on?  This coast rarely sees rain not even for an entire day rather than week. How are the autumn colors in CT?

What an incredible photo! I love how the bands of the landscaping reflects and play against the home interior.
