DAN MADDEN developed this table to show all 35 Hawaii Kai condominiums and townhomes: 15 marina-front townhomes, 11 off-marina townhomes, and 9 high-rise or mid-rise condominiums; year built; number of bedrooms available; total number of homes; the median fee simple sale prices and number sold in 2016 to 2019 (YTD); and the percent Turnover (number sold in a year divided by total number of units), a measure of market activity. For Kuapa Isle and Koko Isle, only fee simple marina-front sale prices are used. For the High & Mid Rise CONDOMINIUMS only two bedroom sale prices are used. In all cases, number of sales includes all sales in the complex. Most of the marina-front communities also have off-marina homes; however, all are members of the Hawaii Kai Marina Association, pay dues of $475 per year, have marina privileges, and many have boat dock access. See website for details www.hawaiikaimarina.com. Kalele Kai, Colony, and Esplanade are also marina-front. Napua Point is ocean-front. Monthly maintenance fee for High & Mid Rise two bedrooms ranges from a low of approximately $676 in Heritage House to a high of approximately $1,415 in Mt Terrace; for Townhome three bedrooms from a low of approximately $390 in Nanea Kai to a high of approximately $1,337 in Kalele Kai Townhomes; averaging around $750. Sewer fee is $57 per month for all Hawaii Kai condos and townhomes; some include sewer in the maintenance fee. Taxes range from approximately $125 to $600 per month, depending on size and home exemption; averaging around $175. Most communities are pet-friendly but requirements vary; see house rules and www.hawaiianhumane.org for details.

Higher End Prices Softening!

After 10 years of gradual price increases (4-5% per year), the market’s turning. When a market corrects, it’s common to first see price declines in the higher priced neighborhoods. Island-wide, single family home prices decreased slightly in the last year, from $789K to $785K (essentially flat), while in Hawaii Kai they dropped from $1,185K to $1,092K (8% decline); condos and townhomes, island-wide, $425K to $429K (1% increase) and in Hawaii Kai, $667K to $695K (4% increase). Prices have only gone up around 42% in the last 10 years, a small increase compared to the 140% increases during the two big up-ramps in 1986-1990 and 2000-2006. Accordingly, I would think there is a small chance of a large price correction; more likely flat or a small further decline.
