Deal – Lowest Priced Honua Kai Resort Condo Just Listed for $619,900

Honua Kai Hokulani #528 was just recently listed at the Honua Kai Resort and Spa for $619,900 making it the lowest priced active listing in all of Honua Kai Resort. This type of property represents the entry level of what is available at Honua Kai and also one of the strongest cash and cash returners when current vacation rental income is taking into account minus current operating costs. See all listing details on Hokulani #528.

The verdant West Maui Mountains, also known as Mauna Kahalawai “the meeting of the waters” to geologists, and to Hawaiians as Mauna Komohana, serve as the backdrop on the mauka (mountain) or backside of the Honua Kai Resort. Hokulani #528 has an excellent view of Mauna Kahalawai from its 165 sq.ft. covered lanai.

I originally blogged about Hokulani #528 in January of this year when the owner put it up for sale along with 3 other mountain view units he owned – 4 New One Bedroom Mountain View Units at Honua Kai. He sold 3 of the 4 properties, but began to see the market rising and decided to pull #528 off the market for a bit.

I anticipate that his train of thought will work well as shortly after I closed the 3rd of the 4 properties at $525,000 another one bedroom mountain view unit of the same square footage, Hokulani #724, closed for $610,000.

It is important to point out that the buyer of Hokulani #724 paid a premium as they obtained owner financing rather than conventional financing and there are typically a premium on the sales because Sellers are at a risk by carrying the paper on the property.

I represented Craig Kojima and his ohana on the recent purchase of Hokulani #728 (an identical unit 2 floors up from #528 earlier this year) for $525,000 and the market has continued to climb on entry level units at Honua Kai. See what Craig had to say about his purchasing experience in working with our team: One Bedroom/One Bath Mountain View Unit at Honua Kai Sold for $525,000.

Why Would You Want to Invest in a Hokulani Condo?

Rental income figures at Honua Kai Resort are becoming progressively better. (Check out a past post here: Honua Kai Rental Income Figures.) No, you are not going to get the property at rock bottom prices like the owner paid for this property and at the price when the owner listed the property, but you are still getting in to Honua Kai at an excellent time.

Take a leap of faith and know that you are in good hands and that…

There is far less uncertainty in the real estate market now as there was in 2011 when the prices at Honua Kai were at their lowest. Many real estate pundits advise to get the entry level unit or home in an exceptional condo or neighborhood rather than owning the best property in an inferior area. Honua Kai is clearly an exceptional ownership opportunity.

…the real question that you need to ask yourself is….

…why wouldn’t I invest in Honua Kai today before…

…the sun sets and…

…the light of opportunity goes out

I am here to help keep the light on for you. Reach out today and let me help you make it happen.

Aloha from Ka’anapali, Maui,
