Waikoloa Homes in Escrow

There is a large number of Waikoloa homes in escrow – 25 total with a staggering 21 of these homes being either short sales or REO’s. Because these homes take longer to close, many of these homes have been in the escrow pipeline for several months, leading to a build up in homes waiting to close.

While many of these are in the under $300,000 range that has been so popular in Waikoloa, there is an increasing number of buyers willing to pay in the higher price ranges. Ten of the homes in escrow are now priced over $300,000 with one home with a list price over $500,000.
