Glad the information was helpful. If we can be if any asistance let us know we are here to help Mahalo 🤙🏻

Agree HOA fees are high Older buildings have deferred maintenance and the salt air does a number on all metal. The property insurance increases are as a result of all the natural disasters insurance companies are paying out claims. Nothing anyone can do with these things

Thanks for the comment Glad you liked the video Mahalo Nui Loa 🤙🏻

Thank is a great question. Since I have no medical background the only thing I can say is none of our clients ever complain about allergies.

@realestatekailuakona Mahalo for the answer. Is a plus your clients ever have any complains on this issue. Taking notes 😊

Everyone who lives here require services. The only services that people seem to move away from here is lack of specialized medical services Everything else seems to be readily available

@@realestatekailuakona Cheapest quote to get my basic 4 ton central AC replaced was $19K. How much does that cost in Texas?

Yes there are service providers on the island that charge way more than on the mainland. We ran across that same issue, but shopped out providers and found reasonable priced companies

Your comments are not correct, guess you had some bad feelings about Kona. Young working families have a difficult time buying in most places in Hawaii however you know prices in places like Hilo, Oceanside, Mountain View, Volcano, Captain Cook are much more affordable

@realestatekailuakona What's not correct? It is hot. It is expensive. Homeless, or unhoused, the liberals call them, make many public places horrible. Have you dealt with the health care system? Do you know of any private beaches? What's not correct

You can buy single family homes in Kona in the 700K range and up, it’s not hot in Kona, bums aren’t camping out on your door step and there are no privates beaches anywhere in Hawaii. I have been here for a long time and had no problem finding good doctors and medical care

You've been lucky with the health care. When you look at what 700, 000 buys you, it's expensive. Try living downtown, or adjacent, and you'll have plenty of company outside. Sorry, Kona ain't working for me. I've been here long enough that the high 80s is hot. The East side to me is more affordable and comfortable. But the majority of jobs are in Kona. If you wanna be in the service / tourism industry. The good news is the Democrat politicians love a big government. There's plenty of state or county jobs. I just don't dig real estate people trying to sell houses to mainlanders and sugar coating everything. I've seen these people believe the hype only to leave disappointed

Since you don't know me, I dont tell people what they want to hear, I tell them what they need to hear and that is the truth. Don't like real estate people, we all ain't the same. Sorry you don't like Kona as you know, it's not for everyone

If we can assist in anyway, just let us know. We do work on both sides of the island

The County is addressing short term rentals in residential areas with Bills, 121, 122 and 123. Hopefully this issue gets resolved in 2025

Thanks 👍🏻

Mahalo for your comment and we do plan to make more of these videos.....Maybe its time to come back to the island 🌴🤙

I don't believe the county would allow that, plus you might have an insurance coverage problem with that matter

Aloha. Didnt do an Hilo-Pahoa market update. From our transactions over there, market still doing well, some decline, however interest rates are headint below 6% and that should stimulate the market. If we can be of any assistance let us know.

Thanks for the comment. Not trying to scare you, only want you to know some of the pit falls some people are not aware of. Let us know how we can assist you in anyway. We are here to help

Agree not many mosquitos on the Kona side of the island

Mahalo for the information. Hope you sell it soon

Oops I forgot to mention that......my bad

Thanks for your comments.......yes I may have missed somethings, just trying to give people an idea what to expect if they want to live here.

Thanks for the comments, but the NAR settlement has nothing to do with kickbacks and steering

Right..that's another falsehood, to say the least. Look at the lawsuits coming out in Utah & soon across the country. Just like the old adage "the seller pays for it"..what BS. The "proceeds" come from the Buyers! No sale, no "proceeds" & no seller broker commission! The buyers will then pay interest & principle for the next 30 years!! Including the buyer's commission! I bought my last two homes, including on the big island with attorneys, saved thousands of $$$ and everything worked perfect. And I am NOT an investor, just a primary home buyer. Buyers, look past all these scare videos & tactics. Do your due diligence and don't be afraid to challenge these ripoffs..especially at these prices now.

Sounds like you had a bad experience in the past sorry to hear that.

I'm talking about moving forward for buyers. The MLS hid commissions from buyers, but NOT the Buyers Brokers who could see who would pay & who would not, thereby "steering" buyers to those who would. Or giving a piece of that commission back to the seller, hence "kickbacks". There is a reason the DOJ made this ruling! They don't pick on businesses for nothing! Like stock broker commissions, etc. Buyers will figure it out. Be willing to negotiate a "fair" compensation, excuse me, a concession or leave the business..the golden egg is cracking!

Good points,everyone is affected by the settlement, buyers, sellers and real estate agents, guess we will see how this progresses....

Mahalo!

thanks for the comment......i will be posting a video tour on a wonderful home in Kona Paradise at the end of the month....check back you may like it. If you want info on other homes in Kona Paradise, let me know. We have several clients in that community

Yes you could be a meal for a big 🦈 Thanks for your comment

Beware, You forgot to say that The Hawaiian Islands are infected with democrats!!

Thanks for the suggestion

Can’t stop people from coming at least we can tell them what to expect

@@realestatekailuakona you are exploiting Hawaii

They may go away next year

@@scottp3287 🤣🤣

Yeah that is an option Thanks for your comment

Thanks for your insight

@@jorgej5916 keep thinking that, it's better for nobody else to move here

STR’s could be going away

Thank you for your comments. Yes video was only about Short Term Rentals and the potential changes on the horizon. An increase in available long term rentals would definitely be a plus on the Kona side of the island. Guess we need to see the outcome of our Legislators and how they address the short term rental issues here. More to come once that decision is reached

Okay!

Appreciate your comments. The legislation is actually deciding on Bill 121, 122 and 123 that will change short term rentals on the Big Island. Those who say nothing is going to happen have not been following these Bills. More to come when the legislature makes a decision

​@realestatekailuakona its been very confusing as a mainlander. Im personally thinking of starting a STVR in Kalapana Gardens. When i say everyone i mean contractors mostly, other STVR, B&B owners

Guess you have to decide are you going to apply for a STVR permit and operate legally or run an illegal short term rental property and have no permit? The Bills being considered do have fines that will be imposed on illegally run short term rentals. Just saying

Time will tell where this is going, hopefully no immediate changes

Go camping, stay home. Less is best for Hawaii. Tourists should stay in hotels.

Amen!

@@realestatekailuakona I love your videos, by the way. Thanks for your work!!

Mahalo for watching and your comments!

There could be a price drop if a property no longer had a short term rental permit. That would all depend on location and pricing Not to mention condition and improvements

Oops!

A Bay at Waikoloa Beach Resort

Will put on our to do list

You too!
