Hawaii Real Estate
Hawaii (HI) is a chain of popular islands located in the Pacific Ocean (southwest of the U.S.). Not until 1959 was it made a state, becoming the 50th and final state. Hawaii is best known for its major industries of agriculture (bananas, coffee, pineapple, macadamia nuts, taro), and tourism on all islands (Kauai, Oahu, Lanai, Molokai, Hawaii’s Big Island, and Maui). Hawaii is the only U.S. state that is completely surrounded by water. If Hawaii is surrounded only by water then why is Hawaii real estate in such high demand?
It’s simple, Hawaii real estate is paradise…quickly stated. Since real estate in Hawaii is limited then prices tend to be more expensive (its common sense). Due to the fact most everything is imported to Hawaii, food prices and gas prices are higher than normal too. In order for home owners to save money in the real estate selling process many people choose to sell fsbo Hawaii. What is Hawaii fsbo? Basically to compensate for the higher island economic prices home owners are selling homes for sale by owner; without the help of a Realtor or real estate brokerage. Why do this? Selling Hawaii for sale by owner saves the average Hawaii home owner anywhere from 3% to 10% of their homes value, equaling thousands and thousands of dollars. Not only is residential real estate in Hawaii big, but so is commercial real estate in Hawaii. Many commercial real estate businesses thrive in Hawaii such as ABC Stores, Aloha Petroleum, Foodland Hawaii, Koa Coffee Plantation, L&L Hawaiian Barbecue, Polynesian Adventure Tours, and Volcano Winery.
Hawaii real estate varies from island to island. The island of Oahu, meaning “the gathering place” is Hawaii’s third largest island. Oahu is also home to Hawaii’s capital and largest city of Honolulu. Oahu real estate is best known for its amazing beaches, beautiful views and amazing night life. FSBO Oahu is popular because real estate in this area is expensive. Selling Oahu fsbo saves money, and gives Oahu home owners the flexibility to adjust prices to current market value without having to pay expensive commissions. Oahu real estate is also home to Honolulu real estate, the county seat of Honolulu County. Selling fsbo Honolulu is just as big since Honolulu contains almost 1 million inhabitants’. Many people flock to Honolulu for college (Hawaii Pacific University, Chaminade University, and University of Hawaii at Manoa) and need a place to live. When they are finished they often sell their home fsbo Honolulu to save money in order to pay off college tuition. Within Honolulu also lies the ever beautiful and well-known Waikiki and Waikiki Beach. Waikiki is one of the best known beaches in the world and extends to Diamond Head. Waikiki is one of the world’s best tourist attractions with great surfing locations and “Sunset on the Beach” which is a popular free movie event. There aren’t a lot of houses in the Waikiki area so apartments are highly sought after. Apartments Waikiki is a popular term searched, so if you’re looking for a Waikiki apartment make sure you look for that term.
