The new Hawaii County Vacation rental property registration is now in force and requires owners with vacation rental properties to register via their application process. I am including a link to the County’s website where you can download the package as well as including the package as a link from my website. The County’s website also includes the new ordinance and rules for reference. For my client’s I can also access the condo guide for reference that has floorpans that can be formatted and printed on 11” x 17” paper. What is lacking are dimensions which may be available from a property manager or others that can fill in the missing information. The County’s process to regulate vacation rentals took 2-3 years of hearings including many opinions regarding vacation rentals in unapproved zones like agricultural areas (AG) areas. There will be many intended and unintended consequences to the new regulations. I believe one of the intended effects will be to primarily condense vacation rentals in the resort zon...

Comments Off on Nohea at Mauna Lani Update April 2019

Sales statistics for the first quarter of 2019 reveal a relatively “flat” market compared to this same period in 2018 for the South Kohala area. Condominium unit volume is down 5% in South Kohala where most sales are condominiums centered within the 3 major resorts with the majority of transactions occurring in the Waikoloa Village and Waikoloa Beach Resort. You can deduce the area where these sales are occurring using the average sales price of $470k as your guide. There are no condominiums for sale in the South Kohala area for sale except in the Waikoloa Village and Waikoloa Beach Resort in this general price range. The number of home sales in South Kohala are also down YOY. This could be because of a lack of inventory. Using the average sales price of $593,000 you can also pin point the majority of transactions occurring in Waikoloa Village. Homes have appreciated faster than condominiums in the post recession years between 2012 - present so it could be it’s time for condominiums to catch up. The last time the a...
