I just sold and closed Villages at Mauna Lani #603 to my buyer client from St. Louis! My client was initially interested in one of my other listings in Kulalani at Mauna Lani but through their due diligence including many questions, decided The Villages offered a great value for the amount of quality square footage and community amenities in comparison. The buyer found the large bedrooms with en-suite baths, large great room with views to the spacious lanai and outdoor kitchen were really the features that added value and sealed the deal. They also mentioned that they found my vast knowledge of the community very helpful and assuring during their search process as they initially did not consider The Villages as a choice. We are one of the few original owners left in our community of 130 units and as past president of The Villages AOAO, I was able to answer the most minute questions regarding our beautiful community. Every community including The Villages has nuanced and obvious advantages and disadvantages depending on the b...

This blog post is intended to update you regarding a few statistics you may find interesting concerning The Villages at Mauna Lani.  In this update I will concentrate on a comparison of our community and Ka Milo focusing only on what I believe to be the best indicator of market strength in one community versus a comparable community-Days On Market (DOM) until sold.  Days On Market until sold gives you a good indicator of multiple factors including the buyer’s opinion of value relative to general condition of the community, the unit for sale’s condition including view, AOAO fee and finally their opinion of the common area including the pool and recreation center. The longer a home is on the market, the less it is worth as buyer’s view extended DOM as an indication that something is negatively affecting the unit’s value that they may not be aware.  Therefore, pricing a home correctly when listed initially, based on an accurate assessment of the current market value is the quickest method to sell and close real estate.�...
