Hawaii Kai Real Estate Market Update - Condos
For the first 2 months of 2011, the market has been somewhat slow. In February, 14 condos sold, and in January, there were 12 sales. This compares to last year with 6 sales in February, and 15 sales in January. The sales have been spread around most of the complexes, led by the Peninsula and Lalea, each with 3 sales. The fee available homes in Mawaena Kai have been popular, because the lease is still long enough for a 30-year mortgage.
