Shortage of Homes For Sale, Oahu, Hawaii Dec 21, 2012

There is a severe shortage of homes for sale on Oahu, Hawaii.  This is both for existing homes and new construction.  Buyers and their real estate agent need to be ON TOP OF THE MARKET or they will miss out on the homes that come on the market.  If a new property comes on the market, you MUST go out to see it as soon as possible because if you wait til the weekend or until the next week, the house will most likely be taken by someone else assuming it is priced correctly, it is in decent condition and it is in a good location.  For new home sales, developers are using the “lottery system” to sell houses.  Yes, that’s right, people are having to “win” the right to buy a home in Hawaii!

A few of the hottest markets are Ewa Beach, Kapolei, Makakilo, Koolina, Mililani and Waikele.  For more information on Hawaii real estate, Short Sales in Hawaii, VA loans in Hawaii and any other real estate information on the island of Oahu, contact David Kucic of Hawaii Military Realty, Inc.

Kapolei Hawaii Development Update

The city of Kapolei, Hawaii on the island of Oahu continues to grow and to move forward with new roads and construction projects.  As I drove through Kapolei the other day, I noticed that the new urban core roads heading back to the future Foodland grocery store are now open.  A few other things that are going on in Kapolei are:  New interchange with the H-1 Highway near the Kapolei movie theatre, the stoplights are in position but not functioning yet at the intersection by Costco and Outback Steakhouse, Brickoven Pizza is open for business and Kamokila Boulevard is finally get a repaving to fill in all of the damage that was done when Kamokila Boulevard was the only road through the city of Kapolei.  Hopefully the whole Kamokila Boulevard from Ft Barrett Road all he way to Costco will get repaved.

Living in Ewa Beach, Hawaii and having the city of Kapolei just 10 minutes away is the perfect blend of city life and suburban life.  Ewa Beach doesn’t have many shopping centers and for the shopping centers that are in Ewa Beach, they really only service the people that live in Ewa Beach.  There aren’t people coming to Ewa Beach to shop at our small amount of stores.  That will change soon when City Mill opens in the new Laulani Shopping Center in Ewa Beach.

Both the cities of Kapolei and Ewa Beach are great places to live, work and play.  The homes for sale in Ewa Beach and Kapolei, including Makakilo and Koolina Resort are some of the finest built homes on the island of OahuOahu homes for sale are already in short supply and they are definitely in short supply in Kapolei, Ewa Beach, Koolina and Makakilo.  This is because people are discovering the great way of life in these areas.

The new Walmart located in Kapolei, Hawaii on the island of Oahu continues to be constructed pretty quickly.  As of Sep 5, 2011, the roof is about 50% completed. 

It is located in the city of Kapolei at the intersection of Kamokila Blvd and Ft.
