The new “Residence Two” home in Ewa Beach, Hawaii is located in Kipuka at Hoakalei in the resort community of Hoakalei.  This Residence Two house is approximately 1,690 square feet which does NOT include the garage.  The Residence Two has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and the prices start around $625,000.  The Residence Two home is part of the Garden Series which are located in the interior units within the Kipuka private and gated community.  The other homes in the community are part of the Golf Series along the 15th, 16th and 17th fairways of Hoakalei Golf Course and Hoakalei Country Club.  For more details on these houses for sale or any other houses for sale in Hoakalei Resort, Ka Makana at Hoakalei, Ewa Beach, Oahu, Hawaii VA Home Loan information, contact your Ewa Beach, Hawaii real estate specialists at Hawaii Military Realty, Inc.

The new home community of Kipuka at Hoakalei is scheduled to open next month in Ewa Beach, Hawaii.  The current community of Ka Makana at Hoakalei is almost all sold out except for a few more golf course frontage lots.

Kipuka at Hoakalei will be a gated community that will have both Golf Course Frontage Homes on the Ernie Els designed Hoakalei Country Club and Garden Homes are said to look onto a park-like setting.

Although there are no floor plans or prices that have been announced yet, I expect that the homes will range in size from around 1,400 sf interior up to 1,700 or 1,800 sf.  The homes don’t look anywhere as large as the previous homes in Ka Makana at Hoakalei.  I would expect prices to be in the 550k range for the garden homes up to around 800k for the golf course frontage homes.  With a gated community, private pool and private areas in Kipuka at Hoakalei, you can probably expect a monthly maintenance fee of somewhere in the $500 per month or higher range.

The golf course frontage homes have garages that are located underneath the homes while the garden homes have the traditional Haseko designed garages behind the homes and either detached or attached to the back of the home.

How much value will an appraiser give you for your Hawaii home if you have photovoltaic (PV) panels on your house?

There is no black and white answer.  I spoke to an appraiser today and asked that question.  The appraiser said that they would give approximately 1/3 to 1/2 of the cost of the panels.  For example, if the home owner purchased the panels for 40k, then the appraiser would give approximately 13k to 20k value on the appraisal of the house.

Appraisers realize that home owners buy the pv panels and then in most cases, they are able to get a 35% state tax credit in Hawaii and a 30% federal tax credit.  The tax laws are complicated enough and PV tax credits are even more confusing.  I am not a tax expert so please consult one if you have detailed questions.

Our wonderful Governor put a limit on the tax credits on Jan 1, 2013.   The tax credit used to be better than it is now for the state of Hawaii.

Did you lease a photovoltaic system for your house rather than purchasing one?  I asked the appraiser about this scenario and the appraiser told me that if they find out the system is leased, they will give ZERO value to the home since the home owner paid nothing for the system.
