There are not a lot of homes for sale in Ewa Beach, Hawaii that dont already have offers on them.  While it looks like there might be a lot of homes for sale in Ewa Beach because you see the “For Sale” signs in front of the houses, that doesnt necessarily mean that they are avaialble.  Once a “For Sale” sign is placed in front of any home for sale on Oahu, Hawaii, it will almost always remain in front of that home until the transaction closes.  Sometimes, especially with the short sales on Oahu, this could take up to 6 or 8 months.

If you want to know what properties are really for sale in Hawaii and that dont already have offers on them, contact Hawaii Military Realty at (808) 218-9338 or email to david@davidkucic.com.

For more information on VA Loans and how Veterans can purchase a home in Hawaii, please call your Hawaii Military Relocation expert, David Kucic, President/Owner of Hawaii Military Realty, Inc. at (808) 218-9338 or email to:  david@davidkucic.com.

The property tax rates in Honolulu County Hawaii for the year 2012 to 2013 for residential properties are $3.50 per $1,000 of assessed value.  For example, the median home price on Oahu is approximately $650,000.  Lets assume that the tax assessed value is also $650,000.  The annual tax for this example of Hawaii real estate would be $3.50 x 650 = $2,275 per year.  This breaks down to a rate of approximately $190 per month.

Taking it one step further, if you file your “Hawaii Property Tax Exemption Form” and are entitled to the $80,000 tax exemption, then using the same figure above, you would take the assessed value of $650,000 and subtract $80,000 which means your taxable value is $570,000.  At a tax rate of $3.50 per $1,000 of assessed value, this would make the annual tax $1,995 or $167 per month.

The other Hawaii county tax rates are:  $5,75 for Maui County, $5.55 for Hawaii County (the Big Island) and $3.05 for Kauai County.

I am not a tax professional or a tax attorney but I do have common sense and I know how to read and follow simple instructions such as using available information to determine examples of estimated property tax payments.

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 Oahu.  Oahu 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.
