Things Buyers Should Ask Before Purchasing in Hawai‘i

Buying on the islands comes with a few unique considerations. Before you make an offer, be sure to ask these three key questions:

1. IS THE PROPERTY FEE SIMPLE OR LEASEHOLD?

• Fee Simple means you own the land and the home.

• Leasehold means you own the structure but not the land beneath it, which is leased for a set term.

• Always ask how many years remain on a lease and how it affects financing.

2. ARE THERE HOA OR CONDO ASSOCIATION RULES AND FEES?

• Many resort communities, condos, and planned developments have monthly HOA dues.

• These can cover amenities like pools, landscaping, and security — but they can also add significantly to your monthly budget.

• Review restrictions on short-term rentals, renovations, or even pet policies before committing.

3. WHAT INSURANCE WILL I NEED?

• In Hawai‘i, homes may require hurricane, flood, or lava zone insurance depending on location.

• Premiums can vary widely, so factor them into your long-term costs.

• Ask your agent or lender for an insurance estimate early in the process.

• QUICK TIP •

Why Now Is the Time to Buy

If you’ve been waiting for the perfect moment to dive into the Hawaii Island market—this is it.

From lush tropical landscapes and oceanfront views to charming communities from Hilo to Kona, Hawaii County offers a one‑of‑a‑kind blend of island lifestyle and investment opportunity. And right now, a favorable shift in market conditions is giving buyers a unique opportunity to act with confidence and flexibility.

INVENTORY IS EXPANDING

More homes are becoming available across the island, giving buyers a wider range of choices than in previous seasons. Whether you’re looking for a coastal condo, a hillside retreat, or acreage in the countryside, the increase in active listings is opening up new possibilities. This shift in supply is also leading to more flexibility from sellers, which can benefit buyers when it comes to negotiations.

RATES ARE STEADYING

After a period of ups and downs, mortgage rates have leveled off. While they remain higher than the historic lows of a few years ago, the current consistency is giving buyers more confidence to plan and move forward. Many local lenders are also offering creative financing options, such as temporary buydowns or closing cost incentives, helping to make the path to ownership more accessible.

HOME VALUES REMAIN ATTRACTIVE

Hawaii County continues to provide one of the more approachable entry points into Hawaii real estate. Prices have held relatively steady, with only modest shifts compared to the broader state. For many, this makes Hawaii Island an appealing place to enter the market—balancing affordability with long term value and appreciation potential.

MARKET PACE IS CALMING

Homes are taking a bit longer to sell than in past years, which creates a less competitive environment. For buyers, that means more time to consider options, explore different neighborhoods, and negotiate favorable terms. Sellers are adjusting to this new pace, and well prepared buyers are finding opportunities that might not have been available in a hotter market.

A SMART TIME TO INVEST IN HAWAII

With inventory on the rise, rates stabilizing, and values staying steady, September offers one of the most buyer friendly moments in recent memory. Whether your dream is a vibrant coastal lifestyle in Kona, a community focused home in Hilo, or a peaceful retreat in Volcano, the island lifestyle is calling—now is the time to step in before the next wave begins.
