Oahu Real Estate | Lanikai Beach Homes for Sale

Aloha ~ I realized that I haven’t written lately about what is going on in my own backyard.

Lanikai!

There are a lot of gorgeous Lanikai homes for sale right now, at various price ranges. There are grand Lanikai beach homes that could be called even mansions. There are also Lanikai Beach homes that are more like beach cottages. One of the great things about Lanikai homes for sale is that there is a lot of variety.

Lanikai recently had the most expensive sale on the island of Oahu.  This was not a Lanikai Beach home, but rather, was a hillside Lanikai home with the MOST extraordiary views. The home did have its own beach, but that was down a large hill. Lanikai real estate is still in high demand, as it is one of the most beautiful locations in all of Oahu. Whether you choose a beachfront home or waterfront home in Lanikai, of a Lanikai view home, you will be pleased, as all homes in Lankai are not too far from the white sandy beach and turquoise waters we all lovel

Ka Malanai - New Condos in Kailua - Buildings 7 and 8

Today, I visited Ka Malanai with a client who put down a deposit for a new condomimum home in Kailua. Yay! Home Shoppe Hawaii is proud to say we have assisted many buyers with their purchase in this new Kailua condominium development. Ka Malanai is the first new condo building in Kailua in over 20 years. Ka Malanai is also on the VA list (VA financing is approved). The floor plans of these new Kailua condominiums are great and there are 1, 2 and 3 bedroom models from which to choose. The prices for 1 BR at Ka Malanai start in the low 600’s. 3 BR are in the upper 800 and 900’s, which is less than the median price of a single-family home in Kailua.

All Ka Malanai units feature beautiful finishes and upgrades, central air conditioning, and are single-level, with elevators in each building. No other Kailua condominium offers these features. 2 and 3 BR units also offer two deeded parking spaces. Kitchens and bathrooms are spacious and beautiful. The hallways are wide. These new Kailua condos feel more like a single-family home than a condominium. The Kailua location also cannot be beat, just a short distance from Kailua Beach and in the center of Kailua Town. They are over 75% owner-occupied, but also make a great investment.

3 BR - Living Room, Floor Plan B

Buildings 1-6 have completely sold out. There are very occasional resales in these buildings. Building 7 was released in November 2016 and Building 8 was released early this month. They are currently under construction, to be finished in July or August 2017. There is still some time to choose your own finishes. With sales of only a few months, out of these 60 new Ka Malanai units (buildings 7 and 8), only 20 remain. Hurry and act quickly, if you are interested in Ka Malanai, because these are going fast. There are still a few of each floor plan available, as of this writing.

Home Shoppe Hawaii represents BUYERS of Ka Malanai condominiums in Kailua, which is still being sold by DR Horton, the developer. The developer has on-site sales people to help you, but you will not be represented, as a client, if you go there without an agent. If you would like exclusive agent representation for this important transaction, please call Home Shoppe Hawaii LLC, Prinicipal Broker, Yvonne Ahearn at 808-721-8088. We can give you more information about which units are available, the prices, and take you on a tour of the property. ~ Aloha

Oahu Real Estate Broker Featured on HGTV House Hunters Kailua Real Estate Episode

Kailua REALTOR and Principal Broker of Oahu Real Estate Brokerage, Home Shoppe Hawaii, Yvonne Ahearn, and her clients, Alex and Eliza Olaru, are being featured on the September 1, 2014 episode of HGTV House Hunters, shown at both 7pm and 10pm HST.

The House Hunters clients looked at real estate in Kailua, Oahu (a beach community 14 miles from Honolulu) including a Lanikai beach home and a Kailua home on the Kawainui Canal, as well as a fabulous view home in Kaneohe’s Lulani Ocean area. The Olaru’s budget was about $1.75 million. The episode was produced by the Laura Patterson of Pie Town Productions. Camera, sound, and production assistance by Jeff Santos and Dominic Pipia III, and Christine Kaaloa.

Left to Right: Dominic Pipia III, Jeff Santos, Alex Olaru, Eliza Olaru, Laura Patterson, Yvonne Ahearn, and Christine Kaaloa. Photo by Diane Pizarro. The Kailua home they toured was in the Koolaupoku neighborhood of Kailua and was at 833 Kainui (Duck) Road, on the Kawainui Canal. It was a large, two-story, new construction home, with a gourmet kitchen full of high-end applicances, and had beautiful spacious rooms and bathrooms. Because the Olarus also live with Eliza’s parents, as well as their two sons, the attached apartment in this home was especially attractive, as was the huge interior square footage. It featured an outdoor kitchen and screened lanai, with beautiful Kailua hillside and canal views. This home was listed for $1.75 million. This home had many of the modern features that Alex was looking for and was nearest to Kailua Beach where Alex prefers to spend time body boarding, and where their sons paddle outrigger canoes.

Here are some photos of this beautiful Kailua home:

The Lanikai, Kailua home featured was, of course, in the Lanikai neighborhood of Kailua and was located in the interior of the Lanikai loop. Since it was on Haokea street, this home was immediately adjacent to one of the best beach accesses in Lanikai, making a quick morning stroll on the beach a breeze. This home was competitively underpriced at $1.5 milion and featured an older, but high-end kitchen, a huge 14,000+ square foot lot, and separate cottage. The downside to this single-level plantation style home is that 3 of the four bathrooms in the main house were in need of a remodel. This home was built originally in the 1930’s so had some of the beach house charm, like french doors, that Eliza was looking for. It also was closest to Eliza’s favorite swimming beach, Lanikai.

Here are some photos of this charming Lanikai beach home:

The last home shown on the House Hunters episode was something that Home Shoppe Hawaii’s broker thought might appeal to both buyers, Eliza and Alex. Located about 10 miles away, in the community of Kaneohe’s Lulani Ocean area, this home had stunning views of Kaneohe Bay from two levels. The home had many of the plantation cottage type details that Eliza liked, but was completely remodeled and featured the upgrades that Alex preferred. The home had deeded ocean access, just across the Kamehameha Highway, though the beach did not really compare to either Kailua Beach or Lanikai Beach. This home was listed at $1.75M.

Here are some photos of this stunning Kaneohe view home:

The Lanikai Kailua real estate market activity in Lanikai picked up in 2013 and has continued in a strong way in 2014. After a relatively slow 2011 and 2012, this was good news to Lanikai residents who had a Lanikai beach house to sell.

Reports say that Hawaii luxury home sales have increased 33% from 2013 to 2014 and these statistics show that.

Kailua Real Estate | Keolu Hills Remodeled Home SOLD $805K FS

Keolu Hills is a great neighborhood in Kailua, near Enchanted Lake. Homes in the area range from plantation-style cottages to executive homes with sweeping views of the ocean and/or Enchanted Lake.

Home Shoppe Hawaii recently helped find and closed on a Keolu Hills Kailua home for some of our delightful VA buyers. This prime piece of Keolu Hills Kailua real estate was a 4/3 home, with 3/2 in the main part of the house and 1/1 as a mother-in-law suite, that could be used for guests or even as a rental. This charming Kailua home for sale was fully remodeled and move-in ready. The kitchen had stainless steel applicances and granite countertops. The entire home had new flooring and all bathrooms were new. All remodels and additions were permitted. The spacious master suite featured two sinks and a shower-tub combo.  The back yard had mature fruit trees and new grass with sprinklers and the home was freshing painted.

Great homes at this price point, particularly those than meet VA Loan requirements, can be hard to find in Kailua. My clients were able to secure this one by acting quickly when the Kailua home fell out of escrow with another buyer. Buying a home in Kailua often requires dilligence and unique buying and offering strategies, given the low inventory and high demand for Kailua real estate that we are currently experiencing.

Please contact me at 808-721-8088 if you would like to hear my unique strategies for helping buyers find a Kailua home.

However, I must accompany you on the first visit to represent you as a BUYER’S AGENT. Please contact me at 808-721-8088 and I can help you get an application in, arrange a notary, and can set up an appointment for us to visit the sales office at your convenience.
