Honolulu Real Estate | Kapahulu Home with Ocean Views SOLD: $706,500 FS

Home Shoppe Hawaii is pleased to have recently helped our Buyers purchase a Honolulu Home at 3518 McCorriston Street in the Kapahulu neighborhood of Diamond Head.  This was a private sale of an unlisted Honolulu property that Home Shoppe Hawaii arranged on behalf of our clients. Because this Kapahulu home was not listed, Home Shoppe Hawaii managed both sides of the transaction, though we represented only the Buyers on the transaction. Having no listing agent resulted in significant savings to my Buyers in their purchase.  It also enabled my Buyers to purchase this home without having outside competition. Due to the low inventory we are experiencing on Oahu, most single family properties in the Diamond Head area of Honolulu receive multiple offers.

This Kapahulu home, in the Diamond Head region of Honolulu, was built in the 1930s and had some of the traditional details of homes of this period. Unfortunately, there had been a lot of deferred maintenance and the home was in average to fair condition. The location is great, however, just a short walk to Monsarrat Ave and Kapiolani Park, as well as Waikiki Beach. The second story of this home featured ocean and Diamond Head views, which was exactly what my clients desired.

Purchasing homes in a Sellers’ market requires unique strategies to help Buyers find the home of their dreams. Home Shoppe Hawaii thinks outside of the box to help secure the home you want and frequently has access to unlisted homes. Contact Home Shoppe Hawaii at 808-721-8088 to hear how we can help you find a great Honolulu home.

The Diamond Head Estate of Doris Duke | Honolulu Real Estate

A few days ago, I visited the home of Doris Duke (1912-1993) who was, at one time, one of the wealthiest women in the world. Doris Duke first visited Hawaii (along with various Muslim countries) on her honeymoon in 1935 and like many others, fell in love with our wonderful islands and decided to stay, at least seasonally.
