Lanikai!

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

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.
