Kailua Real Estate | Kailua Town Condo Sales 2013 (First Half)

Kailua Real Estate - Kailua Town Neighborhood - 2013 Sold Homes

Kailua condominiums in the Kailua Town neighborhood of Kailua sold like hotcakes in the first half of the year. In fact, this neighborhood probably had the lowest days on the market of all neighborhoods in Kailua. Investors and owner occupants alike are scramblng to purchase a Kailua condo while they are still relatively affordable. Now that Kailua single family homes have for the most part crossed above the $650K threshold, for even some of the smallest better-condition homes, condos are still a good option.  Can’t wait to see what happens with the Ka Malanai condos when they finally come to market!
