CONDO
If you are interested in vacation renting these types of units are available to obtain the County of Hawaii short term vacation rental certificate (STVR) if it doesn’t have one already that can transfer to the new owner. To obtain a STVR permit the unit must conform and be located within the required RESORT NODE.
LAND
Land sales in 2021 have tripled. To understand this better here on the Big Island our resources are limited in terms of water, electricity and sewage. For someone needing to understand where on the island has what will explain how real estate is more or less expensive in various areas across the island.
The 4 major districts I mentioned above in West Hawaii (North Kona, South Kona, South Kohala, North Kohala) are completely diverse in weather patterns and depending what elevation suits you ask these questions whats best for you.
Some areas may not have a fresh water source (connected to county) so you have a catchment tank. Sewer in more rural areas or lack there of means you’ll have to install a septic tank, and some very rural areas do not have electric available so off grid means your own power supplies.
The location and sources connected with a property will affect its pricing. For example, the districts of North Kona and South Kohala have fantastic weather and beaches not to mention outstanding sunsets every day of the year.
