What to Know about buying Condos in Kona and West Hawaii

Are you thinking about buying a home in Hawaii? Hawaii Island has a hot housing market making condos an alternative to single family homes. We have received so many questions about the ins and outs of buying a condo on the island, that we sat down with one of our REALTOR partners, Delania Branham, eXp Realty, and give you the scoop on HOA's, pros and cons of buying a condo, what you need to know about CC&R's/House Rules/Insurance and more.

Assessment is the HOA/AOAO fee, but a special assessment is beyond the monthly fee. It’s for particular expenses that were not planned or beyond the association reserve planned levels.

informative video, thanks for this! am heading there in a couple of weeks :)

[@stargazer5073]

Be helpful to show map and discuss one area at a time.

[@rssea814]

Wow, what a great agent!

[@wischfulthinking]

So do you guys have a website or something else? Is it just this UA-cam channel or is there another place to find info? I don’t see links or anything in your video descriptions.

[@archierose1432]

Stop hitting the table.

Thanks for taking the time to do this. Took a look at the Pines based on this and had a couple questions. Are the Pines zoned for STVR? Are there other properties like this Pines near or in Kona?

[@365HawaiiRealEstateInfo]

Aloha @Bytey3 - We are going to let Delania address that comment..hold tight!

[@flipvideouploads]

Aloha! The Pines have a 30 day minimum for rentals so most of the owners are full or part time residents. It's a pretty unique property having a single family home with HOA's that maintain the exterior of the home. Anything else with that much coverage is going to look like a more traditional condominium. Hope that helps!

Can you do a video about the tiny unpermitted agricultural dwellings on land zoned agricultural?

[@365Hawaii]

Sorry..many of those dwellings are unpermitted and would cause a problem for the owner if we highlighted them on video. Those dwellings are illegal for the most part.

[@luckylenny8634]

@@365Hawaii That's why you need to inform us rather than sweep it under the rug

[@birdcreek1]

Is there a firm or company that will work with building department to clean up permits that haven’t been closed

[@365Hawaii]

Not that I am aware of. Condo managers were responsible for doing that when the flurry began to clean up those permits.

[@suehofkamp8594]

Do you have to rent out to vacationers in a condotel, or can you just live in it permanently?

[@365HawaiiRealEstateInfo]

You can live in it permanently! Thats what some people do at Kona By The Sea!

[@oshiplays2271]

Your perspective is refreshing, want to be youtube friends?

[@marcielynn4886]

Too many monthly additional fees.
