A Timely Treat

October was a rather slow month as we had a few eyes on the upcoming winter months. October is sort of a slower month as market tends to stagnate from the late summer rush and as many are eager to start the 4th quarter of the year off right hence are consumed with work. Many of our clients are finalizing their winter travel plans and we are happily anticipating a hectic few months coming up. With that being said, we were able to close on three deals allowing us to keep up pace and pad our 2015 sales numbers. We closed a Ho’olei villa, a Wailea Point, and a Kamaole Sands on Hallows eve; each one was a highly profitable vacation rentable unit, the exact kind of properties we specialize in identifying to our clients.

Top Row Plumeria: Ho’olei Villa 87-3

The condo sits on the most coveted location in the community. Situated in the middle of the upper row of the neighborhood, Villa 87-3 has panoramic views of Molokini, Lanai, Kahoolawe, and Ma’alaea. We facilitated through a pocket listing as we sold the unit prior to it being listed on the MLS, we previously listed this unit before around $3.3 million back when the market was turning out deals back in early 2015. We sold the unit for somewhere closer in the $3.1 mullion range.

Best of the best! The upstairs guest bedroom also has stunning Haleakala views. When you get up to the 4th row of the Ho’olei community, one can see clear over the Grand Wailea Resort and the Four Seasons Wailea. Gorgeous sunsets are guaranteed year round. Ho’olei 87-3 is the premier plumeria floor plan in the entire neighborhood. The 3 bedrooms in this residence are like a retreat, each including an en suite bath, roomy floor plan, and plush cabana antigua carpeting. Finely appointed and being offered fully furnished.

Great Value: Wailea Poin Unit 2002

Another one that we sold before it listed was Wailea Point Unit 2002 which we closed for $2,100,000. It is absolutely stunning, modern residence. Magnificently remodeled by acclaimed builder Pat McCarthy. Unbelievably spacious. Beautiful ocean views toward West Maui, with awesome view of Haleakala as a bonus. Former lanai space of 339 sq. ft. was converted to interior space, creating a vast, sumptuous main living area. Plus, a gorgeous loft of approximately 500 sq. ft. was added, with sitting room / den and master suite with bath. The unit has been on the market since 2013 and it is nice to see it finally exchange hands, especially since we brokered the deal.

Approx. $1.4m of interior improvements. Wailea Point has gated entry, 24-hour roving security, two elaborate pool pavilion areas, a 25-meter lap pool, spas, full kitchens, tennis court, paddle & pickle ball courts, modern fitness gym, barbecue areas & more.

Spacious & Fully Furnished: Kamaole Sands 4-401

Listed late last year, the unit has since gone through some price reductions and I’m proud to say that we were able to secure a deal worth $720,000 for the unit. The three bedrooms and three baths give the unit extra value as a three bedroom vacation rental can command premium rental prices. Kam Sands are a great choice for investors as the rental fees are nice monthly income, families looking for a good deal close to the beach, or a families using the unit as an investment/wealth building vehicle and a summer vacation condo.

Rare offering…3 bedroom, 3 bath , two story, fully furnished condominium. Conveniently located just across the street from some of the best beaches in Maui. Resort features beautiful landscaping with water features throughout, a large pool, two hot tubs, a baby pool, and a workout facility. A great opportunity, as 3 bedroom/3 bath vacation rental units are rare in South Kihei.
