Lofted 2nd Floor Unit: Kihei Garden Estates G204
As the newest and only listing, Kihei Garden Estates G204 provides some much needed inventory to the barren Kihei Estates market. As a 2nd floor unit, there are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in this 851 sqft condo. The lofted area can either function as a 2nd living room or as a 3rd bedroom, which can come in handy if rented out as a short term vacation rental.
The unit has received some renovations last year, but it could use some new touches in other places. Otherwise, the unit has been well taken care of over the years and is awaiting an eager buyer. The unit is desirable not only for its spacious floor plan, but because it is just 1 block from the beach and 1 block to grocery store and surrounding restaurants, which makes it the ideal vacation rental property or primary residence. Coming with a monthly maintenance fee of $687, it is a monthly cost to factor in.

This unit was also sold quickly as the buyer snapped it up within 3 weeks of coming to market. It finally sold for close to $25k under asking at $285,000 which could leave room for upgrades if desired.

The Kihei Garden Estates community is popular among buyers because it is short term rentable, 1 block from the beach, and priced considerably well for only being a 1 minute walk from the beach and the allure of South Kihei Road.

About 30% of the units sold in 2016 were able to close in the upper $200k price point, while the remaining 70% of the units sold in the mid to upper $300k price range. Surprisingly, both units that closed for under $200k were in great shape, slightly remodeled, and represented an excellent value at a blended average of $437.73/ sqft.
