Kihei oceanfront home on Halama Street sells for over $3 Million

Here’s a quick update with the latest news in the market for oceanfront property in Kihei, South Maui.

The South Maui real estate market has been busy and there has been a lot of activity for Kihei Bank owned homes. We just sold an REO property on Halama Street that is actually an oceanfront home in Kihei and the highest sale on record for a bank owned home on Maui!

How to Succeed at Buying a bank owned oceanfront property

When 1576 Halama Street came on the market on August 23, 2011 we could see this particular REO home for sale would sell fast. There’s bound to be a lot of interest in any well-priced bank owned home, even more so when it’s a 3 bedroom house with an in-ground pool that’s directly fronting the ocean in Kihei.

We acted fast and immediately contacted a client who loves Halama street properties and set to work on preparing a competitive offer that would position our buyer to be the successful new owner.

After only 16 days on the market (the bank only considers offers after the 13th day) we put this bank owned property under contract. We completed the sale in another 19 days and the house sold on September 27, 2011 for $3,020,000.

This sale shows that you can have great success when you have an agent that closely monitors the Maui market and takes quick action to prepare a strong offer that the banks will want to accept.
