1st Floor Grand Champions Unit Sold by the Sayles Team

Nicely Upgraded Grand Champions Unit 125

We are happy to announce, we were able to get our buyer clients into a fabulously updated 1 bedroom, 2 bath, and 908 sqft Grand Champions condo. The unit underwent a full remodel in 2010 to combine light tones with subtle tropical vibes to create the perfect Wailea getaway. Located on the ground floor with convenient access to come and go as you please with no need to go up and down stairs. Upgrades to the unit include: new laminate floors throughout, bamboo cabinets, travertine tile in the bathrooms, new fixtures, granite counters, new appliances & all new furnishings.

The unit experienced a turbulent time on the market with a few unsuccessful listings because of its price point. The unit was brought to market for a second time in October of last year for a significant drop in price. It took two months of sitting on the market before our clients were seriously interested in the property. After some negotiations, we settled for a final close price of $560,000.

Wailea Grand Champions Villas feature two swimming pools and two Whirlpool spas that are surrounded by palm trees, beautiful foliage, and attractive, well-kept gardens. Condominium owners are welcome to join the Wailea Golf Club or the Wailea Tennis Club that is right next door.

Supremely Upgraded: Grand Champions Villa 29

Having undergone a recent renovation, Grand Champions villa 29 comes to market as a coveted 1st floor corner unit offering enchanting views of the Old Wailea Blue Golf Course. The unit comes complete with covered outdoor lanai that can be used as another focal point of the because of its cool breezes and spacious layout. The lanai is on the perimeter of the community; so there are no neighbors bothering you, just nothing but privacy and peace of mind.

The best perk of the unit has to be its diverse floor plan because of the lock off flexibility it offers. Technically a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 1148 sqft unit by design, but there is a lock off feature that can turn the unit into 2 separate and distinct units with their own private entries. Under the 2 unit configuration, 1 unit can be used as a studio and the other works as 1 bedroom and 1 bath unit. Under these circumstances, owners can have two rental properties for the price of 1. This option becomes particularly useful if you wish to generate cashflow to help cover the monthly costs associated with the unit.

The unit is being offered at $888,000

 

Recent renovations include a completely remodeled kitchen, high energy-efficient stainless steel appliances, new furnishings, and granite countertops. Bathrooms are appointed with custom showers and stylish vessel sinks.

Additional upgrades include plantation shutters, crown molding, new fans, split A/C system, bamboo and tile flooring throughout. Listing agent is owner.

Grand Champions Market Update 2018

So far in 2018, the Grand Champions market has seen a fair amount of production in the first two months of the year; 2018 sale is already outperforming 2017 by 50% more transactions. All 3 units spent less than 3 months on the market and are valued at around $500-$600/sqft. The units here are in high demand because of their low price points and ability to be rented out as short term rentals.

The $500k price point has seen 2 units sold while the $600k price point has only seen 1 unit sold. Two units are currently sitting in escrow; if those two deals close, the Grand Champions market will be well on its way to surpassing 2017 sales.

  • Grand Champions units sold: 3
  • Average sold price: $599,666
  • Highest priced unit sold: $650,000
  • Lowest priced unit sold: $560,000
  • Number of units in escrow: 2

Grand Champions Market Update 2017

Typically the Grand Champions market sees at least double digit production, but the $5,845,000 sales volume done can be attributed to the low inventory in the Grand Champions complex. The sweet spot in the community was the $500k and $600k range where they represented more than 80% of the transactions sold.

While transaction volume was down, the time the units spent on the market was very impressive; all 9 of the units sold were able to find a buyer within 150 days of being listed. In fact, 3 listings were sold within 55 days of coming to market and is very impressive for the price point. Sales favored two bedrooms units with 5 while one bedroom units rounded out sales with 4.

  • Grand Champions units sold: 9
  • Average sold price: $649,444
  • Highest priced unit sold: $750,000
  • Lowest priced unit sold: $555,000

Grand Champions Condos For Sale

From looking at the 2017 data, the lack of Grand Champions inventory is creating a stronger demand in the market and forcing buyers to act quicker on properties. With only 2 units in the $500k range, those units represent the lower end of the marker. On the upper end of the market, there is one unit in the 700’s, one unit in the $800’s, and one in the 900’s. The $800k and $900k are certainly the top of the market and represent the very best that the Grand Champions has to offer. 3 units have been listed for longer than 3 months and ripe for an offer.
