Ho’olei Villas Sold by the Sayles Team in 2018
With 7 Ho’olei condos sold in 2018, the Sayles Team was happy to participate in more than 70% of the sales in 2018. In particular, we were strong the list side where we represented 5 of the 7 sellers in the listing of their unit. .
Our consistent presence in the community makes it easy for the team to develop personal connections with the residents and enables us to work closely with Ho’olei staff responsible for running the short term rental aspects. It is our 10+ years of experience the community that make us the go to Ho’olei experts.
Our Ho’olei Real Estate Information office within the Ho’olei complex allows the team a unique location in which we can take advantage of being on site 7 days a week. We always have representatives standing by to assist any walk ins or scheduled meetings.
180 Degree Wailea Views: Ho’olei Villa 69-1
Listing top row units can be tricky because some buyers will value the ocean views more than the next buyer. Ultimately, we decided to bring the unit to market at $3.25 million. Our sellers stood firm on their price and were eventually able to close for $3,175,000.
Unique Upgrades & Ocean Views: Ho’olei 31-5
After about 2.5 months on the market, our sellers received an offer they were willing to accept. After a 6 week escrow, we are proud to say we ended up closing for $3.15 million.
Primed For Wailea’s Best Ocean Views: Ho’olei Villa 39-4
Ho’olei Vill 39-4 was listed in the summer of 2017 and is the coveted plumeria floor plan which allows it to site the most forward in each building cluster. Sitting in the middle of the complex, the unit is in an ideal location to the community club house, pool, and work out room. We were able to secure our sellers a final sale price of $3,212,500.
Lowest Priced Ho’olei Villa Sold
Priced under $2 million, we were eager to help our sellers get the best deal possible. With the ability to be rented out as a short term rental unit, it’s an invaluable feature that so many buyers appreciate. The potential rental income and reduced list price made this unit a very desirable investment opportunity or a chance to get into the Wailea resort for a cut price. In the end, our sellers agreed to a final sale price of $1,750,000.
Ho’olei 93-2 was an interesting deal because the villa was never actively for sale on the open market or listed in the MLS for the public to see. Many of our clients are extremely private people and value their privacy; some clients choose to not publicly list their properties for a variety of reasons. Sold for a final price of $2,070,000.
The Private Collection by the Sayles Team
Part of the reason why we have been so successful in facilitating off market deals is because of our initiative to create and actively manage our Private Collection by the Sayles Team. It has been established for close to 3 years and we have seen very strong results in terms of helping connect sellers and buyers.

The whole intent behind the Private Collection it not just to find a purchaser, but rather to create a strategic marketing plan catered to our seller client’s individual needs and specific timeframes. We shoot for quality and well qualified buyers, so our buyer pool a much smaller and a sophisticated audience of potential purchasers.
Our implementation of the Private Collection by the Sayles Team has helped facilitate a few deals that otherwise would may have never been put together.

2018 got off to a slow start with no units sold through the 1st quarter of the year, then saw 3 quick closings in the month of April. Only 1 unit was sold in the summer, however, sales have picked up again in September with 2 closings and 1 in October to round out the year.
In 2018, it was the upper part of the market that has been most dominate with 4 sales crossing the $3.1 million mark. The next most heavily represented price point was the $1 million range with 2 units sold. The least represented price range was $2 million which is interesting because it is usually the most heavily represented price range.
