The New Year is off to a strong start, and I am excited to share two recently closed sales that highlight the diversity and continued strength of the Big Island real estate market. From luxury resort living to a rare opportunity in a beloved beach community, these two properties each tell a unique story.

Recently, Hawaii Life released two market reports revealing subtle but significant shifts in the state’s luxury real estate landscape — including the Big Island. At first glance, it might seem that Hawaii’s high-end market is cooling. But look closer, and a more nuanced story emerges: this isn’t a downturn, it’s a recalibration.
