Big Island Real Estate Update: Puako Beach Condo Sold & Holualoa Home in Escrow

The Big Island real estate market is very much alive, and the excitement of buyers finding their dream homes continues. Whether you’re looking for a beachside escape, a serene hilltop retreat, or a smart investment property, opportunities are happening now. Today, I would like to share two recent success stories that showcase the diversity and appeal of island living.

Puako Beach Condo 102 – Sold!

Congratulations to the sellers of this stunning first-floor, 3-bedroom, 2-bath condo at Puako Beach Condos! This property wasn’t just a home — it was a lifestyle and an investment wrapped into one. Fully furnished in a fresh, contemporary style and featuring three king-size beds, it was move-in ready and an active vacation rental, generating immediate income for its new owners.

Puako is a neighborhood like no other on the Kohala Coast. It’s a walkable, friendly beachside community where crystal-clear waters, tide pools, and spectacular sunsets are part of everyday life. Imagine starting your morning snorkeling in calm waters, exploring tide pools in the afternoon, and ending your day watching the sun sink into the Pacific. That’s the Puako lifestyle, and this condo offered a turnkey opportunity to enjoy it fully.

The sale of Puako Beach Condo 102 is a reminder that well-located, well-maintained properties with rental potential continue to attract eager buyers. Whether you’re seeking a retirement retreat, a vacation getaway, or an investment property that works for you while you’re away, Puako is one of the most sought-after communities on the Big Island.

Holualoa Retreat – In Escrow!

Meanwhile, another property captured the hearts of buyers in Holualoa. This serene custom home is perched at a refreshing higher elevation, offering cool breezes, privacy, and sweeping ocean views. With two spacious bedrooms in the main house and flexible space in a detached garage, it’s perfect for everyday living, visiting guests, or even creating a home office or studio.

One of the exciting features of this property is its potential for added value. Plans for an ADU conversion are already in place, providing the new owners with the opportunity to enhance their lifestyle and generate additional income.

The lush grounds are a tropical paradise. Avocados, citrus, cacao, and bananas thrive in Holualoa’s fertile soil, making this home a true private retreat. And with its location just a half-mile from charming Holualoa Village and a short 5-minute drive to Kailua-Kona, residents enjoy both tranquility and convenience. Motivated sellers are even offering a generous $25,000 buyer concession at closing, making this property an incredible opportunity for the right buyer.

What This Means for the Big Island Real Estate Market

The message is clear: the Big Island market is alive, and buyers are actively seeking properties that offer lifestyle, location, and investment potential. From Puako’s charming beachside condos to Holualoa’s elevated ocean-view retreats, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re dreaming of full-time island living, a vacation getaway, or a rental property that pays for itself, the time to explore the market is now.
