Oahu Real Estate
Pacific blue waters, palm trees, the smell of coconut oil and a sea breeze that gently rocks you as you lie in your woven sea grass hammock…
Sounds too good to be true, like a dream vacation? No! It sounds like life on the beautiful island of Oahu! Looking to retire, or just to live the life you’ve always wanted to on a tropical island in the Pacific? Oahu is the place you’ve been searching for!
Make your dream a reality now by purchasing a piece of paradise. The recent trends in the Oahu real estate market have made this dream a reality for many buyers as interest rates continue to come down. There is a place for everyone on the enchanting island of Oahu. If you are looking for a little Fifth Avenue style without the snow and sleet, then downtown Waikiki is the place! Luxury condos abound in this downtown area, including many with water views. New loft style apartments have also recently gone on sale in Honolulu and they are hot!
If a laid back atmosphere is more your style, the beautiful North Shore of Oahu may be what you are looking for. A world-famous surfer’s paradise, the tranquil country-like setting of the North Shore will help you slow things down, but you won’t be bored, as the North Shore offers everything from big wave beaches, to pineapple farms, to world-class golf courses. TripAdvisor recently named Kailua Beach Park as the third best beach in the United States and Waimea Bay Beach Park on Oahu as number ten. Tunnels beach on the island of Kauai was also named in the top ten, which is easily accessible by ferry or plane from Oahu. The southern shore of Oahu has also always been a big attraction for history buffs that can experience the wonders of Pearl Harbor and board the USS Arizona Memorial as well as check out the Pacific Aviation Museum.
As diverse as Oahu’s geography is its housing. Whether you are looking for a cottage, a seaside mansion, or a trendy condo, Oahu offers it all. The growing demand for Oahu real estate has driven more competition in the market place, but has also increased new construction on the island to supply this growing demand. The over all trends of the U.S. real estate market have not been as severe on Oahu, and unlike other major metropolitan areas, homes on Oahu have maintained their value making it easy for banks to continue to provide homebuyers with mortgages. Now with the national interest rate at an all-time low, homebuyers can afford to buy their piece of paradise. Purchasing a home on Oahu would not only be an excellent investment, but also a great place to retire! Now is the time to make your dream come true!
The best way to experience Oahu is to come out and see it for yourself. There are now many direct flights to Honolulu from the mainland U.S. that make travel to Oahu easy and affordable, which is especially important if you plan to maintain a residence on the mainland. At just 596 square miles, you can drive around the island in a day and experience all that Oahu has to offer, or stay at the hotels spread across the island and spend more time in each area. The best part is, once you buy on Oahu you will be able to travel the island as much as you’d like without being a tourist! Once you find the area that appeals to you most, let us be your real estate guide to making your dream a reality.
