Aloha! In this East Hawaiʻi real estate update, Julie Ziemelis and Kealohanui Browning (Nui) Browning discuss what buyers and sellers need to know about the current market in South Hilo, Puna, and Hawaiian Paradise Park (HPP).

In this video, we cover:

• Current inventory, pricing, and days on market
Why well-priced homes can still receive multiple offers
The different market conditions in Hilo, Puna, and HPP
• Lava zones, insurance, financing, and permitting considerations
• Buyer negotiating opportunities, seller concessions, and rate buydowns
• Newer homes and value opportunities throughout Puna and HPP

We also feature a South Hilo ocean-view property at 308 Kuikahi Street—approximately seven minutes from downtown Hilo—with RS-20 zoning and room for a primary residence plus additional homes. [
