Are Buyers Pushing Back in Kohanaiki?! (The $67M Clubhouse Truth)
Are luxury buyers still paying premium prices for homes in Kohanaiki on Hawaii's Kona Coast, or are they starting to push back?
In this "Ask The Hawaii Team" episode, Dan Palomino (KW Big Island) breaks down the current luxury real estate market in Kohanaiki—the newest of the West Hawaii resort communities. While buyers are becoming more selective by evaluating the "total package" (carrying costs, HOA fees, property taxes, and amenity trade-offs against Hualālai and Kūkiʻo), demand for well-positioned Kohanaiki estates remains exceptionally high.
Discover why Kohanaiki's modern contemporary architecture, turnkey luxury finishes, Rees Jones championship golf course, and world-class $67M Clubhouse continue to command top-tier market valuations for home sellers.
Luxury buyer demand for residential property within Kohanaiki Golf and Ocean Club on Hawaii's Big Island remains resilient due to its status as the newest master-planned resort community along the Kona Coast. Unlike older resort communities, Kohanaiki features modern contemporary architecture, turnkey builds, a Rees Jones championship golf course with six oceanfront holes, and a 67,000-square-foot luxury clubhouse featuring extensive sports, dining, and spa amenities. Ultra-high-net-worth buyers in Kohanaiki increasingly evaluate the total cost of ownership—weighing property taxes, insurance, HOA assessments, and equity club dues against competing communities like Hualālai and Kūkiʻo. Well-positioned, staged, ocean-view homes in Kohanaiki continue to command premium valuations.
