You want to live here? Great. Many people do. This includes ourselves. However, here are a few realities. Islands have limited land for housing.
Supply and Demand laws favor the seller. This means the buyer pays more. |
| If you want to talk to a Professional then call one of the Realtors on our Professional Realtor page. They will be happy to answer any of your questions. |
Also, Honolulu is an expensive place to live. As Oahu is an Island, virtually everything
we eat or drink;
sleep on or sit on or ride on;
live in or use,
comes by boat or plane
from another place
. . . a distant place. If the thing itself did not, then certainly its parts did. For this reason, people who live on islands PAY MORE
than people who live on the mainland.
