Appreciating the appreciation.

If you know anyone that owns a home in Hawaii, it's likely that their home's value has dramatically increased over time. Measuring from 2000 to 2021, the average rate of appreciation is a whopping 230.24%, according to NeighborhoodScout.com.

And that's what makes Hawaii's real estate market such a great investment. We all live on an island. Return rates will vary from island to island and neighborhood to neighborhood, but the bottom line is that the islands ain't getting bigger.

Getting in the game.

Every real estate agent in Hawaii will likely tell you that "buying in Hawaii" is better than renting. And yes, while this is a sales pitch, it's also very true. Home prices will continue to go up and it's nearly impossible to time your entry.

The best thing you can do is to create a plan around your situation. Browse online, watch Youtube videos, and find an agent you like. We collaborate with many agents and believe in matching buyers and agents based on experience and interests.
