The North Kohala Real Estate Update is for the area at the northern tip of the Big Island; it is a region of sweeping beauty and rich character. It’s anchored by the charming towns of Hawi and Kapa’au. Hawi, known as the bicycle turnaround for the annual Ironman World Championship, 
offers a lively downtown with boutiques, eateries, and the famous Bamboo Restaurant. It’s also home to Hawaii Luxury Real Estate’s second office.
Just a few miles east, Kapa’au has its own inviting collection of shops and cafés, along with the historic King Kamehameha I Statue. South along the coast, the landscape transitions into the exclusive gated communities of Kohala Ranch, Kohala-by-the Sea, and Kohala Waterfront.
North Kohala blends pastoral open land with a wide variety of homes, from quaint plantation cottages to expansive estates with sweeping ocean vistas. The southern end, highlighted by Kohala Ranch, offers luxury residences on large lots as well as acreage parcels for custom homes. Nearly every property here boasts panoramic ocean views, the defining hallmark of this exceptional community.

Analysis: Single-family home sales declined in Q2 following a sharp increase in Q1. Vacant land sales showed the opposite trend, rising from no activity in Q1 to a modest, though still below-average, number of transactions in Q2. Inventory levels for both homes and land have experienced minor quarter-to-quarter shifts but remain within a stable range.
