At this morning's meeting, we had Reiko Lewis from Ventus Design give her presentation to us about her specialty, Certified Aging-in-Place (CAPS) Design. Her examples and statistics of the need and requirements of an aging-in-place design were excellent. This morning's presentation was just a brief introduction to her interior design services, but from what I've seen, it would be worthwhile to contact her if you are thinking of any renovations or building from scratch to get the advantages of her CAPS designs that do not disrupt the "normal" life style.

A couple of weeks ago, East Oahu Realty, Inc. got a nice listing on Puu Panini Avenue and I blogged about it here: 4156 Puu Panini Ave. This corner lot that has approximately 41,747 square feet of land has amazing development potential. I am just bringing up this listing because it got more exposure in yesterday's Honolulu Magazine Real Estate Blog.

ML 1210384

I took a look at a new Wilhelmina Rise area listing yesterday afternoon. It is a home that has damage from a fire that occurred earlier this year. ML 1210384 is on Paula Drive and is listed by Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties. This could be a good project for a building contractor or architect. The home has some major damage, especially in the attic and roof. If you are able to build a new home or repair and renovate the existing structure, take a look at the Diamond Head view that you could design your home around. Views of The Kahala Hotel and the ocean are also visible from the other side of the current house. Showings are limited so contact your Realtor to schedule one.

The Honolulu Board of Realtors just released the August 2012 Local Market Update Report a few days ago. I posted it yesterday [Link]. This data could help determine the current market value of this home. Below is a snapshot of the Diamond Head Region's statistics. I have highlighted the ridges that are somewhat similar to Wilhelmina, where this Paula Drive home falls under. Of course, this data is representative mostly of just the few units that have sold in the past year. This also shows how limited the inventory has been in these areas.

ML 1209575

4156 Puu Panini Avenue

Listed by East Oahu Realty, Inc.

While out looking at the broker's open houses this morning, I also drove by a recent listing of a very large lot that could be ideal for many developers. It is a corner lot located at Puu Panini Avenue and 22nd Avenue that has over 41,000 square feet of land currently zoned R-5. According to a feasibility study that the seller had prepared, the area could have a lot of different uses. Are you a developer or do you know one? What do you think would be the best way to use this lot if you purchased it?

Manoa lot blog 8/21/12

Yesterday, I posted about a friend's vacant lot in Manoa that may be available for purchase. I drove by this morning to take a closer look at it. If you drive up and down Manoa Road, you have probably noticed an area in the middle of the valley that had some large trees trimmed recently. That looks like the area that the lot is near. I have not seen the survey of the lot so I don't know what part of that hill is part of the lot. It does look like the elevation of the lot could give it a nice view out of Manoa Valley, possibly a nice Honolulu City skyline view or maybe even some ocean? To the left is a photo that I took of the driveway leading up the the area where the existing structure is.

Do you know someone that may want to build a new home in Manoa? This could be a nice spot for it.

Honolulu Magazine Blog
"Book em Danno..."

While reading the news today, I stumbled upon Honolulu Magazine Real Estate Blog's post by Melissa Chang. It looks like an interested potential buyer of the property that the current Hawaii 5-0 film crew uses as a filming studio, Marshall Hung, may plan to re-purpose the iconic building/area into condominium units. The blog says that Hung would be planning to build condos on the South Street side of the lot while preserving the iconic building. I wonder if the condominium units in mind will be affordable residential developments like some of Hung's past projects and I wonder if any of the iconic building would become residential? Would it be cool to live in this iconic building? Even if it remains commercial or a mixed use type of building, I think it would be an interesting place to have your business also. I am looking forward to learning more about this potential development!

Approximately 13,000 sq ft of Vacant Land in Manoa may be available

A friend has asked me to keep an eye and ear out for any buyers that may have interest in purchasing vacant land in Manoa. The tax records say it has approximately 13,353 square feet and the area is zoned R-7.5 Residential. Do you know anyone interested in developing this lot?

Honolulu, Hawaii Real Estate MLS Hotsheet 6/1-6/2/12 830a; New Activity in St Louis Heights

http://nakama-mlshotsheets.blogspot.com/2012/04/honolulu-hawaii-real-estate-mls_21.html
A previous post about Saint Louis Heights.

Here is Saturday's hotsheet.

       Customer Short Page

On this morning's hotsheet, there is a new listing on Saint Louis Drive. 1538 St Louis Drive (ML #1206062) is listed by CBPP and is having a special "preview open house for neighbors" today between 11a-2p. I am an neighbor and I plan to check it out. I have happy this is being done today so I don't have to make special arrangements to see it or schedule to look at it during a busy Sunday open house day.

On a side note, I am rather disappointed that I was not able to look at 1741 Bertram Street (ML #1205949) listed by Island, Realtors. I requested to see it, but it requires the listing agent to be present and a showing was not able to be accommodated. Anyway, as I suspected, it was a good listing because they had enough offers to work with yesterday and the property is now in "Active Continue to Show" status or in escrow. This house was especially interesting to me because it is right up the street from my house (I could walk there in 2 minutes), but yet I could not even get permission to walk on the property to see it. In this case, an offer probably should have been prepared without bothering to see it because it is listed as "needs major repair". The funny thing about this is that the house we currently live in was listed as a "tear down" and purchased in 1979. I admit it is a bit tilted, but we are still happily living in the home rather comfortably, a few decades later.

Here is Saturday morning's hotsheet.

On the Single Family Home closings, you will see a Pauoa Valley "fixer-upper" home has sold. I was able to preview and show this home to a couple of different clients before it went publicly on the market, but they both passed on it. I have been waiting to see what it would sell for because I knew this would go quickly even though it needed quite a bit of work to make it a comfortable home. It closed for $460,000 and was listed for $448,000 by CBPP.

Looks like there is a nice listing on Prospect Street by Coldwell Banker Pacific Properties that could be good for a developer.  What do you think would be an excellent use of that property?
