My MLM Dream Team

There are real estate bargains to be had almost everywhere, and that applies to Hawaii as well as the Mainland. The Aloha State has become a desirable place for vacation and retirement homes over the years. Hawaii’s Big Island provides a tremendous variety of climate zones, from arid to tropical and even mountaintop because it is so large. The SoCal Guru website has some information on the differences between Hawaii and its easterly neighbor California in terms of weather, water and other factors.

You will find the quaint town of Hilo on the east side of the Big Island. There is a reason that this area feels so tropical; it rains nearly every day. Here you will also find the government complex, although there are satellite offices in other districts on the island. There are many qualified real estate agents in Hilo and they can show you the best Big Island real estate in that area.

On the west side of the island is the Kona District. As the tropical rain clouds pass over the mountains much of the moisture is squeezed out, and onto Hilo on the windward side. That is why Kona is generally much drier. The sunnier climate tends to draw people, especially vacationers, to the dry side of the island, although Hilo has a substantial permanent population of residents.

With Kona coffee orchards common at higher levels and many parcels offering amazing ocean views, you can find hundreds of Hawaii land options in this slow economy. It is possible to find large estate homesites at prices that are way below the peak in 2006. The feeling is different on the Big Island compared to Maui, Oahu or even Kauai. This might be a good time to look at Kona real estate if you are in the market for a second home.
