Real Talk: What’s REALLY Happening in the Kailua Kona Housing Market?

🏝️ Big Island Real Estate Market Update | June 2025 🏠

Welcome to the June 2025 Big Island Real Estate Market Update! Join Julie Ziemelis from 365 Hawaii and Lance Owens of LUVA Real Estate as we sip local drinks, dive into the latest Kona housing stats, and have a real conversation about what’s happening on the ground in West Hawaii.

We cover:

📉 Why sales are down but prices are up
📈 The 60% drop in sales volume (and what it means for buyers)
🏢 What’s happening with HOA fees, insurance, and condo demand
🏘️ Local tips on hot deals, vacation rentals, and buyer strategy

We also share insights from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) legislative meetings, talk about creative financing and rate buydowns, and give you a heads-up on how to navigate today’s shifting market.
