See Inside Kona's Most Affordable Home!

Hey everyone. It is super rare that I am bringing you a video of a house tour in the middle of the week, but the reason I'm doing it is because this is a screaming deal. So if any of you out there are really serious about buying a piece of Kona, you want to get a great home at a great price, this might be the best thing on the market. In fact, I'm certain of it. Currently listed at 899,000. I've run the comps that is below any of the sales that we've seen in the last year. We are in Lokahi, Makai. This is a home on a large lot. We got over 10,000 square feet here. You're going to see this big backyard. I'm going to show you the outside, the inside, tell you my three favorite things about it. It's got solar PV. It's got solar hot water heater. It's got a mini split AC system, three bedrooms, two baths, right near the airport, heart of town. Quick drive up north to all the beaches, quick drive into town, everything that you need. This is a really good deal. That's why I'm bringing it to you right away as soon as it comes on the market. I hope you like it. Let's get checking it out. Okay, everybody, I told you this had a big backyard and I think you can see it really does. If you want to put a pool in here, I mean, you could put two in. It's massive. You get a pool, a gazebo, a trampoline, an outdoor kitchen. You can put it all in here. We got some lava rock work on this side and a smaller lava rock wall on the other side. Got a little storage shed in the back. Nice big tree. It looks like a jacaranda tree on a neighbor's property there. And this little raised up pavilion or raised up area here, really cool. A nice setup up here, but you just have a really, really big backyard. So if you have a dog, maybe extend the fence up a little bit. If you got kids and you want a big backyard, you got two, they got a couple of planters over here. You can put some herbs and get your garden going in there. Home is in good condition. We're here in Lokaimakai. This one was built in, I believe, 2005. Lokaimakai is a neighborhood just above the airport. So you're in the lower section of the Kona Palisades area, if you're familiar with that. This is a listing by Gary Gresham and Chris Dymack over at Aloha Sotheby's. A big thank you to them for letting us bring it to you. And like I said, guys, I know this market and this is a really good deal. I don't even know if it'll go for this price, frankly. It might go for more. I can't find anything that has gone at this price in this condition for a while. We got the plantation style look, board and batten, asphalt shingle roof, slight double pitch roof that we have in there. You can see one of our AC compressors right here. If you guys haven't been on the channel before, you know I like to come right by here. This thing is on, this is going. It's producing AC right now. You can see the fan is spinning. I'm just right here next to it talking and it's not really loud. These little split systems are excellent, excellent at not being super loud. It's one of the reasons people love them so much. We got a covered lanai area over here with a ceiling fan and a light. About, let's say eight by 10, eight by 12, something like that on our size. And then a fence right around here. Let's go out the gate. There's a car in the driveway. There's actually two cars in the driveway right now. And if I can operate the gate, there I go. I'm a professional, you need a license for this, guys. And then you see there, we got our little sign that tells you it is a solar PV system when it says customer generating facility. Little porch here at our front entry. I love the blue with the white trim. It looks great. Seen that in a few of our homes lately. The one I launched on Sunday, which is doing really well, by the way. Thank you everybody for watching that. Had blue with white trim also. I'm gonna come out here so you can see the neighborhood here in Lokaimakai. You know, they have an HOA here. It's not overly intrusive, I gotta say. And everyone still keeps their homes up in really great shape. It's a really popular neighborhood. So on the roof here, you can see on the left side there, that's our solar hot water panels. And then on the other side, you see our solar PV panels. Those provide the electricity. Got a sidewalk here, two-car garage, driveway that can hold another four cars if you needed to. Good work on all this. I like it. Really good job. And then let's go and check out the inside of the home. Oh, by the way, I don't think I told you. I'm Mike Drewtar, principal broker at Next Home Paradise Realty. And let's check out what you get, list price $899 in Hawaii. You walk in, right away, you have a very large room. Vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, pendant light. A lot of space vertically helps this room look nice and big, but it is a good size room. You can see there's plenty of space over here for your main living area. We got our sliding glass door. And then around to what is your dining area here. I would estimate this sort of section here to be maybe 20 by 22. We can get exact measurements for you. By the way, I'll have the address down in the description. I'll also have a link to this house that takes you to my website. It'll ask you to register. If that link is still alive and valid, it's because the home is still available. If the home's not available, that link just goes to a blank page. And you just reach out to me directly. I'll have my phone number and email in there for you. We got Corian countertops, single basin, large sink. Our stainless steel on our dishwasher. Oven over here and cooktop. Stainless steel on our refrigerator, side-by-side refrigerator, crisper drawer and freezer drawer down below. 18 inch tile down below. And then these are the original cabinets. And so, I mean, they're not going to be your top of the line, well, they're not soft close, but they are dovetail joints there. I'm kind of surprised at that. So this is a great, great home. Three bedroom, two bath, kind of our starter home here in the market. At 899, it's pretty good because our median price right now, believe it or not, is over 1.3 million. Two car garage. We have our washer and dryer out here, an extra refrigerator, our solar hot water heater. I know you guys like me to show the garages, or at least some of you guys do like me to show the garages from time to time. So there you go. And we have our split AC system up there. Bring our camera back down. And then around our hallway, here we are, center up. We have, first, one of our bedrooms over here on the left side. Little blue paint on this. Decent size closet. You can fit a queen size bed in here. It looks like they got about a full right there pressed to the side. This is a good kid's room. You can put a couple of twins in here if you needed to. Across the way, the common bathroom. We have three bedrooms, two baths in this home. Culture and marble countertop. These homes, when they were originally built, trying to remember the prices. It's been a while. I was in business here. I was in the business here back in 2005. I remember when they had the model up back then. And I want to say these were around $399 or $499, something like that. It's a long time ago, so forgive me if my numbers are off. This room feels a slight touch larger than the last room, but you could easily fit a queen size bed in here. That might be a queen on that one with our closet. I want to point out that we do have, I think this is an LVP, but it could be some other type of product down here on our flooring. Easy maintenance throughout the home. Really good job on that. And then here into our primary bedroom. Really big, so holy cow. This is a big bedroom, I gotta say, for this price point. We got a king size bed in there and you've got a good five feet over here on this side and five feet or so on the other side. We got our split AC system up in there. Got our faux wood blinds. Notice those throughout the home, so really nice to have that. Lets in plenty of light. And then check out the closet, guys. Really, really big right here. So I'm estimating we're looking at about six foot left to right and about 12 feet. I would say end to end, so really good size. Got a big safe there for you. By the way, I'm gonna spin the camera around real quick because I have something I gotta ask you guys. It would really, really help me out if you would click like and subscribe right now. I know most of you probably are subscribed. Well, I know most of you aren't subscribers because I can see the data, but I know you guys come back a lot. Hit the subscribe button. Nothing can help me more, aside from buying this house and let's put in an offer, than you hitting the subscribe button. YouTube really likes it and I appreciate it. Let's get back to the house. Thank you guys for humoring me for a moment with that ask. This bedroom does have its own bathroom, dual vanities. We got, again, our cultured marble sinks built in. From the home in 2005, this was kind of what they were doing back then. You don't see it as much anymore. Real easy, actually, to just pull this out and put down some quartz if you want. You can go to just about any stone yard that we have here on the island. Surprisingly, we do have a handful and they will have the standard width here. And like that white quartz with the gray lines through it, they'll have it already out. They just cut it to length, cut the hole in it for the sink, put in your sink, and you're out of there pretty quick. It's actually not as expensive as people think. And our toilet over here and our shower tub combo right there, privacy door, of course. And yeah, that's it for our three bedroom, two bath home. Well under a million. So priced at 899. I know I've mentioned that like four or five times now, guys. That really, really is a great deal. It won't go for over a million. It could go for more than 899. We could actually see a few bidders on this. They've got it priced to move. Garrett and Chris did a great job on that. We're gonna finish off here at the backyard with my three favorite things. One thing I would change or add, if this was mine. Favorite thing, number one, is obviously this price point. Absolutely priced to sell. They're not messing around. This isn't one of those where you can come in and say, well, Mike, let me offer 850 and see what happens. You call me up and say you wanna offer 850. We're gonna have a conversation or we're just gonna go in another direction because there's absolutely no point. This is a deal at this price. If you get it at this price, you're lucky. So yeah, come in strong on this one. So number one is the price. Favorite thing, number two, you got solar PV. Keep your energy costs down and you have a solar hot water system along with your air conditioning, which you do need at this elevation, I think. So check, check, check on that. And favorite thing, number three, you got a big backyard. Man, I can't tell you how many times I look at homes and it's just kind of the nature of things here. We have a lot of slope. It's really hard to get a home at a fairly decent price that has much yard space at all. So if you have a family, this is great. You can have the evening out here with the kids. If you get to a point where you wanna add a pool, you can do it. You got the space here. So it gives you some flexibility. You just wanna have a backyard barbecue with 25, 30, 40, 50 people, you can actually do it here because you've got the space. So really, really cool. I think this is a screaming deal. If anyone is serious about getting into this market, pick up the phone and call me. Don't even email me. And then text me and say, Mike, I saw the house. I think I might wanna make an offer. Let's get working on it because this is not going to stick around. I hope you liked this video. I got more for you in the corner and I'll see you again real soon.
