I was running comps for a client today and needed to isolate sales by floor inside the same complex. I used to manually pull them out, but found a new filter that made it much easier. Since I already had all the data in front of me, I might as well throw this article together. When I have more time, I will run the same pull on other complexes.Even inside the same complex at Kona Coffee Villas, the median closed sale price changes a lot depending on which floor the unit is on (condition plays a factor as well):• 1st floor: $460,000• 2nd floor: $565,000• 3rd floor: $569,950If you look at how the buildings sit on the hill, it makes sense. Many second-floor units are “bridge units” where you walk straight in from the parking level with no stairs but still get elevation and a view. Third-flo... 10/24/2025

North Kona single-family housing is still tight. We’re sitting at 3.54 months of inventory - that is a seller’s market. Inventory is down 21 percent from last year and dropped again month to month. That tight supply is why prices have not “crashed,” regardless of what people keep predicting.Median sold price in September came in at $1,297,000. That 15 percent jump from last month is more about the mix of homes sold, the bigger and nicer homes closed this round - not a runaway surge. Homes are still selling around 96.5 percent of list price and the median time to sell dropped to 51 days. The good homes, when priced correctly, are still getting taken off the table.Only 29 new listings came on in September with a median list around $1.3M. Pending activity jumped — 28 new contracts opened a... 10/20/2025

Condo sales are up 172% over last September. That’s right, 172%. Don’t let headlines fool you. This is where local experience matters.   I’Everyone is talking about condo sales being up 173% from last year — 30 sold this September versus 11 in September 2024.
