Looking to Buy an Oahu Home?

Any major purchase requires research, careful analysis and consideration and thought, and Oahu home buying isn’t any different. Determining the right location and views, number of bedrooms and bathrooms needed, and outdoor space may come more quickly to mind, but there are many other factors to think about as well in your home search. At LuxuryOahuhome.com, we consider it our privilege to share with you the ins and outs of buying island real estate.

From your initial search to the moment you get the keys to your new home, we will be there, guiding you through the process. We'll even help you find the best mortgage rates, as not every broker will offer the same programs and rates.  As a potential home buyer, you may have a list of “everything” you want or need for your new home. We will work with you to help you realize that list and find you the best island home to suit you. If you are competing for a home and need to write a backup offer or have contingencies, we can help you with that as well.

Finding the right home can be challenging, but with us on your side, you will find the process is quite simple. We love helping first time homebuyers and seasoned sellers sift through inventory to locate the right home. If you'd like to tour local island homes, we'd love to go with you and show you the many options available in Oahu real estate. Give us a call to see how we can help you find the home of your dreams!

What Research Helps When Buying a Home?

A little research (which includes working with a real estate agent that knows Oahu) can go a long way in home buying. Knowing the neighborhood and local community means being aware of similar property values, market trends, crime statistics, and the local schools. If you want to do your own research on any area, in addition to asking us, here are some resources for you to consider.

• General City Info - City Data  (Also check out individual town websites.)
• Local Businesses - Yelp
• Crime Stats - Neighborhood Scout
• Predators &Sex Offenders - Federal Resource
• School Statistics - Great Schools 

In any neighborhood, consider the school district and the individual school located near your Oahu home. Watch for general trends rather than yearly scores. The money a school district or individual school spends per child, teacher turn-over rate, and parent satisfaction rate will give you the information you need, along with traditional API scores.
