Kailua Bluffs is located on the south end of Kailua, closest to neighboring Waimanalo. It’s a small community comprised of young families and empty nesters. The area was originally developed as tract housing (Lone Star Hawaii Properties, Inc.) in the mid-1980s and later converted to custom, single-family homes in the early 1990s. In addition to the homes, there’s also a small cluster of townhomes located on Kahako Street. 

My associate, Lauren Sanchez and her family are from Kailua Bluffs. Here is a photo of her father Carlos Sanchez in 1986, standing next to their home which was under construction. The photo below is the same home today.

Is your home market ready? Will it make a great first impression to potential buyers? I’ve helped many people prepare their homes – here’s a few items to consider before putting your home on the market.

Timeline – If there’s not too much that needs to be done, an average timeline based on my experience is about one month. However, if there are larger items such as roof repair, termite damage or items that require a professional, it may take longer.

If you’re looking for peaceful evening walks around the neighborhood and the occasional rain to keep your garden green and lush, then Maunawili is your cup of tea.

Located on the Windward side of Oahu, nestled between the Olomana and Koolau mountains, and steeped with Hawaiian legend and history, this closely-knit community has a reputation for its quiet demeanor and cooler climate.
