What would you do with an extra $260,000? Move to a larger home, or a new neighborhood? Add an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) to your existing home, or renovate your kitchen and baths? If you think you don't have that kind of cash on hand, you might be pleasantly surprised: Many Oahu homeowners have a significant amount of home equity—it's almost like your home is a piggy bank that grows bigger each year.

As the saying goes, all real estate is local. Looking at housing data for Oahu overall can provide a good bird's-eye view of the market, but it's not always a good barometer of what's happening on your block. That's why in addition to crunching the monthly numbers for the Oahu market, Locations' Research Department also analyzes single-family home and condo local market areas—even drilling down to the island's 365 neighborhoods.

Locations is proud to bring you three incredible beachfront listings for sale in April 2024 that offer the perfect blend of luxury and tranquility—for less than $2 million dollars. Whether you're seeking a serene retreat or an investment opportunity, these properties promise an unparalleled coastal living experience.

On a breezy Saturday morning in March 2024, amidst the gentle pitter-patter of raindrops, the spirit of community and compassion shone brightly at Manoa Elementary School. Fourteen Locations Foundation members, including Locations Property Management and Hawai’i Mortgage Group employees, gathered for a heartfelt endeavor—marking the culmination of the school’s week-long American Heart Association activities with cheerful chalk drawings and encouraging words.
