When looking for a home to buy in Honolulu, be sure to consider all your options. While having an oceanfront home is at the top of many home buyers’ wish lists, it is not always a viable option. Today’s real estate buyers have to be more realistic and sometimes that means compromising on either location or style and size of the home.

Honolulu oceanfront condos are a great way to be able to live right on the beach or across the street from the beach in Honolulu.  Compromising on having a single family home may allow you the luxury of stepping outside on your lanai or balcony to enjoy that enchanting ocean view. You will have fantastic sunrise and sunset views too.

There is currently a lot of inventory on the market, and various Honolulu oceanfront condo styles and sizes are available. Depending upon the needs of your family you can choose from studio condos up to a three or four bedroom unit. Many Honolulu oceanfront condo complexes have wonderful amenities such as swimming pools, jacuzzis, tennis courts, exercise rooms, and barbecue/recreation areas.

The price you spend on your Honolulu oceanfront condo will reflect the location of the condo you choose. Higher floor units typically cost more because the views are superior. If your condo community has tennis, golf or a pool, it will cost more than a condo community that does not offer them. Likewise if it is a gated community, that cost will also be reflected in the unit cost. It could mean a higher overall price or just higher homeowner association dues each month.  Please be sure to contact me with whatever questions you may have about living in Honolulu.  I am an experienced real estate professional and specialize in oceanfront properties.
