I periodically check Puna real estate listings hoping someday to find that “perfect” house or plot of land. The other day I ran into this:

You too can own a piece of land that may or may not soon be overrun by lava. And for only $10,000!
I think I’ll pass on this one.

There are a bunch of lots like that for sale.
I would pay $1 an acre just for the novelty, but then would have to cough up the property taxes annually on a piece of worthless land.
Talk about your scam of the decade.
Wow! 10K! I'll sell mine for $9999.00. Showing an old picture of Kaimu Beach is kind of bizarre. Seems like an ethics violation to me.

It just proves that being a member of the NAR/HAR/HIBR/KBR does not guarantee ethics.[

Who says this isn't a "hot" real estate market!
Gotta admit that using the decades old brochure & beach pictures is more than a little misleading....
KC - I guess the "level lot" = the new coat of lava! I bet there are those that will see that ad & start dreaming of their "lot by the sea' (unfortunately, the river of lava is probably not in their dreams...)
Edit for typos, gauwd you would think by now I could type!

It makes me laugh. I once went to a moving sale of a guy who had bought a several acre lot sight unseen in Hawai'i. Back then you could not do a lot of investigating over the internet, he was packing up and moving. Just from an ad in our local paper in Humboldt Co Cal. I always wondered what he found. Maybe he's a Puna Webber now?
Life goes on, with you or without you.
Peace and long life
John,

If you could get one of these lots really really cheap it may not be such a bad deal. After the flow migrates to HPP or Kapoho, these lots would be suitable for a plant nursery or hydroponic farm. No weeds- Plenty sunshine.

An old salesman saying is- There is an ass for every seat.
Someone will buy it if it is for sale
Gives a new meaning to hot seat
