Why are Real Estate Prices in Puna Relatively Low?

[pslamont]

I don't know about the rest of you but I think the low prices in Puna make this a great time to buy if you have the money. We are as yet undiscovered. As in all places in the USA, those with an abundance of cash (not the mega rich, just upper middle class) will find it, buy it up, exploit it a bit but build the infrastructure we lack and upscale the housing and... voila... unaffordable housing once again. Look how upscale Seaview looks these days. When we arrived 7 years ago there was almost nothing there. It would have been our first choice if Bob weren't going to keep teaching but the commute was just too much. It's all timing.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says

"Oh Crap, She's up!"
