Why are Real Estate Prices in Puna Relatively Low?

[oink]

I didn't look up the property but if it was a short sale, the seller and listing agent may have agreed on the original listing price, thus the original listing, but then the lender(s) didn't accept it and countered at the higher price which the buyer agreed to. Fairly common occurrence.
