That said, LZ3 is still a risk and I'm counting my blessings that Mauna Loa didn't have a massive eruption (yet).
It's unclear to me exactly how the lava hazard maps are indicating the threat to your area, but it appears that Highway 11 is approximately the division between historic Mauna Loa and Kilauea flows. This would suggest you are more threatened by the latter volcano.
Short term it doesn't seem to me that Puna prices will change much as a result of the new eruption except for hazard zone one prices going and properties downslope from Leilani going down.
