The Kalapana yurts sold as well, I'm not sure if that was with financing or not.

StillHope -- in answer to your question, I just don't feel that its wise for me to make statements that I do not know to be fact. Could there be financing available in other states? Maybe, I don't know. Is it available here? Not that I've been able to find. Those are factual statements that I can document. Maybe someone else has found a way that I don't know of -- I can hope, right?

YurtGirl, fi you mean the multi-unit ones at the very top of Kalapana Sea View -- uh, no they didn't sell. And the reason they didn't sell was the lack of available financing for the buyers. As for the one just slightly down the street from those, it did sell late last year for $90,000 and it was all-cash. It took over 23 months to sell (they put it on the market almost the day it was complete). When the seller's cost of the lot, the land prep, selling costs and the infrastructure (electricity, cesspool, landscaping, etc) in addition to the cost of yurt itself are all factored in, they maybe broke even. They definitely were not compensated for their work on the place.

I ask again -- have you ever seen a yurt on the Big Island sell where financing was involved?

I imagine that, again, I'm going to get a long answer that never says "yes" or "no".

Sheesh, you'd think I'm asking questions of someone whose sole interest is in selling yurts.

Oh wait, I am.
