Yeah, but our 3rd avenue lot was $65,000 when we bought it a couple of years ago! oh well. We have not sold so we have not lost anything.

Bubble?! Bubble my butt! You can still put a house on that $65K lot, sell it and walk away with profit. That $10K investment eight years ago is worth four times as much now. Not a bad ROI.

rprr, I will take whatever information I can get, whether it is Puna, East Hawaii, or the Big Island as a whole.

I have taken a look at some of the data from the alohaliving website.

One can also get data from trulia.com and also zillow.com.

It kind of makes "me" feel like the trailerpark trash of the hawaiian islands because our condo and residental homes are selling so low compared to the rest of hawaii.

Yeah but it was worth eight times as much just a couple of years ago. What if you bought that same lot then and tried to sell it now? To those that did buy back then, the bubble is very real.

Ouch? What about the one on 9th for 25K? Or the ones that have been recently listed for 24.9K?
Look for the 20K HPP lot within a few weeks.
