home for sale hawaii

Buying a home in hawaii for military members..?
Do you recommend it? We are pre-approved and have been looking for a home. We haven’t moved there yet.. moving in Sept. Do you have any recommendations.. Yes I’ve done lots of homework and know how expensive it is.. Any stories? Would like military experiences, please. Also, there are alot of short sales and great “deals” now. Is now the time to buy??
Actually we do plan on retiring.. got 20 yrs in… now we’re PCSing to Hawaii… so why not??
The prices have gone down, we have vacation rentals in Maui, and they may go down more, but I don’t think much more. There are 19 units for sale in Maui Vista, where our condos are! There is such a limited amount of land, that there will always be a need. I think that it would probably be a good time to buy something, interest rates are down and there are alot of foreclosures. Tourism and the economy are down. You probably could get a pretty good deal. Many people, like us, are feeling the slow down in rentals, with the cost of flying doubling, and will think about to selling. We have all of September open right now- very unusual for our rentals!
