There are real estate bargains to be had almost everywhere, and that applies to Hawaii as well as the Mainland. Hawaii seems to be a major target for people from the US and other countries to purchase homes. It’s easy to miss how large the Big Island is, with many different climate zones and a total land area that is bigger than all of the other islands in the state combined. Here’s a link to a discussion that contrasts differences in climate, water temperature and even economic factors between Hawaii and California.

You will find the quaint town of Hilo on the east side of the Big Island. The nearly daily rains give this part of the island a very tropical feel. The county of Hawaii has its primary government offices in Hilo. Consult a real estate agent in Hilo for help in locating Big Island real estate opportunities in that district.

One of the other districts on Hawaii Island is Kona, on the dry side of the slopes. The incoming rain clouds lose much of their energy and water as they pass over the inactive volcanoes that separate Kona from Hilo. Consequently the Kona side is much drier. Most people seem to be inclined to the dry side, since there is more sunshine on average in Kona than in Hilo.

The Kona district offers a great deal of Hawaii land with terrific ocean views and coffee orchards above 1,000 feet elevation. Prices are way down from their maximum levels in 2006 and you can find some amazing discounts on beautiful estate homes. There is an atmosphere about the Big Island that is different than the other islands. This might be a good time to look at Kona real estate if you are in the market for a second home.
