The sale of 75-667 Pu Hoaloha Place in Kailua-Kona illustrates how timing, preparation, and market insight can shape the outcome of a luxury real estate transaction.
Within 5 days of being listed, the property was already under contract. The final result was a $4,350,000 sale price, closing $100,000 over the asking price.
Behind the scenes, the transaction required careful coordination. The Seller was off-island and traveling internationally, making communication, logistics, and timing critical components of the process. Marco A. Silva managed the complexities of the sale while ensuring that the property entered the market at exactly the right moment.
Property Profile
This estate property offers a rare combination of single-level living and estate-scale land within the Kailua-Kona real estate market. Built in 2006, the home spans 3,548 square feet, with all living spaces thoughtfully arranged on one level.
Covered lanais, open lawns, and a private pool extend the living experience beyond the walls of the home. Natural koa, mango, and monkeypod woodwork connect the interior to the island environment. The 2.51-acre estate setting provides privacy and breathing room that are increasingly rare in the Kona region.
The Strategy
The success of this transaction began well before the property reached the market. Marco worked closely with the Seller to ensure the home was positioned correctly within the Kona luxury real estate market. Pricing strategy, presentation, and release timing were all carefully evaluated. Rather than simply listing the property, the goal was to introduce it to the market when demand for properties of this caliber was strongest. This timing proved critical — when the property launched, interest from qualified Buyers emerged immediately.
The Outcome
The response from the market was swift. Within 5 days, the property entered escrow. Multiple interested Buyers created competitive momentum, ultimately pushing the final sale price to $4,350,000 — $100,000 above the asking price.
Navigating the Complexities
Marco handled the details on the ground, coordinating communications, documentation, and negotiations to ensure the transaction moved forward smoothly. For luxury properties in the Big Island real estate market, this type of logistical coordination is often essential, particularly when clients are located off-island.
