Honolulu & Oahu

Honolulu and Oahu pair island luxury with a real city — from Kahala estates to oceanfront condos and gated Diamond Head.

Oahu anchors Hawaii’s luxury market, from the estates of Kahala and Diamond Head to Waikiki and Ala Moana high-rise condos with ocean and marina views, plus the Windward side and gated Hawaii Loa Ridge. It suits buyers who want an island lifestyle without giving up the amenities of a real city.

Honolulu & Oahu — buyer questions

Can non-residents buy property in Hawaii?

Yes — there are no residency requirements to own Hawaii real estate, though tax and financing details differ. A licensed local agent can walk you through them.

What should I know about leasehold vs. fee simple?

Some Hawaii properties are leasehold rather than fee simple, which materially affects value and financing. A local specialist will make sure you understand the land tenure before you offer.
