Psychology of home pricing

Jane Peterson: Real Estate - Other in Kapolei, HI

I’m sure that the final price that you sell a house for depends 90% on the value of the home, the city and state price dynamics and other economic and financial factors. But 10% of the price depends on the psychological factors. If buyer likes the realtor and trusts him or her, the price can be increased by 2-3%. The buyer will agree to it as it’s so pleasant to give a present to such a good guy. So, it can be a good idea to make friends with your potential home buyer. Share some useful (or maybe even insider) info (the easiest route to school to avoid traffic jams or discount coupon to your favorite Gucci clothing store)

The second factor depends on buyer’s awareness that nobody tries to cheap him. If he realizes that there is a difference between the descriptions and the photos of home and the real situation, he will start thinking that there can be a difference between the price written in the description and the real price. So, be honest with your potential buyer and see the difference!

The last factor I want to talk about is buyer’s personal associations. Every grown-up in the world has good and bad experience. Some colors and sounds are associated with pleasant events the others are not. Be attentive while speaking with your potential buyer, pay attention to his emotions not only words and you’ll be able to find the best house for him (with the best associations). Happy buyer will pay more for his house!

Latest Information for the Priority Real Estate Sales Event in 2010 at the Beach Villa Resort at Ko Olina

Alfred Harding: Real Estate Agent in Kapolei, HI

I just received information that the next sales event for the Beach Villas at Ko Olina will be held in May of 2010.

The previous sales event in September resulted in the successful sale of 66 of the remaining 120 villas which leaves a balance of 54 villas that will be made available for purchase. So only around 20% of the units remain for the May sales event.

Reservations are taken in a priority order so quick action on your part will make a difference. If you have an interest, please contact me directly by email or phone ASAP through the links on the right side of the screen so that we can discuss.

There is still a limited opportunity to take advantage of greatly reduced prices and there is no obligation to purchase. There is also no penalty if you change your mind. See below for how the process works:

Sales Process

Reserving a unit requires making a priority reservation. Your place in line or "priority" on selection day is determined by the date and time stamp on your priority reservation. If you would like one of the nicer units and the largest number of choices, making a reservation now will increase your chances. Again, contact me via phone or email to get on the list.

The remaining 54 units will be made available for purchase on the sales event date in May. From past experience, the date is subject to change. However, the last sales event was conducted on the phone to alleviate co-ordinating hotel and airline reservations. However, feel free to call and make a reservation to come visit the property and have a VIP guided tour. If you have not yet visited or would like to take another look around, give me a call.

On the day of the sales event, based on your date and time stamp, the sales staff will call you when it becomes your turn.

The sales staff will go over the inventory list with you (minus the units that have been selected by purchasers who were ahead of you). If one of the available units meets your price/view requirements, you make a selection, otherwise you pass and they go on to the next person in line.

After you sign your contract, the State of Hawaii gives you an additional 30 day out where you can still change your mind if you decide this isn't the place for you. A cooling off period if you will.

After due consideration, if your feel this little slice of paradise might be just what your looking for and the Beach Villas fit in with your vacation/retirement/investment plans, feel free to give me a holler.

Mahalo

Alfred--

A big caviat, while I believe I have a great perspective of what's going on from being involved with the property in many different ways, I am not an attorney.

As with any investment, you'll have to draw your own conclusions and make an educated decision as to if this investment is better than another investment for your situation. A lot has to do with your own motivations and why you wish to be here at the Beach Villas. I can lend you my ear but ultimately, only you will know if this is the right fit for you.

You should also run all of the legal documents through your attorney as there is a forest worth of documents between you and Centex, Centex and Ko Olina Development (KOD), Beach Villas and KOD, Beach Villas and Resort Management, etc. As homeowners, we continue to dig up additional inter-related documents and are still trying to come to terms with how they fit together to figure out exactly what it is that we have agreed to and not agreed to between all of above listed entities.

On the positive side, we have a financially strong and savvy homeowner group and each member of the group is fairly successful at what they do in the real world when they are not hanging out at the property. The group has been working extremely hard to make sure that homeowner interests are protected as well as they can be under the circumstances.

Where to Find Oceanfront Condos in Ko Olina

11-17-09
David Buck
David Buck: Real Estate Agent in Honolulu, HI

In our 3rd part in a series of Where to Find Oceanfront Condos on Oahu, we leave Waikiki and head clockwise all the way to Ko Olina before we run into more oceanfront condos. A number of harbors take up a good portion of prime real estate along the way... Ko Olina is a resort along Oahu's leeward or west shore. The climate is very similar to the resorts on the western shores of outer islands like Maui's Kaanapali and the Kona side of the Big Island. It is also a relatively new resort and kind of reminds me of what Kaanapali was like when I was a kid there in the early '80's... There's a number of newer construction condo projects there, however only 2 oceanfront complexes: Kai Lani (built by Armstrong builders in 2003) and The Beach Villas at Ko Olina (Recently built by Centex). Although both on the ocean, they are quite different. Kai Lani is more of a low rise, townhome style & The Beach Villas are in a high rise on one of the man made lagoons. Some of the other properties that front the ocean in Ko Olina are the Ihilani by JW Marriott, a timeshare project by Marriott and Hawaii's soon to be built Disney themed hotel.

Ko Olina real estate has been hit harder than other areas of Oahu because the majority of the people that bought were speculators and second home owners. There are a number of short sales & foreclosures on the market there. This in my opinion is a good time to buy within the next year. In addition to the Disney hotel going in, there are now going to be retail shops and a convenience store so you won't have to drive all the way to Kapolei to pick up some necessities. Once these projects are built, there won't be a whole lot left there, especially when it comes to oceanfront!

Here's a gallery I put together of Ko Olina oceanfront condos. Enjoy :)
