The market in the Nanakai and Honokai neighborhoods have had very little activity. Two reasons possible:

1. homeowners tend to hold on to their homes longer than average in this neighborhood.

2. owners are waiting to put their homes on the market, but will do so when the buyer activity in the area increases.

No fee simple properties are currently for sale as of Jan '12.
