Great presentation of where only the rich can live and probably never enter the water

one of the best informational videos ive seen yet, most videos are of the person talking and showing only themselves and a lot of unnecessary blah blah blah,, thank you the information and the well presented video !!

Aloha Todd 🤙🏽 Great job with the video 👍🏻

i love the my land in volcano. privacy and primitive beauty.

What a fantastic guide of the west side of the island!

This is my first time commenting on KZfaq and I've been watching KZfaq since it's been out. Just wanted to pause and say that the use of Google Earth in this video was genius! This helps those people like me that are visual learners. Also, your knowledge of the material for this video must have taken a long time to prepare and make rehearse. Ive never made any videos on KZfaq, but I've taken a Speech class in college and can see how much work you really put into this video. Thank you, I honestly enjoyed it and I have a pretty short attention span. I wish KZfaq did the 5 -star method for videos. It would be really helpful for both content creator and the audience. Sir, for you I give 5-stars! P.s. KZfaq, good selection on free movies on here. 4 stars. #LetsStartRatingVideosByThe5-StarMethod

i live here too and it's really bad that my Kid's will never be able to own a home here because of out of sight prices. Lucky for them i own a home that I built just for them and will pass it on to them. I built the home in 2005 when real property prices were in line and affordable. I live in Ocean View and i built my redwood cedar custom two bedroom home on an acre. My 12 sided main room and 8 sided second bedroom ( 265 square foot) make up to two main rooms for my 2 bedroom 2 bath home. In your ad you didn't get down our way, why? I tell everyone I talk to about this area and it's the best place to retire. Kona has traffic problems and too many people in a small area and way to expensive. I bought a home in Holualoa in 2000 for $199,000.00 and I left in 2009 after I got my final and never looked back. Both of my kid's were born in Hilo and at that time I was general sales manager for 3 radio stations operating out of Hilo. My Mom was a DeMello and was boen and raised in Hilo and worked at the old Hilo hospital as a nurse. I was born in 1939 in California and have lived here for 50 years, I'm 83 and 84 is real close.😅

Great Video Todd!

Kona. My kids will own my home one day. Biggest thing I have done in my life. I am thankful beyond measure. For those who cannot, I feel but, we worked our asses off on the mainland for 30 years b4 being naive enough to try. Go pay your dues & bring a years worth of cash. Good advice for free !

great video...been on Oahu since 2009 & somehow never been Big Isle

I was hoping the fly-over tour would have taken me more South, I was hoping to see how far the other communities were, like Kona Paradice, and down towards Ocean view which is where I am interested in seeing. This video was very informative

Thanks! We 'map-heads' greatly enjoy this type of video.

Very good video! Love the drone view. Also appreciate your correct pronunciation of Hawaa'in words. One thing you could add is price ranges of homes as you did for South Kona. Some day I would like to have a part time residency there, not sure if I could live all the time. I believe So Cal and Hawaii both have a lot to offer. Mahalo.

Great video!

I can't afford Kona. I can afford three homes in Puna.

Very interested on some real-estate on Kohana district how can I get a hold of you

I worry about geologic instability (earthquakes, volcanos) on Hawaii Island.

I'm sorry but this video SMACKS of a Tourist Video, you paid entirely too much time exhorting the amenities of the Resorts whose property taxes & HOA's are Eye-Watering to say the least. Why nothing about the neighborhoods situated above Kailua-Kona? Those are the true jewels of the Kona Region, especially for those of us who want a slower, down to Aina Lifestyle.

Before the days of all of these mega resorts, my God father a real estate broker T. Perry there on the big island offered me a house there it was a VA assumable, it was a newly built never lived in 2 or 3 bedroom house with a drive through drive way, half court Basket ball court, a tennis court it also had solar power with a rock inlayed fish pond bigger than a swimming pool that bordered the drive driveway I asked what the hell is that next to the driveway, a swimming pool, he said no it's a fish pond, with a stroke of a pen with no $$$ down the house would have been mine, I would just have needed to be able to make the mortgage payments, problem though I was senior still in high school on the main land, San Jose Ca. So to say at the age of 18, I simply was not ready to take on the responsibilities of becoming a home owner.

What? No locations in the east of the Big Island? No Hilo? No Volcano? No Ocean View? All of these are way more affordable than Kailua-Kona and the West and NW of the island.

Actually,,, there's good AND there's bad,, among all 5 populated islands of Hawaii,,, (Kauai,, Oahu,, Molokai,, Maui,, and the Big Island). You REALLY need to do a composite analysis/(rating) and decide just WHICH of the 5 islands,,, has the (uh hum) lesser of all Evils for you. In other words,,, some individuals ARE better fit for the Big Island. Some individuals are a better fit for Kauai,, some a better fir for Oahu,,, some a better fit for MoloKai,, and some a better fit for Maui. Now in regards to the Big Island,,, certain spots are great,, while certain spots (ummm) NOT so great. Likewise regarding Kauai,,, certain spots are great,, while certain spots (ummm) NOT so great (and likewise regarding Oahu,, Molokai and Maui). If you're in need of keen medical care,, you're probably best off on either Oahu,,, or on the Big Island (not so much on the other islands). If you're in need in the lowest crime rate possible,, you're best off on either Kauai,,, or maybe Maui. Well anyway,,, so there you go.
