Enjoy Crystal Clear Large HD Photos

Great photos are the #1 thing all buyers want to see. The large HD photo below is the size we show on our website. Viewing large HD photos lets you see details you do not notice with smaller images.

No Photos Are Hidden

In addition, to know if a home is priced right, you must be able to compare it to similar homes. It is impossible to make comparisons if you can only see 1 photo of a sold home.

When you sign up with us, we show you all the photos when viewing sold homes, whereas other sites only show one photo. Seeing all the photos allows you to make accurate price comparisons.

Notice on the popular website below the image is much smaller, and they even crop part of the photo, so you can't read the text at the top.

Our Raving Fans United to Prevent Listings From Being Hidden

When the Board of Realtors told OahuRE.com to hide all pending, withdrawn, and expired listings, we asked our raving fans for help.

They responded and sent a strong message to the Board through 300+ emails, 280+ Facebook comments, and 1,100 likes on our Facebook post.

The Board of Realtors then reversed their decision and now allows OahuRE.com to show all listings.

We want to say "Thank You!" to our raving fans for supporting OahuRE.com and making sure buyers and sellers continue to have access to all listings.

No Hidden or Disappearing Listings

On other websites, you might notice homes you are interested in disappearing. This is because they do not show you all the status options.

For example, Zillow and Trulia do not show In Escrow Not Showing and Withdrawn. If a home goes into one of those status options, it simply disappears from their site. We show you everything so nothing disappears, and you can get a complete set of comparables with nothing missing.

Another example is that, as of June 2017, HiCentral was showing 23,138 listings compared to 254,542 listings we are showing. This is because we do not hide listings.

Buyers and Sellers Must Know the Comparables

Having good comparables is one of the most critical pieces of information a buyer or seller needs. Without good comparables, sellers might price their home wrong and see their property not sell or price too low and see it sell for less than they could have received. A buyer without good comparables might be paying too much for a property.

With one click, you can view the best comparables for any property.

Negotiate Better by Knowing the Complete Sales History

To properly negotiate, you must know the sales history. Our sold listings go back to 1993. Using this data, you will understand the history of a neighborhood, specific property, or building. You also need a complete history with nothing missing to make a good decision. We show In Escrow Showing, In Escrow Not Showing, Expired, Withdrawn, and Canceled listings to give you the complete history. View Complete Sales History Live Example.

Our Database Goes Over 20 Years Back for The Complete History

When viewing any listing, you can see a 15-year history of that listing's Neighborhood, Street, or Building with just one click.

We filter the results so the listings shown are close to the listing you are currently evaluating.

Going back 20 years is a great way to understand history, as you can see if prices have increased or decreased.

See All Results Full Screen on Google Maps

This view shows you all results color coded on Google Maps. Click on any icon to bring up a photo and some basic information on the property. Click again on the photo and view the property detail page.

This view is excellent as we use Google Maps and do not put it in a small frame like other websites. Instead, we allow the map to take up the entire browser window. It is a great way to understand where the various properties are located that interest you.

Timeline View

Our Timeline View is a great way to understand how many price drops a property had, when they lowered their price, and how long it took to get into escrow and close. It gives you the history of each property in the area that interests you.

For example, you can search by region but exclude specific neighborhoods.

You can search a specific distance from any property or popular locations, such as military bases and beaches.

Search by Location Using Google Maps

Pinpoint the location you are interested in on the map or enter any address on the island, then choose how far around that address to search - for example, 1/2 mile, 1 mile, or more. You can also use our location search drop-down to select popular locations to search around, including all military bases, hospitals, or popular beaches. You can then view your search results in one of our popular views listed above.

All Oahu Beach Access Points

One of the privileges of living on Oahu is going to the Ocean and the Beach year-round. Therefore, knowing all the Beach and Ocean Access points is important because you want to know what options are close to where you will live.

We show all access points, including a link for Street View, Directions, and Satellite View. We also list the access point amenities, such as Restrooms, Shore Type, Lifeguard, etc.

We also provide a link from all property detail pages showing you directions on Google Maps to the closest Beach Access Point.

Honolulu Board of Realtors Monthly Stats Posted

Want to know how the Oahu Real Estate Market is doing? The Honolulu Board of Realtors puts out two very detailed statistical reports monthly, both a monthly overview and a local market update. The report is added to OahuRE.com when it comes out and is ready for downloading. A sample page is shown below.

All Properties Linked to Crime Information

All Properties Linked to Sex Offender Information

Seller's Closing Cost Calculator

The Seller's Closing Cost Calculator provides your total closing costs and breaks each one down separately so you can understand your closing costs better. You can adjust it by the price of the home and what type of commission you are paying.

Buyer's Closing Cost Calculator

The Buyer's Closing Cost Calculator provides buyers with their total closing costs and breaks each one down separately so you can better understand your closing costs. You can adjust it by the price of the home, down payment, discount points on the loan, and buyer's agent commission.

Foreclosures & Short Sales

Our Foreclosures & Short Sales search lists all Active Foreclosures and Short Sales. You can then filter the price by property type, list date, price, neighborhood, or building name. This makes it easy to find Foreclosure and Short sale deals, often priced below market value.

Google Traffic Maps

View screenshots that were taken every 15 minutes throughout the day showing Google Maps in Traffic view. See what your commute will be like from various points around the island. You can also see what time of the day might be best to go to and leave work if that is an option for you.

Comprehensive Help Including All Paragraphs of the Purchase Contract

Our help sections are the most in-depth source of information on the Purchase Contract you will find. We cover all 96 paragraphs of the Purchase Contract, so if you have a question on any paragraph, you can easily get answers.

In addition, we answer the most common question you might have when buying and selling Real Estate on Oahu. We also have our recommended vendors for loans and inspections and many other services you need.

Counter and Multiple Offer Calculator

One of the biggest challenges buyers face is getting their offer accepted, especially if there are multiple offers or you receive a counteroffer. This calculator will help you see how much you will pay per day to increase your offer.

Many people think in terms of the total dollar amount of the increase, but assuming you are getting a loan, the change to your payment can be nominal. For example, at a 4.5% interest rate, increasing your offer by $5,000 adds less than $1 dollar per day to your loan payment. It is critical to have this information easily available to help in your decision-making process.

Mortgage Savings Calculator

Our Mortgage Savings Calculator is unique in that it gives you the total interest paid and how much interest you can save if you pay extra each month. We also show you interest saved for 5, 10, 15 years, etc., using an amortization table. We do this because we know not everyone will stay in their home for 30 years.

While most buyers diligently negotiate the purchase price, they forget that a much larger expense is the interest paid on your loan. For example, a property that you buy at $500,000 with 20% down ends up costing an additional $329,627 in interest over the course of a 30-year loan, assuming a 4.5% interest rate.

While you might be able to cut $5,000 off the price of the property during negotiations, you have a much bigger opportunity to save money by reducing your total interest paid. Putting only $100 per month extra would save you $35,400.

Tax Info, Plat & Parcel Map, and Sketch Links

When viewing any listing, with just one click, you can view the complete Tax Information from the City and County of Honolulu's Website. It includes a Plat Map in PDF Format, a GIS Parcel Map, and a Building Sketch. It also allows you to verify the Square Footage and Assessed Value, along with a list of any Permits that were filed and Past Sales Information, even if it was not sold on the MLS before.

Pet-Friendly Details

We clearly label the Pet-Friendly buildings using the icon below. In addition, we have called 165 of the most popular buildings to find out first-hand what their pet policy is. We then publish their pet policy on our property detail page, so you know details such as how many dogs, what size, etc.
