Real Estate Questions
- What does TIC mean?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Corncurl, This hasn't caught on very much in Hawaii. It was widely used on the mainland the last 10 years, however. You could say it's a fractional interest in a property. Sometimes it is used for trusts, or partnerships, however a TIC could be an individual that owns 1/4th of a property, for example. I'm sure […]
- looking for a 3 bedroom 2 bath bout 2000 Sq ft. . Budget is Around 200,000.and I am ok with 20 -30 miles out of town communte to work.
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Samaustx, The lowest priced homes on Oahu go for $250/SF and up. $200,000 will get you a condo for approx 800 SF, in an area outside of town (Metro Honolulu). Most people downsize by 30-40% when they come here, so I recommend going to less than 1200 SF. Or perhaps start with a studio if you can, then work up to a bigger plac […]

- what is the average price for a lot ,land in 96712,haleiwa,square meter?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Jacques, Over the last 3 months, the average prices have varied widely (and wildly), since an agricultural lot with 300,000+ SF sold, as well other properties. A good option is to look for homes that are in fair to poor (including "tear down") condition. You can remove the home, or renovate an existing one. Some of […]
- Who is responsible for property taxes on a condo that is being foreclosed?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Hi Honugirl, No one really has to pay them (to a certain point), since they have to paid to transfer title. Normally the impound account, or escrow that was built up pays them. The county and and property taxes will be paid first. The lender (or whomever owns it at the time), should make sure that it is not foreclosed on due to […]
- How is a buyer supposed to know if the property is a leasehold? It seems like the agents are leaving that detail out?
  Answer by Frank Diaz, MBA, RA: Unless the rules have changed, HAR says it must have the word "Leasehold." http://www.konarealtors.com/_library/documents/haradrules.pdf Aloha, Frank […]

SEA LEVEL READINGS INDICATE A TSUNAMI WAS GENERATED. IT MAY HAVE BEEN DESTRUCTIVE ALONG COASTS NEAR THE EARTHQUAKE EPICENTER AND COULD ALSO BE A THREAT TO MORE DISTANT COASTS. AUTHORITIES SHOULD TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION IN RESPONSE TO THIS POSSIBILITY. THIS CENTER WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR SEA LEVEL DATA TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT AND SEVERITY OF THE THREAT.

FOR ALL AREAS – WHEN NO MAJOR WAVES ARE OBSERVED FOR TWO HOURS AFTER THE ESTIMATED TIME OF ARRIVAL OR DAMAGING WAVES HAVE NOT OCCURRED FOR AT LEAST TWO HOURS THEN LOCAL AUTHORITIES CAN ASSUME THE THREAT IS PASSED. DANGER TO BOATS AND COASTAL STRUCTURES CAN CONTINUE FOR SEVERAL HOURS DUE TO RAPID CURRENTS. AS LOCAL CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE A WIDE VARIATION IN TSUNAMI WAVE ACTION THE ALL CLEAR DETERMINATION MUST BE MADE BY LOCAL AUTHORITIES.

ESTIMATED INITIAL TSUNAMI WAVE ARRIVAL TIMES AT FORECAST POINTS WITHIN THE WARNING AND WATCH AREAS ARE GIVEN BELOW. ACTUAL ARRIVAL TIMES MAY DIFFER AND THE INITIAL WAVE MAY NOT BE THE LARGEST. A TSUNAMI IS A SERIES OF WAVES AND THE TIME BETWEEN SUCCESSIVE WAVES CAN BE FIVE MINUTES TO ONE HOUR.
